Gahhhhh we got our photos back from @dondolcephotography of our winx group!!! I’m in LOVE with the photos!!! This cosplay was very much outside of my comfort zone so big thank you to Don for working with my insecurities and these came out so much better than I had hoped and he did an amazing job capturing the cosplay! I did make the wings but they didn’t turn out how I wanted them to, for various reasons, so I will need to remake them from scratch since they sadly were no longer usable. I know I promised a tutorial, which will happen, but I need to remake the wings first. Maybe I’ll build them on a live? Would that interest anyone? _____________________________________ 📸 @dondolcephotography Bloom: @grainne_sea Tecna: @themoxiemegan ________________________________________ Hashtags: #katsucon #katsucon2022 #katsucon22 #winx #enchantix #enchantixcosplay #winxcosplay #winxtecna #tecnacosplay #winxbloom #bloomcosplay #winxenchantix #tecnawinx #bloomwinx #winxenchantixcosplay #winxgroup (at Katsucon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbu8WuhLY3Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Something I don’t think enough people talk about is wearing unfinished cosplays. So many of us stress and work ourselves sick trying to get things done for a con. Why do we do this? Maybe we need to normalize wearing work in progresses so here is mine. I did the best I could to finish in time for Katsucon but I got spread too thin and couldn’t finish. I had wanted to drop this cosplay from my line up but was in a group with friends who encouraged me to wear what was done. I felt like everyone would be able to tell I wasn’t done but do you know what happened? No one said a dang thing at the con, no one has commented that my cosplay isn’t accurate. In fact I got complements on my cosplay when I walked around. I know this is a massive issue where people love pointing out flaws in others to make themselves feel better but honestly there is a lot more people out there that will support you rather than tear you down. So if you are working yourself sick on a deadline just stop, wear that incomplete cosplay and go out and have fun with your friends. Don’t make your con about sitting in your hotel room crafting. Just preface the cosplay is a work in progress, your harshest critic is almost always yourself ❤️❤️❤️ So yes, here is my @noflutter princess peach who is very much a work in progress, but I love her and what I was able to get done ❤️ I am excited to announce I will be attending dragon con and my plan is to have her finished by then so wish me luck! Also I’ll be at Anime Boston tomorrow as Usagi so if you are going let me know what you are wearing so I can look for you ❤️ ______________________________ Cosplay based on the art by @noflutter (though mine is still a work in progress) 📸 is by the lovely and talented @marlo.louden Thank you to @shiva_larson who did the airbrush gradient work on my corset and boots! ______________________________ Hashtags: #katsucon #katsucon2022 #katsucon22 #katsucrunch #noflutter #noflutterprincesspeach #noflutterpeach #nofluttermario #nofluttercosplay #princesspeach #princesspeachcosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayworkinprogress #animeboston #animeboston2022 #dragoncon #dragoncon2022 (at Katsucon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeE1VbJpe_P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Like most during quarantine I have gained a lot of weight. This was a tough cosplay for me with how little clothing I have on so I couldn’t “hide” the change. Of course all bodies are beautiful but that’s easy to say when you are confident. I am a mix of confident and insecure so I thought I would share what I did with this cosplay to help insecure me feel more confident in this new version of my body. There are three main things that helped me with this. So to start I am wearing thick tights. This helps make my legs have all the same tone and come across as more smooth. Second is I am wearing a corset with a flesh tone tank top over it to hide it. I put duct tape over the front clasps of the corset to make them not stand out as much. Corsets always help me feel more confident and giving me that special hourglass shape. The benefit of also wearing the corset was that my wings had something to slip into so I didn’t need to wear straps. Third thing is to get a good photographer. If you are insecure a bad photographer can make you feel worse. Getting a good photographer means they know how to shoot you in the best light, get good angles and help posing. Overall don’t hold back from doing cosplays you are insecure about. Sure some people might say mean things but do your best to ignore them, remember you cosplay for yourself, not them so they don’t get to have an opinion on if you look good or not. Also don’t be afraid to alter a cosplay to fit your comfort levels. Who cares if the costume doesn’t exactly match, what matters is how you feel in it. Very few people have those perfect bodies that look like the art, so try not to be too hard on yourself. You get one life, don’t let yourself hold you back. Sometimes the voice in our head is our own worst enemy. _____________________________________ 📸 @dondolcephotography Tecna: @themoxiemegan ________________________________________ Hashtags: #katsucon #katsucon2022 #katsucon22 #winx #enchantix #enchantixcosplay #winxcosplay #winxtecna #tecnacosplay #winxenchantix #tecnawinx #winxenchantixcosplay #winxgroup #bodypositive #bodypositivity #thickthighssavelives #thicc #thiccthighssavelives (at Katsucon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_EoJspblc/?utm_medium=tumblr

My nights have been sooooo busy with crafting and the last cosplay to finish is none other than @noflutter princess peach!!! I won’t have her completed at the full level I want her to be at but I plan to continue to work on her and wear her again for dragon con later in the year. I’ll be wearing peach on Sunday afternoon of Katsucon! _______________________________________ Hashtags: #katsucon #katsucon2022 #katsucon22 #katsucrunch #noflutter #noflutterprincesspeach #noflutterpeach #nofluttermario #nofluttersupermario #nofluttermariogirls #nofluttercosplay #princesspeach #princesspeachcosplay (at Katsucon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaD4JUJLcky/?utm_medium=tumblr
