ARGH BBC COSPLAY

[winter_hermit]

Just need to rant a bit about trying to do costumes based on anything BBC.

Okay, I'm coming at this from years in anime fandom, where cosplaying is quite a bit different:  you're always creating, often from whole cloth, outfits based on drawings and animation.  Problems tend to involve lack of actual gravity, unknown materials, the way things will

Aw! *Hugs!* I can see how cosplaying live-action shows can be harder than anime as you don't have much "accuracy leeway." After you showed me http://wearsherlock.tumblr.com/ I was also surprised on how costly the actual items are and that the show's budget is large enough to accommodate all these things (though perhaps they're sponsored for product placement and get to use them for free?...hmmm...). I can only imagine what you're going through right now. I mean, for me, I'm only looking for the right fabric to make my own deerstalker and not looking to create an entire cosplay (yet...). Despite checking everywhere, including Amazon (though I'd rather inspect the fabric in person), I cannot find the right tweed pattern to match the one being sold online/in the show. I want to sew it because I think I can sew it for half the price. Plus, I can dictate the quality and sizing of it. But...if only I could find the right fabric! Anyways...hang in there! My heart goes out to you! Once your cosplay is complete, it will be a work of art and we will be (as always) awestruck! (Again, BTW, your Watson and River cosplays are amazing!)

Yeah, I'd love love love to know who decided every single coat John wears will cost at least 400 pounds new... and then there are his damn shirts...

The internet is such a tease sometimes. I was told that everything would be on it! :P
