When it comes to planning a great
costume, the devil is often in the details.
While picking out the body of the costume
itself might be easy, finding the “just-right” costume accessories that you’ll
need to complete the can often turn out to be a daunting task.
Accessories like wigs, jewelry, faux weaponry, gloves,
tights, stocks, glasses, masks, make-up and even shoes are often absolutely
necessary for completing a look.
Although this is quite a list, it’s important that you don’t forgo the
“little things.”
While the devil may be indeed in the details you should
remember that the fun and rewarding outcome is often in the details as
well!
Whether you’re entering a serious
cosplay competition or just dressing up for a yearly office
costume party, you’ll be glad you put in the extra
effort.
Proper planning with ample time to spare is a great place to
start. Just a little bit of a research
and a bit of notice goes a long way when it comes to preventing the stress that
comes along with last minute shopping.
First find some photos or movie stills that show your
character from multiple angles and examine each carefully head to toe while
making a list of what you see. Your next
step will be to go shopping and to check off each item on your list as you go.
