Sure, well the reason I picked the Doctor was pretty much when I was in college a friend of mine introduced me to the TV show Doctor Who. I watched all the new series as well as parts of the new series. When they introduced Peter Capaldi as the new doctor, I saw an amazing…

So last year when I was with my family over Christmas break, I binge watched Young Justice on Netflix. When YJ first came out I was still super busy with school and never got around to watching it, but after I finally binge watched it I was blown away by how deep the story and…

I actually decided on cosplaying Bob Ross while I was out looking for a mask for a different cosplay and my mom pointed out how this one afro wig just screamed Bob Ross. That was pretty much all it took for me to change plans and buy the wig instead, the rest came together pretty…

After binge watching Dragon ball super, I was excited to see a new females character introduced in the series, Vados. She was shrewd, humorously sarcastic, and possibly stronger than Goku (well at least at the time.) I knew early on that creating Vados would be challenging, because there weren’t any commercial sewing patterns available that…

Regina (Portland, OR)
When I started getting interested in cosplay and costuming, I had absolutely no knowledge of sewing or fabric! I remember going to @FabricDepot in Portland for the first time with my mom (because she had told me all about it!) and I was so overwhelmed. It’s basically Home Depot for sewing–and it lives up to its name.…

Alrighty so here’s my story. Dallas Comic Con . This was my first con to ever attend and I didn’t want to do cosplay at the time, because I was 16 years old and thought grown people dressing up for these events was absurd. Boy how wrong I was! I was hooked after that day.…

Subaru Camui (Las Vegas, NV)
So my cosplay origin story started back when I was in fifth grade. I was 10 and my mom told me she couldn’t afford to get me a Halloween costume that year. So I stayed up all night being really sad about it and then suddenly I had an idea. So I ran around my…

Phaleure Cosplay (Columbia, MD)
We are all pretty local to each other so we do it quite often at least once or twice before each major con. If we can’t meet in person we do Google hangouts. It’s much more motivating to cosplay on groups because if you are in a slump the progress of your pals could inspire…

Lisachu (Anchorage, AK)
I chose to make a Vault Suit because Fallout is one of my favorite games. I’ve made other outfits from the series in the past, but held off from making a vault suit because I couldn’t decide which vault number I wanted to put on the back. I started thinking it would be interesting to…

@DraconPern (San Antonio, TX)
It started probably back in 2006 or 2007. You get bored and you look online for anime-related stuff and by chance I see these characters, these photos online. It wasn’t even that popular in Japan at that time, there was only a few sites where people posted photos and that is how I first found…
