Nan Desu Kan in Denver is my home convention, but I travel annually to Anime Central as well, close to where I grew up. To date, I have completed over 40 costumes, not including historical reenactment clothing, wedding and bridesmaid dresses (which I have sworn off), and commissions (including that stuff would make the list over 120, probably. It's really hard to tell at this point).
My style in cosplay and costuming tends to reflect more of the "simple and clean" (pun intended ^.~) lines of anime and manga (like my Sophie), although I have been branching out into more detailed and accessorized costumes as well (like my Rosa). I favor natural fabrics above all and consider myself an extremely frugal cosplayer (hey, you can buy dye-your-own silk for about $6 a yard, as opposed to twice that). It is not unusual for me to spend more on notions and accessories than fabric. ^^
I live minutes from all the exciting, creative, artsy places in Denver, and I absolutely love every bit of it. XD 2008 is my ten year anniversary in cosplay. That's so crazy.
