Just search for what you want, like keywords.
Off the top of my head, "blonde 2 clip ponytail wig" try adding "cosplay" onto that if results aren't satisfactory x

Alright, I have a few questions. First, before I begin, that is a wonderful looking cosplay and I commend you for everything you put into it.

Now for the questions: Did you make your costume? If so, how did you get the sleaves sewn like that? Did you just use needle and thread or something more?

Second, How did you actually make the sleaves? What did you use?

Thank you for your time and wonderful cosplay!

Hi (: Thank you very much. I'll gladly answer your questions.

Yes, I did make my costume.
For the sleeves, I punctured holes in the shirt and the sleeve and then I pulled embroidery thread ( you could also use something like wool as long as it's strong enough) through the holes in a zig-zag. I tied a knot on each end on the under side to secure it where the knots couldn't be seen. (I hope that made sense! I can try and clarify it more if you need to, I'm terrible at explaining myself)

As for making the sleeves, I took an oven glove and studied the way it was sewn. I made a pattern from this but obviously extended the sleeve length on the pattern so the length would go all the way up to where it needed to.
As for the glove size around my hand, on the pattern paper I just placed my hand on it, draw around it then defined it into an oven glove like shape.
For the 3D, I simply stuffed the oven glove leaving enough room to wiggle my hand inside (:
Lastly, so I could use my hands, I made an incision on the inside of the glove so I could slide my hands out when I needed them. This is concealed by the black oval which stays in place and opens with Velcro. You could also use poppers.
(Again, I hope this made sense!)

Thank you for taking an interest in my cosplay (: x

Wow, thanks for that awesome description.
The Niche cosplay I have is bought and made by a not-so-good manufacturer...
That's the only one i could find. The dress part of it was okay, but the sleaves suck... So I think I may use you're way of making the sleaves if that's okay.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
