I have a butt sash.
I still need people to pay me back my money so I can get cloth and make my white hakama xD;

[koga-kun]

its not really a butt sash because it doesn't go in the back.

Disco Dipp will be ready to party soon!

[Shei Valentine]

Hina, the Blademistress (Freelance Vampire/Original geisha outfit) - 100% - It was my Halloween costume that I wore at Youmacon.

Rally Vincent (Gunsmith Cats) - 99% - I'm looking to replace the blouse and to find a new shoulder holster.

Hinata Hyuuga (Naruto, pre-timeskip) - 80% - This is the only costume I'm having commissioned. I just need the funds for it, and fix up the wig.

Rushuna Tendou (Grenadier) - 30% (give or take) - I've got the hat, underwear and the top done. I still need to sew the jacket, gloves, and boot covers; dye the back pouch; buy the wig/style it; and find out how my gun and hip holster is coming along from my prop guy.

Summoner Yuna (Final Fantasy X) - 20% - This is gonna be the death of me. I'm hand embroidering all the details on the obi, bow, and skirt. Other than that, I have nothing done, lol

[Wolfpax82]

Hmm lets see these are the ones I need to finish and such, Mind you most of these are group outfits so Im going to have to change quite a bit

Tuxedo Mask 95%: Reattach Cape to new Tuxedo Jacket, Roses both red and white (Have to wait until the day before the con to buy real ones!)

Albert Wesker RE4/Umbrella Chronicals 90%: Need to order shoulder Holster and Bleach Hair

Albert Wesker STARS 50%: Need to order Tactical Vest and Bleach Hair

Bean Bandit 95%: Style appropriate wig, and make head band, buy rubber knives.

Shigure Sohma 0%: Need it all Costume (commissioned costume, I dont have the patience or time to make), Sandals, Wig

Alucard (Hellsing) 75%: Need gloves, glasses, Fangs, wig, and adding to the coat

Chad (Bleach) 99.9%: Maintenance needed

Watari (Deathnote) 100%!!!!!: All done, finished, dont need to worry about

Captain N 100%: Done, just adding stuff at this point thats not major importance like trigger guard on Zapper.

Phoenix Wright 95%: Remake OBJECTION! sign of lightweight material just in case IRT forbids the old version, make glowing/neon green Magnatama


Im so glad I got time to finish the rest of stuff, most of its just accessories and I'm buying them slowly

[PepeluTivursky]

I haven't touched a one of mine. However, I do have all of the fabric for Maya Fey (outer coat, inner yukata, obi) and the bits and pieces to make her necklace and beads save for sealer.
For Mai, I ordered her white cardigan jacket a few weeks ago and I'm stealing the skirt from my Jigoku Shoujo outfit. So all I need is to find a long sleeved v-neck to attach a sailor collar to and make the collar/tie. I still need ribbon/heat n' bond for that though.
Mai's plainclothes is as easy as buying myself some cargo crops and an appropriate Mai-ish shirt :3

[Aya]

Tifa Lockheart Advent Children- It's finshed, the costume is very heavy though since it's made out of pleather. I just need to a pinkish ribbion then I'll be finished with it. And instead of boots I'm thinking about buying black converse since it'll be soo much easier than wearing boots all over the place.

[Kuroi Yokan]

Fay D. Flourite - This is a huge project! I was supposed to have this all done for OhayoCon in January, but I just ran out of time. I only got the base outfit completed, although I also got most of the blue coat done as well. I just need to put the details on the blue coat and make the belt. The white coat has a long way yet - I have the body of it together, but the sleeves need to be re-attached and modified a bit. Then I can attach the hod and put on all that fur trim! Lastly, my staff is about 80% done. I need to attach my detail layers, then paint everything that needs to be painted still. After that, I insert the jewels and attach the crystal, but my strings got streched out! I don't know how to fix this, so I'm in a bit of a slump. Overall, I'd say this costume is about 60% done.

Kurogane - I'm making this for my boyfriend, and this was also supposed to be done for OhayoCon! This outfit is mostly done, except for the arm guards. It's just that a lot of it needs to be fixed. The boots need to be repainted, the cloak needs to be resized, one of the belts looks like it needs to redone competely -- ahh! So much. T_T Not even to mention his sword! I'd say it's at about 70%

Honey-sempai - New project, 0%

Mori-sempai - 0%

[chibi ninja]

I'm going to be Ichigo from Bleach. I just bought pretty much everything I need to make my cosplay. Now I'm sitting on the couch looking at a GIANT piece of foam trying to figure out how to turn it into a giant sword.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a strong sword strap like Ichigo's red one?

[Sexy Kankurou]

Kusuriuri: 1% done. I bought the fake nails. I know how I'm going to make everything and where to get it from, but I just haven't done it yet...

All the others are trucking along nicely, but does anyone know a good place to get elf-ish pointy ears? I figure it won't hurt to take recommendations here. ^-^

[stalking_sorrow]

Well so far most of my stuff is complete...sorta...

Hinata Hyuga-NarutoI have pre-teen Hinata complete. But Shippuden Hinata didn't work out so well. I won't have her jacket because school is taking up most of my time. I plan to wear black sandals, black short pants, black tank top, and a fishnet shirt. So I will be Hinata just without her jacket^^ I also need to sew her leg wrap and put velcro straps on it

Hisagi Shuuhei-BleachThe costume is complete, I just need to get some tabi socks, make the arm and neck bands, and figure out how to do the scars on his face.


Original J-RockThis is complete with a few minor things to do. I have to sew buttons back on the shirt, buy hair dye and dye the wig im going to use. I have to cut and style that wig. I have to paint the drum sticks red and buy the rest of the makeup I need.

Kisaki-PhantasmagoriaI am having this one comissioned because I don't have time to try and make it. My skills at sewing are not great so I can only do simple stuff. And this costume is NOT simple at all. So I just need to make monthly payments and have my final payment in before April 20.

[Raiji Magiwind]

Well I got about 85% of the Adult Nel Tu and the Child Nel Tu costumes finished and am just starting on dealing with masks for her different forms. Only have about 10-15% of the Espada Nel Tu done...but am hoping to finish it in time...if not then Child Nel will become my main piece for ACEN (and the terror of all Ichigos XD...), with the plans to do the Adult Nel here and there...though I may also look into working the design together where I will have the Adult Nel on under the Child Nel, so I can pull off the Child Nel at random and 'transform' so tot speak into adult Nel, and then just change the mask on my head....So I might see about putting a zipper or something to the back or as part of a seam line along teh side so I can just sort of unzip it and let it fall and have the adult Nel underneath...

-goes back to working on Nel and my two 'secret projects'-

[Ichihana]

T.T I had to redo my Soi Fong cosplay and I need help U.U with how to make her Suzumebachi pointy shank thing also her shirt. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[excel excel]

I havent even got started on my Nico Robin cosplay yet. I just gotta lost 5 more pounds if im gonna do her Miss All Sunday wear lol!

[KnitChick]

Well I made some progress today! I bought some black broadcloth, hopefully enough for the kimono part of my shinigami costume. Still gotta figure out how to do the hakama (ugh....I hate pleats....)

Went and took a walk through Dick's Sporting Goods tonight and saw lots of pretty paintball pistols...nothing that looks remotely close to what I need for Captain Jack Harkness, argh! Why couldn't he fancy a modern-day Magnum? Is that too much to ask!?

[Gabichox]

everything is all in the planning stages XD
im planning to do a Sexy Pooh-san, Winter Wonderful Hearts 2006 Aibon and Leena cosplay

im probably going to start the Leena cosplay first since that'd be the hardest XD

[Kitsu-chan]

I've been rather cheap & commision my cosplays. I still need to make a necklace for my Robin & Haji's cello case for my girlfriend though.

[TheMagicWithin]

Kaoru (Ouran high school host club) 90% complete. I need to buy a white shirt and get appropriate dress shoes still. I'm also STILL waiting for the Ouran patch to come in the mail. I still need to add the pockets (oh joy. I'm considering just making pocket flaps and not actual pockets), and that's it.

Rikku (FFX): Hehe...5%, if even. I'm having a tough time with this. The costume itself isn't complicated, but she has so many accessories that I'm having difficulties with. I have one of her gloves done, and all the material I'm going to need, as well as the feathers and possibly one of her...um bags I suppose. That's really all so far. Ugh.

In other news I already have plans for next year haha. One is 'ehhhh maybe' but the other I'm sure of, but I'm not going to finish it in time for Acen. So I'll save it for acen 2009 haha

[Lucy]

All of my costumes are in the early stages of completion, though the Lucy one will be remarkably easy once I dye the wig.

Bandaged Lucy (Elfen Lied): 10% I still need to get the base clothing to attach the bandages to, and the wig. The horns will be my next project, probably completed while I wait for the wig to ship. I have bought some awesome strapless sandals for the costume, too, since barefootedness is not allowed. =D I don't think I'll buy the red contacts this year...I'm kind of on a budget and have 2 other costumes to make.

Miyuki Takara (Lucky Star): 0% I haven't started this one. The most expensive part will be the wig, the costume itself doesn't look to difficult. And my sister is good at making pleated skirts, so this costume should be kind of a quick project, once I start it.

Zelda (TP/SSBB): 5% I've ordered gloves and looked up the tutorials necessary to make the shoulder-armor. This costume will be my biggest headache, as I've never tried to make armor before and this could be a total disaster. The dress shouldn't be too hard, its all sewing and stenciling for the most part. But the armor and jewelry will take a while.

[DaphHime]

Oh, didn't see this thread.

Sa-chan (Gintama): 20% I got most of the materials I need. All I need really is the wig, a fishnet shirt, boots, and black spandexy shorts. Probably going to get started on the jacket and the sash this week.

Mikuru- school uniform (The Melancholy of Haurhi Suzumiya): 5% Got the fabric for the skirt and the pattern for it is on it's way. I'm doubting I'll have this done in time but might as well do what I can and see what comes up.

Mako (Nerima Daikon Brothers): 80% I left my skirt and shirt for this costume in Ohio! >_< I got an even better shirt though so that worked out. I just need a jacket (the one I have is too tight), skirt, tie and stockings.

Orihime- school uniform (Bleach) 90% Just need to finish that skirt. It's halfway done anyway.

I figure I'd reply here because I'll likely forget to tell you tomorrow. >_> I have some elfish ears that I bought from Ren Fest a couple years ago that you can borrow if you'd like. You'd have to put some makeup on them to blend them to match the skin tone you want, but they're good quality stuff. I wore them for Halloween once, and a couple of girls came up and stared for a couple minutes because they thought they were real. Let me know.

[navigated]

I haven't even STARTED Viral yet. I should get my butt in gear on that. He's really not all that much work, jacket isn't a problem at all for me, however I'm going to have to harass Sexy_Kankurou to help me with the pants because I'm pretty "LOL WHUT" when it comes to pants that aren't huge and baggy.

And I've got actually more of Nice finished than I have pictures of, but I'm too lazy to get up and take said pictures. The pink hair I don't think helps anyone visualize what the crap I'm supposed to be doing here, but whatever: http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1405481/
I just need to dig out my black pants and sew up the sleeves of her shirt, and make a few bombs and TA-DA. Done.

[bunnybeth]

I've actually started stuff already, go me.

Ahiru as Sleeping Beauty (Princess Tutu) - 10% I say this because though all I've done is gather materials, it should be somewhat easy as it's mostly piecemeal cosplay. Now to decide if my son's matching costume will be Neko-sensei or pantless Mytho...

Alice (Odin Sphere) - 20% Most of the materials gathered, bloomers sewn, and giant book in-progress.

[Hakuryu]

Astharoshe Asran (Trinity Blood) Uh...about 5% complete. xD I really need to work on this one! x-X I have the armor cut out and painted, I need to seal it and add gold bordering to it. Most of the costume is done in prototype only right now. I can't figure out how to do the hat and it is driving me insane...

Esther Blanchett (Trinity Blood; AX) 95% complete. Yay. I just need to paint the back armor, make the gun holster, and make a petticoat for underneath the skirt.

Sleepytime/Pajama Esther (Trinity Blood) 0% completed, still undecided if I'm going to go through with this one this year.

[Manga sister]

Haruhi Suzumiya:
I'd say about 75 % complete, all I need to do is sew the collar and skirt not to mention making the belt that goes with the skirt. pretty easy though.

Yuki (Vampire Knight):
0 %.......lol I might as well try to find it on ebay or something.

[bondkira]

I just bought a pattern for Grimmjow's pants and jacket!!
This weeked is gonna be my cosplay weekend

[alucard_666]
