It's October 1st; come all to the Halloween Thread. Are you ready for Halloween?

Welcome Newbies, this is your thread to ask questions concerning your costume.

i have fragile auburn hair, but i want black hair with red ends for a costume. is there a way to dye without hurting my hair, or am I better off finding a wig?

[Anonymous No.10265975]

I'm trying to make the mask and cape from pic related from scratch but don't have a sewing machine or know how to use one. Would hand sewing be ok or should I take it somewhere?

[Anonymous No.10266108]

>>10265966
A wig would look best but if you really don't want to and don't care about looking exact you could use colored hair wax or something like overtone which is like color depositing hair conditioner stuff. I've never used either but I've heard good things about both. The hair wax is temporary and the overtone takes a few washes to get out.

[Anonymous No.10266215]

>>10265975
Hand sewing would be fine, but will take a long time to do. Consider using hem tape and an iron. You just sandwich the tape between the fabric and iron it down. The tape melts and creates a strong bond that can be washed and worn countless times. Super easy. You could do it in 15-20 minutes

Depends on what the cosplay is of. Typically I try to go for recognizable ones on Halloween and save the obscure stuff for cons. But, if it can be identified as a genre thing like "pirate" or "space cop" then you should be fine either way

Ok yeah but how do you anchor it to a wig?
I'm concerned about that anchor point giving out

[Anonymous No.10268551]

>>10268536
Easy mode: sew thread or ribbon loops to the middle of the bow, and to the corners of the bow ends. Bobby pin to the wig. Criss-cross your bobby pins so they don't slip.
Average mode: sew the bow right onto the wig. You can always clip the threads and remove the bow later.
Pro mode: pick up alligator or comb clips from a wig or hair product supplier. Sew or glue the clips to the bow along the bottom edge.

Pair these attachment methods with a fabric stiffening method for best results.

The samurai had many layers:
Juban- white under clothes
Kimono- do I need to explain?
Belt- obi: literally a length of fabric specific to your waist measurement to tie your kimono closed.
Hakama- depending on use it’s either a full pleat “skirt” for court or pants for riding.
Kataginu- exaggerated shoulder overwear
These are all part of the courtiers outfit known as a kamishimo.
Shoes- Geta
Socks- tabi
Do not forget that there are multiple swords and that your hakama are tied a certain way, your kimono folds a certain way, and have a good time. Hopefully this finds you in time for you to look up and acquire all you need.

Just here to comfy post about all the things I’m looking forward to for my favorite season.

I did a light parade earlier in the season, so I get to rewear the sparkly dress I made for that again later this month to a pub crawl. I don’t usually get to wear stuff twice so yay. I’m also going to two gothy events. One I think is more like a bar/club/costume party affair so I’m making a robe a la francaise (Marie Antoinette style) black gown for that, and I’ll wear a raven skull mask. I’ve also got a quick lolita event the day of Halloween. Just shopping and drinks with friends but I’m excited for that too! And last thing, I got invited to a spooky graveyard tour the weekend right after which is supposed to be Victorian era, so I’ll be making an 1880’s bustle dress for that. I’m torn between going for all black and going for cozy fall colors like burnt orange.

Thank you for listening to me ramble. I love Halloween season.

The tag says 100% polyester and I'm wondering if I'm able to somehow paint the inside brown also. Also tips on weathering is greatly appreciated.

Fabric paint or any paint with a fabric medium. I'm not an expert at weathering, but I've seen someone put stablizer under the edges of their cape, then tear it up, lightly burn the edges, and blackwash the ends. Not sure if that's the effect you're going for, but it looked good on their cape.

I could use some help figuring out what to use to nail down parts of my Saltzpyre costume.

I'll be making the capotain from scratch, I'm thinking of just finding a witch hat and cutting bits off, then sticking a candle and some purity seals. Shouldn't be too hard.

The jacket is another story. I'm not sure where to look or what exactly there is which has the same style. It's like a trench coat but more slim-fitting than most - almost like a woman's coat. In fact that's what I've been looking for so far. Couldn't find the exact style so far, though. The mantle will be tricky to find, especially in the same color as the coat if it's separate. The belts are simple enough.

The gun and rapier should be no problem, though I don't know where to find a flintlock replica. I'm not too picky about the weapons.

The Gloves and boots likewise shouldn't be too big a problem for me, either. That goes for the pants and undershirt as well.

Help me out, lads. I could really use a bit of advice. I don't want to turn to /fa/ on this one since I fear they're going to be intent on killing me financially.

Don't focus on getting an exact replica because you're not going to find it. I'd suggest visiting your local thrift store and altering what you can find. Fitting something loose like a trenchcoat is super easy, but a woman's coat isn't a bad place to start either.

Best of luck. If you'd like an alternative to the bike chain, Halloween stores are selling plenty of them right now. You could just sand or scrape the edges if they have the fill line then paint the chain saw and chain in similar chrome before blackwashing. I hope it works out for you though!

Stand collar. Jacket with stand collar.

As for buying the full set vs buying it piecemeal. You probably want to check first how much time you have and whether everything will arrive in time for Halloween (or whatever you want to wear it to).

Second, realise that you're spending time and money on this for practically no reason at all. So, if you find it enjoyable to hunt down the costume pieces, then hunt them down seperately, not because it's a "good" choice (there aren't any "good" choices, they all waste time and money), but because it's fun and you enjoy it. If you find no joy in that, then why bother? Outsource it to the costume-maker and just buy the full set in that case.

Last, realise that most costume-makers cut corners. Most of them fit a little wonky, jackets aren't really jackets (they're usually constructed like shirts rather than an actual jacket), and some details might not be what you think they should be. If this is something that really bothers you, then never order a full costume, make it yourself.

In general, most of this costume looks like it would need to be custom made (ie. commissioned). You might be able to score a few pieces like the scarf/cape, sword, and ninja wear from Halloween stores, but the armor, snakeskin bolero, and cyclops-esque helmet, and boots would need to be custom made. Are you willing to craft them or were you hoping to buy premade?

idk where to post this, but this is my first time working with black eva foam, i standed it with a dremel and heat it up slightly, but when i went to plasti dip it, it just looks rough? and i still see some holes. Is this because I didn't heat seal it enough? i know i use like 4 coats of plasti dip so it's not the primer.

if you cover it with a few more layers it should go away, just make sure you let them completely dry.

I don't use a dremel, I just sand it by hand and I find that if I don't finish by wet sanding with an extra fine sandpaper, I get a rough texture. Also, if you're working with floormats or the like, those holes might just be the minor imperfections you get with lower quality material.

[Anonymous No.10276281]

>>10276277
It could be, but you'll still need to set the pencil with a powder. I've never done it myself, but you might be able to use translucent powder or baby powder instead of eyeshadow. A clear brow gel might work. I like to layer it over the shadow, but I don't see why you couldn't get the same result with just the pencil and gel. Also, the color of the pencil should be able to match your wig, it's pretty opaque.

Talk to your local tailor(s) and see if they're booked or not. Even if you need your costume this Friday, you could take it in tomorrow and get it done if they're not busy. It won't be that expensive, but depending on the adjustments, expect at least $20.

>After some careful measuring, we carved a busk out of styrofoam, coated it with Bondo, then vacuum-formed the outer shell. We reinforced the shell by slushing around a bit of quick-curing resin. [For the screen in front], we laser cut a frame out of MDF.

84% of that makes sense, but how in the hell did they carve this busk out of styrofoam? Do people secretly work with head-sized blocks of styrofoam from the dark web, or am I missing something? Also, there's a bottom half not seen in this pic.

I've tried using EVA foam but it feels like it's gonna be too thick to fit in all the parts + my head. Naturally, I'd rather not go through the rest of the steps if I'm right about that.

Nice choice. Taako is a great character to choose for a beginner because there's so much freedom in interpreting how you would like to bring him to life. The first step is to gather inspiration. Look at Taako cosplay, wizard cosplays, larps, movies, d&d characters, etc. Just put a whole mood board of inspirations together either digitally or physically and start analyzing why you like each piece. Take note of color schemes, outfit silhouettes (ie. flowly pieces vs. structured pieces like the cosplay's kimono/robe vs. the tight fitted pants), and accessories. Draw or make collages of different outfit combinations that you like and see which one speaks to you. Try to come up with at least two or three. Then, separate what you can make or buy. Items like the ears, wig, bracer, and wizard hat for example. Set those aside and start searching through stores (thrift stores would be great for this project). You can see in the pic related that the cosplayer unified the outfit by matching the hat's accent to the robe. Very stylish. After you've knocked out your purchasable pieces, start listing the tools and materials to make the non-purchasable ones. You can commission the wizard hat or make your own. Kinpatsu cosplay has this great wizard hat tutorial out right now that has a lot of variations to it, but there's also plenty of free resources online too.

Best of luck. Do that fancy boi justice.

I'm on my second or third listen through (just finished rockport) but have never heard anyone reference it irl, is this podcast just a lot more popular than I thought?
Also good luck!


Unrelated note addressed to the thread, my gf has a sewing machine and I have a closeby hobby lobby/michaels/Joann's and 2 days to work on it. With little experience (just helping her make pillows and such) how possible would it be to make a passable gandalf robe/hat/belt? Would materials be cheaper than buying the costume?

> how possible would it be to make a passable gandalf robe/hat/belt?
If you completely clear your schedule and work morning till late night, yeah.


>Would materials be cheaper than buying the costume?
Hm, hard to say. I'd suggest looking for Gandalf costumes online and then comparing its contents to the total $$ of materials you'll need. Remember that you don't have to completely make everything on your own nor wear every part of a pre-purchased costume. If you like a premade hat, but not the robe, wear it. If you can purchase a base hat to build upon, it'll save you a lot of time and some money. It's really up to your preference, skill, time, and budget. For the robe, you can use bedsheets (like wool or something). If they're not the right color, you can dye them. It'll be wayyyy cheaper than purchasing the fabric. The belt is an easy thrift.

>Also any tips for TEMPORARILY making my hair grey?

spend the next few days getting your laugh, speech, and body language to be a PERFECT copy.

Don't ignore the small details of the costume. Notice the eyebrows are completely covered by the makeup, and fake ones are drawn above them. Notice that the suit is a little big in the shoulders, and a little long, but the sleeves fit right, and the pants and vest fit perfectly. Notice that the shirt he's wearing under the vest is a casual, thicker, and not shiny material, get the colors right. Get a pair of shoes that matches his, don't just wear whatever you already have that's similar.

You could get a prop cigarette too, I'm pretty sure those exist.

I don't remember what color his socks were, but find out and match it.

Most of these probably seem like things people won't notice, but it all adds up, and they make the difference between a low-effort Halloween costume, and something that impresses. Any small inconsistency can break the immersion and ruin the illusion.

And for gods sake, figure out how to do good makeup, and don't skimp on it. If you're looking all cracked up and flaky half way through the night, then all the other work will have been pointless.

Does anyone have some photos of black and/or red spooky make up that isn’t super over the top? Something that would go with edgy jfashion outfit?

The form is fine but it really needs a good paintjob to not look like a shitty plastic toy.

Heres an example on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOsLV-NixAs

I'm trying to figure out the order of primer/ paint for a foam tiara and hammer. Thinking about doing Elmer's glue, white acrylic, metallic acrylic, and Modge Podge to finish. The tiara's made of regular craft foam, so I'm worried about cracking when it bends.

Why not just use that car spray primer that is usually used to prime and seal foam? I forgot the name of it, but it's served me pretty well

I want to wear a Dorohedoro shirt to work tomorrow (we can dress down) but I was wondering if I should wear a button down to cover the back because one of the characters looks like this. Is his design too reminiscent of the KKK?

[Anonymous No.10280733]

>>10280726
I think you would be fine but there's nothing wrong with hiding the back just in case, keeping the peace is valuable in a work environment.

[Anonymous No.10280825]

>>10280726
It might be best to cover it up because someone might get the wrong idea and get mad. Cool design though.

Got a halloween/ dress up thing going on in my college classes this friday. Don't want to put too much effort into the whole deal so I was considering doing an Arnold Rimmer cosplay from Red Dwarf. Wondering what I need to search for to cop the uniform he's wearing, looks like it would have a real life workman analogue- will probably just cut into some foam or card to make the H symbol. I'm uk based if that makes any difference

[Anonymous No.10280908]

>>10280906
also, barring that, I would love to know what kind of jacket he's wearing here. Don't think I will be able to find something this specific in my local shops but if I can find something close enough I might go with this option

[Anonymous No.10280937]

>>10280906
lol I cosplay as rimmer but you can get the whole uniform from uk military surplus and many people sell the embroidered patches. I ended up sewing the square tie so I could colormatch.

Handed out 204 candy bars tonight, use the full-size so I can count.

Can only confirm one cosplayer, girl dressed as the White Blood Cell from Cells at Work, was surprised I knew the character.

Wow. This year's thread was very quiet.

[Anonymous No.10281591]

This is my first piece of costume leatherwork I've every done. Until now all I've done is small goods like wallets and holsters.

I was inspired by Darkest Dungeon which was the first game which portrayed Plague Doctors as an offensive unit. So I thought "What would a Plague Doctor look like with modern combat gear.

Here's a question though, what's a better way to black out the eye holes? I didn't get this build done until about an hour before trick or treaters showed up so all I thought to do was sew in a patch made from my girls old leggings. I stretched them out so I could see through but the visibility was really poor.

I finished my Kaonashi costume just in time for halloween at work. Almost noone knew who it was, one girl called me no name which was close enough, but it was alright since they still loved it. Great reactions all around.

Made 3 kids cry total between 8am to 8pm. Not what i intended but i can see why it would be a tad spooky.
