This is Qi En. Today, 31st Jan, quite a lot of us went for this cosplay stuff at Singapore Discovery Center, right  How many remembered my comment that my sis actually wanted to cosplay Len (from Melty)? Well, She REALLY is not joking about it and she would want to know more on how to get a costume, where to wear it, when to go for a cosplay, etc. First and formost, the costume. My sis is 11 this year, around 139cm tall, so she would roughly fit (although the real Len is smaller, but she will definitely own any adults/ teenagers who can't cosplay lolis). But price, and 'how to get it' is the major problem here. Help no. 1### needed. Secondly, we can't possibly catch a stray black cat with pokeballs. So do we have a black pet cat/ kitten, alternatively a plushie, to spare, or should the costume itself be adequate already? Help no. 2###. Thirdly, do we get a wig or paint spray or both? My sis thinks her hair's albit too short (slightly over her shoulder, compared to Len's waist length.), so we have to see first. Also, this would be a problem to our budget too. Help no. 3### Finally, We have at most $40 for budget, allowed by our parents, so we might need sponsoring (XD) Help no. 4### P.S. Disclaimer: Sis has only seen before Len from the game Melty Blood, so do NOT... NOT... give her anymore unwanted info. |

To further help you, I require pictures of your sister. The more the better.

So we can't tell her about exchanging vitality in Kagetsu Tohya? Awwwww... xD
I doubt $40 can get you a good black goth-loli dress though, and that's the basic requirement. Everything else can usually be borrowed or something of the sort. (And get a wig, unless you want dye, hairspray generally can't give the vivid blue you want.)
Also, Neco Arc doll > Black cat.

Are you sure you want to let your sister cosplay as a succubus without her knowing what she's cosplaying as?
Unless you want to be following her around and beating off perverts with cameras who want to take pictures of her to fap to, you might want to think about introducing her to some other more innocent character.
We're no strangers to lolis
You know the girls and so do I
A full costume play's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other xiao mei mei
I just wanna dress as a goth loli
Gotta make you embarrassed
Never gonna-CUT

No.
Well I can't see the image anymore for some reason. Dunno if it's the forum or my comp.
She just happens to be my favorite character in the game I'm playing right now. Almost to the point of worship. And that is one of the costumes she gets to wear, besides school uniform, swimsuit, maid, gym uniform, goth dress, etc. I forget the rest.
But it's her personality that dazzles me.

Oh right, I forget how deprived most of you are. >_> Where I am, having 3-4 game consoles (PC not included) is about average.
Anyway, back on topic (because someone has to), I don't think 40 bucks is enough for getting everything. Either choose an easier character, or make your own clothes. You might have to resort to either taking old clothes apart, or sewing on top of them, if you don't know anyone who can make clothes.

Dude, save.
I already gave you an estimated cost of over $200.
Your parents' budget may be $40, but use your own money since it's your own project.
You think Ries got a KKnM card with his parent's support? Or I got a DSLR on parent funding? Puh-leeze. :V
At the most people might lend, but you'll have to pay them back. Maybe they'll give you like 10-20, but not the amount you need, that can only be borrowed.
Wig. Hairspray won't give you that shade. $70+.
Costume alone is expensive enough.
RED CONTACTS. D: Softlens. $70+.

Meanwhile, heres the info I got:
$150 - Dress. Saving up already, no problem. (inclusive of accessories and footwear?)
($70) - Wig. currently looking for pple to borrow from. -_-
$70 - Soft Lens for eye color. I'll see what i can do.
Bodyguard - me/ Kai-san/ Jiunn XD
etc: not sure, post on.
mum says if budget too heavy, she can sponsor more than $40, but a lot will be from our own savings too. But if budget exceeds $300, this plan will be aborted, so it is really essential for me (and sis) to know more.
