So...
We all have cosplay woes. We can't deny it. You can't afford the fabric that's absolutely perfect, the item you're waiting for hasn't come in the mail, you are halfway through something and it doesn't work...
Come here and talk about your costuming issues.

I, for one, am majorly dissapointed. I had this BEAUTIFUL idea for the end-of-year formal: a Yuuko (xxxHOLiC) cosplay! I could wear the dress to the dance, then use it for a con in the future. I was thinking the Victorian Riding Outfit...  And Mum said no. I sketched it out, (the whole thing! Every aspect of the outfit, all on one page). I even chose this one because I thought it'd be okay for a formal dance, and I'd be able to recycle some of my extra fabric... And she just said that I needed to pick a normal dress. But what's fun about being normal? She said I could make my dress if I wanted to, but I didn't think my heart would be in it as much. She also added that I wasn't Japanese, but technically the outfit is from the Victorian era in the UK. Ah HA, I'm British. So technically it's my heritage. I even knew how I was going to make it light up!  I counted every single button on the reference picture, I even already have a miniature top hat... At least she said I could wear the top hat. *weak grin* |

Oh no! That's terrible Maybe you could at least convince her to let you wear it to a con sometime?
I have a slight cosplay woe too - my mom told me she's not letting me dye my hair blonde for my Zelda cosplay A WIG JUST WON'T BE AS GOOD! Granted, my problem isn't as big as yours, but to me it's pretty major.

Yeah, I'm working on it... I think if I can convince her to let me make it, then finding a place to wear it won't be as hard.
I can see what she's saying, though. Talk to Misa about dying your hair- just be sure that it's what you want before you do it. If it turns out good, then awesome! But I've seen how hard it is to dye your hair. What about temporary dye, the kind that lasts for two or three days? Maybe that'll solve your problems.

That's good news ;D I'm sure the cosplay'll look awesome once you're done. SEND ME PICS!
Yeah, well, I actually dyed my hair black for my Himawari cosplay - semi-permanent. It took me some research and convincing for my mom to let me dye it, but she gave in once I told her it would only last about 2-3 months. Maybe she just has a problem with the blonde hair in particular? Either that or she just doesn't want me to dye it a bunch of times. I'll definitely bring up a more temporary hair dye, though - thanks for suggesting it.
