Well, I already mentioned my very first cosplay experience which was Tifa. I premiered that costume at Kumoricon way back in 2003. That was my very first convention and I was hooked ever since. I haven't been able to go to very man cons (3 different ones currently) but I've been going to them every year since 2003. I hope to continue exploring more cons around the U.S. and make friends at every one I go to!
My mom used to make costumes for me when I was younger every Halloween and I loved it. I was totally one of those kids that started planning my next Halloween costume November 1st, haha. I knew how to sew because my mom taught me, but I didn't know any cool ways to apply it until I discovered Cosplay! It was a joyous event learning that I could make costumes out of the anime/manga/video game characters I loved so much, and that there were whole conventions for them! So yeah!
I've tried my hand at prop-making and wig styling, neither of which I'm very good at! I try my hardest with every costume though, and the most labor-intensive one so far is Roxas. I've done the coat 4 times (And I plan on re-making it at least once more x.x), the shirt 2 times, (though I did the coat before the shirt, so that gave me experience on knowing how to do it right), the bracelet 3 times, and the pants 2 times. Not to mention all the extra details and time I've put in... So yeah!
