New person with a question...
Hello everyone! I hope I'm not breaking any unwritten community rules or disturbing you with my first post here, but I have a rather pressing question which I would really appreciate your help/opinions on.
Please and Thank You
So I've sadly been an Eroica fan for only about a year *hangs head in shame*...but I am a big fan nevertheless, and a few friends and I are going to do a little cosplay at the Nan Desu Kan here in September :) I usually stick to more flamboyant cosplay (read: old-school Visual Kei) but we need to do something less expensive this year and I got roped into being the Major...not that this is a bad thing necessarily -he is after all my favourite character, but it then results in the following situation (this is where I need your help please!):
I'm 5'5" and built pretty well for crossplaying, but...my friend who is to be Eroica is more curvy and ...about 5 feet tall. I'd really appreciate it if you more experienced fans could lend me a bit of your time to suggest an outfit of Eroica's that is paired easily with 4 inch heels and can be worked out to conceal a girlish figure. I've looked at all the pictures posted here (awesome, by the way!) and gone through all the manga I've got a bunch of times, but I'm not really satisfied.
And less important, but if you've got a second, what would you recommend for a Herr G cosplay? I'm rather partial to the cute coat he wore in Alaska, but that's not the best for the end of summer...
Thanks very much for your time and opinions!
