I'm cosplaying Meiko Shiraki from Prison School this year (the original manga colour scheme).

Pretty ecstatic as I found the the ideal blazer, spectacles and a skirt that was close enough to the colour palette of her original colour illustration. Only problem is that the spectacles were only available with a 1.00+ strength prescription in the lenses, but I need glasses anyway and I know that my eyes have gotten weaker and need their prescription updating so I might just stagger them with my current circle lenses and see how well it works out.

I haven't decided on a con yet but I'm thinking of hitting up Manchester MCM in July. If anybody on here is thinking of attending, let me know and maybe we can hang out!

Er, I'm not deluded so I'm going to say a loud, resounding no.

I don't think anybody outside of fetish models or porn stars possess those kind of measurements, and that's even with implants, but I think I have a stern enough face to match and am proportionally close enough otherwise I wouldn't dare consider it.

I haven't gone to a convention in a while but if I ever do I'd like to crossplay as Turkey.

Aside from the mask I don't think it'd be too difficult of an outfit to put together. I was thinking about doing it for Halloween (I can dress up at my job) but it'd definitely weird anyone out that's not familiar with Dorohedoro.

I've never cosplayed before but I'm thinking of going to a con with my bf. Idk what I could pull off. I'm 160 cm (around 5'2"-5'3") and 47 kg. My measurements are 35-25-32. I'm white and have blue eyes. Idk, I need help. I'm not fit enough (yet) to cosplay anything too sexy tbh, but I do waist train and get down to almost 20" in my corset, I'm skinnyfat though. I just don't really have much confidence to pull anything off I feel lol.

Cosplay suggestion template for anybody that's looking for suggestions.

Obviously it's not required that you include photos of yourself but you can if you want.

Kind of shocked to find we didn't have a cosplay general thread already.

Well first off, what do you like?
Do you read comics, manga, watch television shows, play games?
Are there any particular series you're interested in?

Anon ever since you've made this comment I've been worrying whether or not I'm deluding myself that I'm physically suitable for Meiko.

Sorry anon, you do you! Maybe I'm just slightly salty I can never pull her off. You still have time to get your body in shape for the con.

Th-thanks..
I almost cancelled my order for her jacket last night lel

It was like a scene from a show where words keep echoing in somebody's head whilst they're trying to sleep.

>are you actually that hot to cosplay Meiko anon

>hot enough… enough… enough…
>are you sure… are you sure…

Once I get my shit through the post I'll post a progress shot here.

Surprised at the seemingly few amount of cosplayers on lolcow, considering it is effectively a /cgl/ spin off.

I haven't gone to a con in years, but I'm always saving wigs/lenses/anime grill pics for cosplay ideas. I've become a little bit more confident since I started working out, which helps.

If I go to one this year, I'm thinking of going as Mine or Sawa from the otome game Amnesia. I'd also consider going as Bambi or Miyo from TMGS3, but Miyo might be a bit too smol for me…

Just do an insane amount of boob padding and contouring and it'll all work out great

I'm kind of conflicted about the boob issue because I'm already a 34E cup and in the earlier Prison School issues Meiko's bust was within a normal range.

So I wore my half-assed cosplay to a con the other day and people actually really liked it. I'm trying to make it "convention ready" for the next thing and it'll be my first time making shoulder armour in like… four years.

I'm terrified.
