I think the wig looks great

nikkiolie · « **Reply #151 on:** August 20, 2008, 11:29:12 pm »

I added more around the ears like you said and I think it does look much better like that. I'll have a better picture some other time.

And you wig looks great

veraca · « **Reply #152 on:** August 20, 2008, 11:43:42 pm »

Good =3 Was trying to help~ I saw the pic and got to thinking about how I would pull back the parts of the hair and how the rest would get puffy... @.@ Understanding how hair moves is important with wigs!

Thanks =3 No wig head, but the wig seems to be fine on top of my lamp, so long as I don't turn it on that is.

I think it is very cute! You did a wonderful job! Whats it made of?

Cool!
Lawls i didn't know until you commented my profile XD
Very cool cosplay, my friend Dana is going to cosplay Sakura-hime i think...

katayamadono · « **Reply #156 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:36:18 am »

Ok, much earlier I posted my Hikaru, and I finally fixed up my headband. Not much different, but better. I used foam board instead of cardboard.... It will be less noticable that I did a bad job this time!

i like it, but the circles are a but...sloppy-ish ~
The painting job is much better 8D

Haha, I didnt have enough gold to just paint the circles, and not enough glue to make the hinges, but I do agree that its better than before...

veraca · « **Reply #158 on:** August 22, 2008, 01:13:50 am »

MUCH better before. The golden circles do look a tad sloppy around the edges. Maybe glue on a thin gold ribbon, or bias tape, around the edges to make it look more like a solid circle? Or put hot glue around it to bring it out more 3D-like and paint the glue gold/yellow to match.

Here's a sneak peak at mine. I'm not very far along with only a little over 8 days left....
If you have any ideas or tips, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks, everyone. All y'all's costumes are looking really spiffy.

Alright I got my wig for Hikaru Hitachiin today and styled it a little. The rest of the costume isn't done but maybe I'll wear his date outfit to the zoo or car wash or something. Anyways I wanted to hear everyones opinion about how I styled it.

The wig is a little darker than I wanted it to be but I guess it is more like what their real hair color would be. It looks more natural.

Just clean up the stray hairs a bit, and it'll look fantastic. I know nothing about wig styling, though, so I can't tell how easy/difficult a task that will be. The shape of the wig looks great. If you went as is, you'd still have a quality hairstyle.

Right on, I think you did a great job. I instantly recognized the character before even reading it, so that's definitely a good thing. Looks natural too, which is pretty awesome.

Also love the date outfit!!

By the way, has anyone told you you're brilliant yet? Cuz you are. It baffles me how much you know about crafting and such.
Haha, that is a great suggestion. I'll probably just use some of the left overs from the material.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #163 on:** August 22, 2008, 02:58:29 am »

Or you can grab a pair of sharp scissors and make small snips and shave off bits until it's round. Trust me. It can be done.

veraca · « **Reply #164 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:05:27 am »

That looks amazing. I could give you suggestions but since you aren't done they would be useless. I would say paint and I'm sure you are going to do that XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #169 on:** August 22, 2008, 10:39:43 am »

yeah Danayoki I think it looks really good. I don't really see anything that could be improved.....maybe a wig? But its a little late for that.

There's a great wig store in Beaverton if you have access to it. It's called Wells Wigs unlimited. It's off of Allen Blvd. near the Safeway in the corner of the strip mall. They've got quite a selection for a small shop. You might be able to find something there. I was just there today for a wig hair cap.

Here's the website. I think it's a chain store rather than a local one: http://www.wigsunlimited.com/

nikkiolie · « **Reply #171 on:** August 22, 2008, 02:48:09 pm »

I see. Well if that is the case then please ignore my comment. ^_^

*emerges from cloud of spray paint*

*coughcough* Yeah, I'm painting it alright. It's kind of a mottled khaki now. Thanks, though. The idea is very appreciated.

LtCommanderRichie - Wow!!!! The costume looks awesome! The only thing I can suggest is to cut the wig ^^ it looks a bit long for yuffie~

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #179 on:** August 24, 2008, 02:47:15 pm »

I knooooooow, but I'm paranoid about short wigs showing my actual hair. Maybe a little bit shorter.

veraca · « **Reply #180 on:** August 24, 2008, 02:55:19 pm »

I was worried about that with my Roxas wig cause it's so short in the back. Since I don't have a wig cap, I'll be making use of clips to hold my hair up into place =3 But really short wigs cover hair nicely.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #181 on:** August 24, 2008, 02:58:47 pm »

Yes, but does your hair reach your-mid back and have thickness comparable the crust of the earth? I'm surprised I even got it under the wig as it is.

Ryanne_monday · « **Reply #182 on:** August 24, 2008, 03:42:39 pm »

Cloudy Tifa Cosplay
Game Tifa
SO I've been kinda dreading putting this up, cause I don't know how people react to original costumes. This costume took an Advent Children Cloud costume and turned it into a hybrid between Tifa's game costume and Ac costume. Not pictured is the long fighting glove I've made to look like the one in the character picture, and the fact that I've cropped the shirt to touch on my ribs.
Let me know what your guys think, really nervous...

veraca · « **Reply #183 on:** August 24, 2008, 03:57:30 pm »

Looks awsome~

Yeah I've worn a wig when my hair reached my butt, and I have really thick hair too. I cut it a bit ago so I'm growing it out again, so it's about to my middle shoulders.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #184 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:03:06 pm »

alright i need help TT_TT

(sorry their sideways)

i ordered the costume to large TT_TT any one know of a good tailor in the portland area that does speedy fix ups? i dont have time to do it myself

oslapedo · « **Reply #185 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:12:23 pm »

Well apart from the baggy back it looks good if that's any consolation :3

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #186 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:14:24 pm »

^o^;; some what thank you... i hope i can find some one... if not im goin to have tow hip out the scissors and my needle TT_TT *my sewing machine broke last night*

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #187 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:35:18 pm »

I was considering bringing my sewing machine to the con to help people with tears, I think I'll see about bringing it.

But, you know, a lot of dry cleaners can take things in pretty quick.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #188 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:38:57 pm »

possibley do you have an idea how long it could take?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #189 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:42:08 pm »

Couldn't possibly take too long, it's just taking in the back because it's slightly baggy.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #190 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:44:18 pm »

well the hillsdale dry cleaners is a 1 minute walk from my house ill walk there tommorrow mourning : ) thanks for the advice.

It looks like a good dart in the back could help, but I really wouldn't know. I'm the "wing it" type of seamstress (if you can even call me that).

But the zipper won't shrink along with it.

I'd fix it for you if you could somehow get to me, Chihiro. It only takes a few minutes.

that would be absolutley fantastic of you... however i am not sure how i can get it to you so close before the con, im thinking ill ask the drycleaners what they can do, hopefully bring in the back for me so it fits nice and tight like it should.

if it turns out they cant do what i want then maybe we can work something out if you would still be willing >.<

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #193 on:** August 25, 2008, 12:58:01 am »

the whole thing is a size to big i think... i oredered an adult medium (they didnt have adolecent) when i should have gotten a small, that and i lost a lot of weight since i ordered (last time i diet after i order)

Which is always a good thing =3

Is it just me or do my posts in this thread keep magically disappearing?

Anyway.. I suggested if you can't fix it, safety pin it up and try to pin it to your bra also. That way it doesn't fall that far down in the back either.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #197 on:** August 25, 2008, 01:30:06 am »
