Yesterday Suzu and I talked with my best friend who wanted to ask a friend of his if she would be willing to cosplay with us and....she is.

So we are going to Cosplay the complete Ressha Sentai ToQger Core Team this summer :D :lol

Imaginaaaaaaaation!

All aboard the Trainbow!!!

I'll have to give that a try. I have no heat gun though.

So does anyone have an recommendations on where I could go to commission a costume?

I want to know too...if anyone knows please share.

Skirt for Yayoi: done :D

Catherine Jones at God Save the Queen Fashions does absolutely amazing work. But she only takes a limited number of commissions at a time so she isn't always available.

Harrison Krix at Volpin Props also does amazing work, but he's generally strictly props like helmets and weapons. I don't think he does any work with soft parts.

You could also ask around the Replica Prop Forum, those folks might be able to point you in another specific direction.

I have decided that I want to finish a cosplay of Star-Lord based on his movie design in time for the release of the movie. The helmet, shirt, and pants should be easy enough to obtain. My concerns, though involve the coats. In the movie, Star-Lord has two coats: a red jacket of standard length, and a red overcoat.

What I'm wondering is how I can make these coats with sewing skills that would make a blind person cry.

Coats are always the toughest part. Good luck

I made progress on my Agent Venom Cosplay:

My Gauntlets/Bracers for him:

I made them from Cardboard because I just moved and have a ton of it and I'm broke.
