Description I had the realization last night I could use my own hair for Korra and could do it so much better than with a wig. AND it's more comfortable. I find ponytail wigs the most annoying thing ever. So yeah, did a quick test tonight and it came out pretty well!

It doesn’t look like it in the photo, but my face is actually A LOT darker than my actual skin tone. Thank you stupid crappy apartment lighting for washing everything out orz;;

I can’t wait to wear this during Otakon :3

That's okay! There's absolutely nothing wrong with having to get a wig

Im going to be excited if this comes out good... this will be my first time cosplaying! I just need to find someone to commission for a good outfit or a website that releases her outfit... wish I could sew

sorairo-days In reply to ItachiLover11 [2012-06-11 00:06:15 +0000 UTC]

Aww yeah, I know that feel. Actually, I've been buying a lot of her pieces of the outfit online and then modifying them by hand. I just recently moved so I don't have access to a sewing machine anymore But so far everything has been working, so I recommend on trying that approach if you can't find anyone to commission it!
