I'll give some more when I remember them!

Awesome idea, by the way~!

This isn't directly related to making costumes, but here is a posing and con etiquette tutorial. It has a lot of useful posing tips and the latter portion contains things everyone should be aware of as a photographer as well as a cosplayer to maximise the enjoyment of everyone at the con. C:

Great idea for a thread!

(Also someone else posted this website in another thread - it contains links to a lot of different tutorials.)
