Wear a skirt and a shirt, maybe put a little bit of make-up on and doing your hair. You can pull off a lolita. I did it and I got plenty of pictures when that happened to me.

Maybe you can cosplay as Misa from Death Note.

hedgehog92 · 01-03-2010, 01:01 PM

If you have any all white clothing, go as Near from Death Note: loose long sleeve white shirt, white pants, fluff your blonde hair up...

as far as others... I'm thinkin on it...

You don't have to cosplay to enjoy the convention. Personally I would think it's not worth stressing out over. Just wear your regular clothes and have a good time - then after the convention, start on the cosplay you planned to have for next time so you have enough time to finish it and do it well.

Alternatively, sometimes vendors in the dealers' room sell premade costumes. The selection is usually limited, but if you're desperate to cosplay you might find something there.

You can always try going to a con without a cosplay.

See what happens.

nicks_sis86 · 01-03-2010, 02:03 PM

Thanks for all the comments :3 i think i can probably try misa or near ish a big fan of death not <3 and those of you who said you dont have to cosplay at conventions your right i probably shouldnt stress over it and i greatly appriciate your comments

ChibiTenshi · 01-03-2010, 02:33 PM

Cosworx ships pretty fast. I live in Puerto Rico, and their wigs arrive in 5-8 business days.

ok thanks!

If you don't have a costume and you can't get one fast, don't worry about it. Obviously there isn't a character that you really really want to cosplay in particular, so just go enjoy the convention in your normal clothes. If you want just do a simple lolita or Misa if you can get a wig quickly. There isn't really a point in shoving on a costume you didn't really put effort into and aren't really enthusiastic about just for the sake of being in a costume. But really there's nothing to worry about. Cons aren't exclusively for cosplayers.
The first con I went to I didn't cosplay and I still had buckets of fun.
