For a lot of newbie cosplayers, and sometimes even more experienced, it's hard to go shopping for fabrics and know exactly what you want, or will work for the costume that you're working on. Speaking from experience, and seeing friends' experiences, this can be very frustrating. So I've put together a little guide to help you in choosing fabrics for your cosplays.
NOTE: This is only a small little guide to help you in the right direction. I claim no authority to be an expert.

I was actually honestly going to make this into a video, but I don't have the time for getting all nice looking and sitting and filming and editing right now with Anime North crunch going on. So a blog it is!
I'm planning to start doing a few of these, relating at least to conventions that I myself attend or have attended more than once and can give some handy tips to survive specific conventions! I've been asked a few times over the last few months of what would be the best things to have in your hotel room. And after going to enough conventions, I think I have a list for you!
With so many conventions popping up each year, it can be exciting to think "oh look there's this new con let's go!". The sudden onslaught in growth of conventions the last few years (especially since 2012/2013) has been overwhelming to man cosplayers (and convention goers in general).
Costorial = Cosplay Tutorial
I'm going to start doing these kinds of blog posts to help out cosplayers. If you find my costorial blogs useful, let me know! As the title for my first costorial says, this one is about preparing for a big costume. This could be very helpful to especially new cosplayers looking to tackle a big cosplay. I've been in the cosplay community for a pretty long time (8 years in November oh my!), and I've come to hear/read a lot of comments/complaints about different fabrics. The most complained about? Satin. There are varying reasons for these complaints, some are pretty justified and I get why they'd complain. But here's a fact that isn't so known about me: satin is one of my favourite fabrics to work with! This blog post is going to explain how you can combat the difficulties of working with this fabric, and how it can work for almost anything (if you use it appropriately)!
