( bbonds007 ) So, for the armwrap trims... after studying pics for a while, I came to the conclusion that the blue and black are velvet, so I got these two deals from etsy: Black and a pretty much perfect medium blue that I scoured the entire site for (accurate color is way. too. difficult!)...

How's the costumes going, peeps? Long time, no updates. So, I've purchased some velvet and braid trims from Etsy for the arm bands, which I think will be pretty screen accurate. I can share links if anyone is interested. The widths might be too small for a man's size, but they'll be perfect for...

Hey all! Haven't been costuming much lately but I finally decided on a new costume to make, and Doctor Strange it is! Fem version, of course, but it's basically going to be the same design soooo... that's a thing, right? ;) Anyway, a huge BRAVO to everyone working on your awesome costumes...

For those who asked, this is how the coffee-dyed bandages look (against a sheet of white paper). Aaaand I thought I'd share a pic of my costume. :) Forgive the fact that the colors are atrociously off, definitely much too warm... but I just have no desire to mess around with dying, and I...

Tip for those still needing to make the arm wraps: Johnson and Johnson's 4" wide, 2.5 yd long rolled gauze, dyed with coffee, works absolutely perfectly. I know alot of people struggle with their arm wraps falling down, but this is designed to stick to itself, so it stays up pretty well if you...

Your costume looks absolutely amazing, miradarkstar!! Stunning job. :) Question: what did you use for the arm wraps?

prostreetnotch -- your plan for the arm wraps looks fabulous!! What width gauze are you using here? Gotta buy me some..

Hey all, I've been following this [very informative] thread for the past few weeks, as I've been kicking into high gear to get my Rey costume made for the premiere. One thing I wanted to add, for all those budget cosplayers out there, regarding the boots: The item I've found most difficult to...

How exciting! I can't wait to see your upgraded Iron Woman take shape... subscribed! ^_^

Yes! I was so excited to see Cap's costume didn't change much. The upgraded pants look much, much better, and I like the removal of the white stripes from the arms. The new ab stripes are okay, but I think they looked a bit better in his AoU costume, and I do miss the snazzy red accents around...

Thanks!! I'm glad you like it. :) I also LOVE the idea of making that Scarlet Witch concept art costume!!! I actually hadn't seen it previously, and totally love the look. A nice balance between comics and real life -- keeps the key design aspects of the comic costume, and makes it much more...

As far as the next cosplay, well, I was wanting to make something for Ant-Man in July, but so far all we've seen is the antman suit, and I don't have a desire to recreate that as a fem version. I'm still holding out for Evangeline Lilly to get a Wasp costume, but, so far, we haven't seen that...

Awhh, seriously, thank you, I so appreciate your words of affirmation. :) I was quite pleased with the shade of blue as well -- thrift stores can have surprisingly nice finds. :D Yeah, as far as the cowl/mask, I decided early on in the process that I wasn't going to attempt making one, or buy...

Thank you so much! ^_^
