Character data collection

After choosing a role, you need to collect data on the costumes to be cosplayed, such as the seam position of the clothes, the range of color usage, and details such as decorations.

For the collected costume data, color or material samples should be established to face subsequent production.

After collecting the clothing structure, it should be split into various independent parts, and then assembled. This will not only reduce the difficulty of production, but also enable quick and easy adjustments after finding the problem.

Material purchase

After confirming the various data of the clothing, it is necessary to purchase the materials. When purchasing, it is best to purchase 20% more of the main fabric as a backup. For the purchase of other auxiliary materials, such as wings and tails, you can purchase them according to actual conditions.

Tool preparation

Various tools are indispensable for making clothes, such as laser level and marker for positioning, sewing machine for sewing, tape measure and hot air gun, etc., which can be purchased according to needs.

Production process

At the beginning, kraft paper was used for the first version creation to accumulate experience. It is recommended to buy a mannequin with a similar body shape at the beginning of production. Placing the made clothes on the mannequin can better and more intuitively observe whether the clothes are suitable for you.

When cutting, it is necessary to increase the amount of activity in some key parts, such as the cuffs or underarms, to increase stretchability to avoid wearing tight.

Clothes preservation

After the clothes are made, they must be well preserved so that they can be used continuously without damage. If there are metal parts in the clothes, it is best to use a nitrogen-filled box to store them to prevent oxidation and corrosion of the metal parts. Use anti-static hangers for hanging clothes to better protect the clothes and increase their use time.
