Thanks! I change the outfit on my dressform once a week. Its a nice thing to look at when I come in to my room. XD

I'm glad you think the wig looks of good quality, I thought so as well. Its only about $30 dollars, too. Not too bad!

You're telling me! Its impossible to find anything like it. I've looked everywhere. I need it too! lol

If I may :D I can suggest how to make a wig like that.
Buy a light pink bob wig or cut a shoulder length wig into a face framing cut you like.
(you'll probably need to cut the bob's bangs and so on anyways. People always try to wear wigs straight out of the bag, which is silly. The same exact haircut might not look good on different people, why would you not trim the bangs etc on a wig too??)

Then buy either some matching heat resistant extensions or clipins, curl them (or get pre-curled ones) and get yourself a sturdy needle, some matching thread and literally sew them into the sides of your bob/cut wig.
As for the color, you can easily achieve that muted pink color through dyeing the fiber before you sew the pieces together.

Thanks for the advice, it really helps. I'm going to attempt it, so we'll see how it turns out. So, you just sew the pigtails into the wig cap, huh? Hmmmm. I've also heard you can dye synthetic hair with certain inks?

I don't think it US accessable? I know when i was in my HXC cosplay days you can custome order color mixes in wig from HK and korea.

I know cyperous has a wig like that. Just google sheryl Nome wigs since the animu character has that strawberry lemonade hair.

*geek moment over*

Tell me when you get strawberry cream! I want to know what it's like. =D

gingerbreadgirl April 13 2009, 16:59:09 UTC

Definitely! I'm excited about it too!

Youre the best! that is a perfect color, I've just got to try to make the pigtails and stuff. And I don't want it to look like shit, so hopefully I can do a good job. We'll see. Hey, have you ever owned a cyperous wig? I've been seriously considering buying one. They look so smooth and nice, and not too shiny.
