wow...So...How fit do you think a cosplayer should be?

I... don't think they should have to be a certain way at all...?

Did you have a pattern you used for cutting the fabric or something? I'm looking to try to make this dress and you did a really good job. I'm in no rush for an answer either, I was just curious. What fabric did you use? Was it hard? You used a sewing machine, I assume?
π: 0 β©: 1
I used suiting material and yes I used patterns. I used a pilgrim dress pattern with princess sleeves. It's wasn't very had and I would suggest using a machine. I did and it made it way easier than by hand. I never suggest hand sewing unless it's something you have to hand sew.

You look so cute/pretty! Β I'm going to my first Hetalia Day this year. Β I'm going as Fem Italy, but since this particular Hetalia Day Event is also a Halloween event as well, I'm going as Fem Italy as a Sailor Moon parody. Β Her dress itself is blue like Feliciano's uniform, but the skirt and ribbons and stuff are green, white, and red like the Italy flag, plus I'll have a pizza brooch and a stuffed Pookie as Luna (actually a Webkinz cat that looks like Pookie)

You can look at other comments for some answers but lemme know if you have anymore questions! I used cotton for the white parts and suiting for the blue~

Is there anyway you can give me how you made the outfit? And about how much it costed? I wish to make a cheap one for A-kon 24 in May-June.
If you could be as detailed as possible with any links, that would be much appreciated.
If you could note me.... that would be amazing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well if you want cheap you wont get the same result as mine. I used suiting material and lots of lace.
This photo is from before I fixed it but I even added an under skirt so it looked extra nice.
I made it so long ago I cannot give a super detailed how to... xDDD
But I used a pilgrim dress pattern from Simplicity and I mixed it with a princess pattern I already had to get the effect on the sleeves. DO NOT USE ELASTIC use a long stitch and gather the material up. I winged the collar in it's entirety so I cannot help you much there other than say use a steady hand and it's MUCH easier to size down than size up so be generous with the fabric. To get the middle ribbon to stand up so nicely it's good to use a super thick interfacing. I suggest leather needles to help you pierce the interfacing. My bow was also a snap on to get the big poofed out effect.
If you need anything else in a super detail ask me specifically and I will help you the best I can ^^

hello there I am planning on cosplaying as belarus (I even got my friend to be russia) and to save money I plan on making my own costume. Could you tell me how you went about making this please?
π: 0 β©: 1
If you look through and read other comments I may have answered any question. Please please lemme know if you can't find any or have additional questions!
π: 0 β©: 0
about how much did it cost to make it? im on a tight budget but still want to be belarus for yumacon
π: 0 β©: 2
Not too much but I did go for suiting material and that was pricey. It does look better than cotton, though. If you have coupons you can save a killing at Joanns.

thanks! that helps a lot!

I hope so! I'm pretty terrible with helping since this costume was made like two years ago....

Great work & epic cosplay. Do you think you could give me a few pointers?
I've completed the costume and worn in to a few cons, but I'm wondering about the wig you're wearing. 1, where did you get it, 2 what's its' name? I like mine, but I'm looking around for different options as well.
π: 0 β©: 1
I got mine at a local store and it's 100% human hair.
Those can be pricey unless you catch them on a sale!
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I've seen those wigs around. I don't think it'd feel right to wear real human hair for a costume, though; that's just me. But thank you for responding! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Well actually real hair is SO AWESOME to work with, and people always thought that was my natural hair! It was pretty great xD

what kind of shoes would be best for belarus?
π: 0 β©: 1
I like mary janes. I eventually got some for this cosplay, but this is an old photo.

O.o....back away Russia!!! I'll hold her off while you run!
I'm about to start this costume. Any pointers?
π: 0 β©: 1
Make the sleeve puffs a separate piece from the tight part. Layer skirts, use a petti coat, and know that accuracy doesn't mean everything. My sash isn't 100% accurate but it looks nice still, no?

I take that as a compliment ;D

Such a nice cosplay β₯
I'm trying to decide if I want to go as Belarus to a convention in March / April, but I have no idea where to start D: What kind of pattern would you suggest using for the base? As in, is there a certain style of dress that it could be called? I was trying to google some patterns for dresses that look like it, but I had no idea what to search for haha~
π: 0 β©: 1
I used a pilgrim costume dress, but added the puffy sleeves on it and essentially eye balled the collar and what not. You're gonna have to improve a lot, but it's a good place to start!

Thanks for the input
I found a Alice in Wonderland costume pattern that I'm going to try and alter a little bit, so hopefully that'll work in the end c: I appreciate the help!

π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! Ummmm I used fabric, a few patterns, and a lot of guessing! xD
I have some more detailed explanations in the previous comments, feel free to ask anymore questions!
π: 0 β©: 0
I actually combined quite a few patterns and just sort of winged it ^^

You look like the Belarus from DFWHetaliaCosplay or Jelly Hetalia Productions.

That's because I was~ I no longer do Hetalia cosplay, but I am the Belarus in the Dirty Little Secrets video and few of the older ones.
