Title: Looking to commission part of a cosplay!
Post by: Lady Locust on July 04, 2012, 11:48:01 pm
Hey, I'm looking for someone with the sewing skills to make the dress (and possibly the wig) for Dawn/Lady Platinum from Pokemon.
Here's some references: 1 (http://images.wikia.com/protagonist/images/d/d2/337px-Dawn_Anime.png), 2 (http://pokemon.neoseeker.com/w/i/pokemon/8/8e/Dawn.png)
I'm also looking for something that isn't TOO expensive, but I understand that seamstresses need to eat too. I'm hoping to have this cosplay by August 30th, so anyone interested in this project, please message me or reply here! (I will send my measurements in a message) Thank you!

Titus, could you link me to some photos of past commissions you've done?
Also, I think I found someone to work on the dress part of the cosplay with me.

http://tinypic.com/r/sdci6p/6 Getits pokemon black & white - This one was styled and it looks amazing before the girl i did it for ruined it this is it still with clips in and drying

http://tinypic.com/r/3479pqv/6  Lolita wig/furret - This one was longer about mid back I cut it shoulder lanth i did the bangs and then Curled it.

http://tinypic.com/r/2ef4090/6  -front of the brown wig

http://tinypic.com/r/23mn0up/6 - Mellow - Death note just a simple bang cut i did

http://tinypic.com/r/2zyv9jo/6 -Lolita black wig - This one was more of a repair than anything els I use the pig tails as stright and curled this one was reccent that i did for myself it was bad shape after beign used by a friend who messed it up bad i thought i had to toss them out I brushed them and detanged them took me 2 hours to do after that I recurled them and cut the base of the wig to go with the lolita

I charge $5-20 for each wig I do. and  I like the costumer with me so when I am trimming the wig I can trim the bangs to their face so it looks way better. Most of the wigs done are mine and my girlfriends or my sisters.  ^^

I really like your work! I'd love to commission you for a wig for my Dawn cosplay! Should I buy the wig first and then you style it? Or do you usually buy the wig yourself and style it as well?

i thought i found someone who could work on it with me, but it's too hard to find the pattern for the dress now. I'll talk with the person about it tomorrow and then let you know if I still need someone for it : )

You would have to buy the wig ^^ and then I do the styleing I like my costumers to come meet with me at my home or theirs so I can cut the wig to your facal fetures. as well ^^ and get the impute it only takes me and hour or so to style a wig :O

Sounds like a plan! I'll let you know when I buy the wig. My family is having some money troubles this month so I'll probably buy it in a week?

So it looks like I won't be able to afford the entire cosplay for Dawn, but I have a different cosplay that needs a wig to be styled. Is that okay? I can go get reference pictures right now.
