Maria's Howto: Last Minute Cosplay!

As promised/mentioned in my Last-Minute Con Howto, here is my last-minute Cosplay Howto!
  1.  Go for Closet/Hot Topic Cosplays. Closet Cosplays are natural clothes that can be easily worn on the streets, found in a normal persons closet, or even in a store. They're easy too. Hot Topic cosplays are cosplays with outfits that can be easily found at stores like Hot Topic. Gothic Lolita is also sometimes confused with this.
  2. WID, go hair over clothing. It's much easier to make an outfit than order a wig and expect it to come on time, dye, or even temp-dye your hair. Seriously.
  3. If you don't know where to start, look at realistic animes. Can anybody name a fantasy anime that isn't filled with over the top outfits? Exactly.
  4. Find your own character! If you want to cosplay someone with your specifications, go here! You just plug in your hair color/length, eye color, and some other things and it gives you a list of easy cosplays!
