cardcaptor sakura authenticity

jalynissuper! · 02-07-2011, 01:22 PM

so i have a slight problem.

i am making this dress for my sakura cosplay.

its one of her first dresses earlier in the anime and she had the staff at this time (bird looking wand)

but i was wondering if i could use her star wand instead.

would some hardcore cardcaptor fans come down on me for mixing and matching?
i have no problem making the other i just like her star wand better.

If I saw it in a photo, I'd think it's a little strange, but if you want to, why not.

I don't think you'd have any problem with it. It's a pretty old anime and most wouldn't realize that they don't fit anyway. Plus, the star wand 'does' look better imo. lol

I would notice that the staff and dress don't "match" and maybe wonder why you chose the one you did but I wouldn't mind. It wouldn't change my opinion on the costume at all.

At the end of the day, it's your cosplay, you can do what you want with it. Such a small change wouldn't make much of a difference. It's just a wand after all.
Take Sailor Moon for example, I see people cosplaying say Eternal Sailor Moon and carries the Spiral Heart Rod (seen this exact mismatch before). But it doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure hundreds of cosplayers have mixed and match between different things for a set character.

honestly, being a cardcaptor fan, it would bug me, because sakura has a certain wand at a certain time peroid.

however, i did have her old wand with the 2nd movie dress. but that was just to make me realize who I was

I'm a ccs fan, so I'd notice and wonder why, but it wouldn't really bug me. It's your costume after all. (;

As a CCS fan, it would bother me. It's your cosplay, so in the end you have to do what you want to do, but I think you should stick to the original. Besides~ the bird wand is so much cuter. :3

It's been such a long time since I've since CCS that I wouldn't notice. I know Sakura used that wand at one point or another, so it would be fine to me.
