Be confident, and don't worry about what other people think. Is there any advice regarding other aspiring plus cosplayer out there that may be scared to cosplay because of their weight?Ī. Once, but it was mostly focused at our group of cosplays, and not me particularly. Whither it is putting on a costume, and it not quite fitting right, but I think that is something allot of people go through.Ī. Princess Sakura - White dress from artwork.Ī. So being acknowledged for our hard work is pretty awesome. Neither of us are skinny or stunningly beautiful. but knowing that my cosplay partner and I did our best and pulled through. Judges choice 2007 Oni con, Best Craftsmanship Mechacon 2009, Louisianime Cosplay ball 2010, and Best in Show Louisianime 2010. And in those last ten years I have won four awards. I have been going to conventions for the past ten years. So there have been a few times I have stepped back from a project I would like to do.Ī. No matter how hard I would try it would just look strange to me. I try my hardest to make my costumes, make up, and corseting to look as fabulous as possible! It's something I think has made me grow.Ĭons - There are certain cosplays / crossplays that I would love to do, but I feel I just wouldn't look right for the part. Pros - Despite not being the right body type for a character. Why not show it off with some cool looking cosplays!Ī. I do it to show my love for the characters. But I usually pick sensible costumes that I can work it.Ī.You really shouldn't care what others think. Regular people tend to be pretty evil when I'm in my blonde wig for Millie when we went to restaurants. The hardest thing for me is finding my size. What do you feel is the hardest thing to do as a plus size cosplayer?Ī. I've been thinking of Seras Victoria from Hellsing for next year. More realistically will be Chrono from Chrono Crusade someday.
#Nike amored chrono plus super series#
I loved that series but definately loved her! I haven't done any dark or black people yet. Definately Aisha Clan Clan from outlaw star. Do you have any dream cosplays that you want/will do in the future?Ī. Felt proud since we made the skirts and dyed the jackets. People would stop my friend and me for pictures. My best experience was back in AWA 06 when I was Noriko Nakagawa from battle royale. What can you say, was the best experience you’ve ever had at a con?Ī. So, another con would be not all costumes are made equal, not everyone can pull off a dead or alive beach volleyball bikini for instance. There are some costumes that plus size cosplayers have no business in wearing. The cons would be how expensive it is to do a costume because of your size whether you are making or buying. The pro's of being a plus size cosplayer would have to be being able to be larger characters and having natural assets. What are the pro’s and con’s being a plus size cosplayer?Ī. Things I would've never of pursued had I not started this hobby. Cosplay helped me get to where I am in the entertainment industry by getting me interested in modeling, photography, and acting. Don't let other people or their opinions dictate your life. Beauty, brains, and talent have never been size exclusive. Is there any advice regarding other aspiring plus cosplayers out there that may be scared to cosplay because of their weight?Ī. (Models, Acting Coaches, Casting Directors, Agents, etc.) What they say can actually benefit my career while "you're fat," really just states the obvious. I only pay attention to constructive criticism from industry professionals now. I stopped caring about that years ago, trolls are going to say whatever they want to. Have you ever heard or read any rude comments made against/towards you or your cosplays?Ī. Often patterns cut to "my size" are too lose when I put them on a dress form when dialed for my corseted size, so I often have to re-cut and sew as often the patterns are also "too long" for my 5'5 frame. The more curves you have the harder it is to get something to hang/drape properly.
