I took 7 to AB (fit in carry-on luggage, heh) although some were AU outfit variations of the same characters... That's probably the upper limit but it depends on how many panels/shoots I'm in.

I take a different costume for each day of the con. So I have different sized suitcases depending on how long the con is XD

normally no more then 2. we tend to carpool to cons so its usually more of a 'what can we wedge in here without crushing everyone on this 45min-2hr ride?' kinda thing.

I average about 5 costumes a convention. Sometimes more it depends on where I'm traveling or how big each costume is. ^_^

Usually just two anymore - one for Friday, one for Saturday. Sometimes I only bring one and wear it both days. I've worn a costume on Sunday a few times before, but prefer not to. I've also done the costume switching thing mid-day once and that was such a huge pain! It was necessary that day, but I won't do that again if I can help it, unless the costume I change into is a comfortable one I can change into quickly. It normally just takes too long to get into costume. I don't now how people ever wear 5+ costumes in one weekend.

Usually just two costumes. Sundays are rarely worth cosplaying since you have to pack up and get everything out of the hotel room. Most I've ever brought to a 3 day con was 3 cosplays and some things for the rave. Most of my costumes have a lot of stuff and I already get made fun of for my luggage, so I can't imagine bringing more.

Still debating how many I'm going to bring to Dragon *Con, since it is my first time going there.

Usually just one because I used to only go one day of a con. Now that I've decided to go full weekends, I'm planning for two or three. Part of that is because the cosplays I chose have overlaps in attire (namely, blue t-shirt, black pants and black shoes) so I don't have to carry as much in general and that I can change cosplays on the fly depending on the situation.
