*Information for your sister
Tell her to stick to a group if she's doing a popular cosplay or just to stick to a group period and be aware. Or be with at least one other person. Take a convention as if you were anyplace else on the streets, since it's for the public.
Also tell her to ask nicely if she wants pictures and be polite. Make sure she follows the rules in the booklet, hangs onto her badge and purse/cash someplace safe, don't ever put down her purse on an alley table or a dealer table even for a second, and make sure you drink lots of water/take breaks/eat right. Don't live on pocky.
If she's staying in a hotel room with you or friends, make sure she sleeps and doesn't party or goof off all night.
*Information for you
Try Ebay, Cosplay1 (which has mixed reviews; I didn't have issues outside of shipping, that you must do FedEx to avoid problems if you live in the USA, but Cactusmama didn't enjoy them so much,) or go to cosplay.com and look at commissions there. Tell them your price range and what you want BEFORE they start work and before you send the money.
