Cosplay Selling Question
« on: July 23, 2009, 04:33:59 pm »
Okay so my mom and I were thinking of having a mini store of selling cosplays cause somehow she likes the idea of making cosplays to sell now XD
And I was wondering what kinda of cosplays do you think people would be willing to buy the most.
I was thinking of making a line of ouran jackets in various sizes.
Another cosplays I was thinking about was Vampire knight uniforms as well.
Possibly some Organization cloaks or something.
So what kinda cosplays do you think I should make?

Oh and sorry if this is in the wrong spot XD I wasn't sure were to put it.

People do love akatsuki cloaks, and the ones last year had strange necks.
TMoHS school uniforms would probably sell fast too (I'd buy one).
Super easily recognizable things seem to be best for selling.
I love the idea of Ouran coats, I think people would buy those super fast.

Ok, those are the only ones that came to my mind right off the bat.

Oh right! I totally forgot about the Haruhi uniforms
Akatsuki cloaks sound like a good idea too.
Thanks :3

Maybe something like the Lucky Star, or K-On unifroms.~
Especially K-ON, since it's new, and going to have a lot of cosplayers.~ :33

K-on? hmm I haven't seen many people talking about cosplaying the uniform lately.
It's mostly the dresses I've been hearing about.
Lucky star is a maybe. Haven't seen many people want to cosplay that recently.

I second the Code Geass uniforms~

Was this going to be an online store or a real-life one?

Harry Potter, female and male, uniforms, from each house, would sell pretty fast, too.
And just regular lolita and J-rocker like outfits, would be a good thing to add in there.

Then again, those are just my suggestions. I know I'd buy some of those, if they were sold in a shop.
I'm really not one for ordering cosplays offline, so shops are great~!

Let's see...

Akatsuki coats
Organization 13 coats
Haruhi uniforms
Ouran uniforms
Vampire Knight uniforms
Code Geass uniforms
D.Gray-Man uniforms (Allen, Lavi, Kanda, and Lenalee)
Soul Eater has been getting pretty popular. Maybe Maka, Soul, and Death the Kid? They are the most commonly done. -nod-

So... basically a ton of uniforms? xD And Soul Eater thrown in there. But yah, most uniforms would go pretty quick, especially if the quality is spiffing and the price isn't *insanely* high.

Hetalia outfits definitely. That's growing in popularity FAST.

And if you're not opening the shop until after this year's con, just see which cosplays are popular there so you can get an idea of what to make.

OMG! Yeah!
If you randomly decide to make hats, I'd make Ash's original hat. Those would sell fast.
