Now I absolutely love Sailor Moon, I've always wanted to do a cosplay but have been put off by my size, so as soon as someone mentioned my green wig would make a good Sailor Neptune (or the joker genderbend/Neleil from bleach) cosplay I instantly wanted to make this a thing.
Being a size 20, most of these sailor moon costumes really aren't forgiving in the skirt department. Not only that but I would prefer to get my size or something custom made to my figure. Taking to the Internet for cosplay websites were easy, what wasn't was finding solid reviews. All these websites I was looking on we're very hit and miss, some people having good experiences others listing wrong sizing and very late arrivals with very bad customer-merchant communication. Yeah sure I could go and pay someone anywhere up form £100 for my costume, but I do not have this money lying around at present.
Next best solution I found was a very cute casual looking sailor moon dress up I found on Pinterest by some guy called Sebastian Michaels (sourced from weheartit). Which is what I am going to be basing my first cosplay around.
See! Look at how cute that is!
Okay firstly I have adopted the help from my lovely twin sister, Sophie, to help me find a skirt in the teal colour I need and she pulled up this from eBay:
I bought this as soon as it loaded, I'm not even exaggerating.
Progress so far:
• Wig (bought £35 from geisha wigs)
• White T-shirt (waiting for purchase)
• skirt (bought £6 from eBay)
• Collar and bows (will be trying to make these)
• Choker (going to try and make)
• Tiara*
*I honestly don't know if I should have a tiara or paint Neptunes symbol on my forehead?
