What was your first cosplay?

Well, it was sort of a kimono version of Princess Zelda. At the same time, I was working on Tenten from Naruto. Honestly, I consider Queen Nehelenia to be my first PLANNED cosplay, but technically it's my second.

Continuation of fabric descriptions and uses!

I hope everyone is having a good time, whether you celebrate the day of love or not. Valentine's is about being closer to the ones you love. That can be your significant other or your best of friends and family. I asked for pictures of costumers for Valentine's and here they are.

Anna and Elsa: Chocolate! Here we have BrookeLynn Sanders and Stephanie Stork as Anna and Elsa from Frozen!

Please enjoy part one of her advice on fabrics and their uses!
