I'm planning on making costumes from DB and DBZ and instead of making an individual build thread for each ill cover them all here.
It should be know that I like the weathered realistic look for most my costumes so I will be taking some creative liberty's on these builds.

Yamcha is about done, I just need to costume and makeup test.
The shirt was made by sewing 2 Green shirts together and tailoring to size, adding a zipper and submerging it in a brown dye for a few minutes to give it a darker earthier tone.
the symbol is foam painted with acrylic and weathered with shoe polish, the red lining was bought at hobby lobby and sewn into place.

The pants were originally grey sweatpants dyed orange with synthetic rit dye and weathered with shoe polish.

The scarf was cut and sewn to size and weathered

For the wrist bands I made a pattern with saran wrap and masking tape to make sure they would fit me. I traced and cut the pattern on pink fabric, added foam inserts to give them volume and used the same red lining as on the shirt.

The headband and belt were the same shape but different sizes, once cut and sewn the head band was dyed a dark red.

The boots were tricky, I bought a cheap pair of slip on shoes, made a pattern for the covers then I cut and sewed them together. The white is a separate piece with pleats sewn in and sewn in place, the brown flap on top is a simple rectangle sewn on the top and the white string is extra fabric sewn to size. The covers were glued onto the shoe using shoe goo.

Bulma is coming along but for now I only have pictures of the shoes.
They were plain shoes to start, I made a pattern to make them look like the high tops we all know and love and cut them out of turquoise pleather found at Jo-Anns. the toung was a rectangle piece of fabric measured to size and It was all glued using shoe goo.

Really nice too see DB builds :D! I actually did the cell games Gohan a couple years ago, but your cape is coming out so much better. Can't wait too see the rest.
 
Progress!

The dress is a 4XL shirt from Walmart tailored to size, the symbol is made of foam and painted with acrylic.The the pouch is a simple square pattern with a foam box inside to make it sturdy and latched together with Velcro. The scarf is purple fabric sewn in a tube (Its the same way I made the socks).
Here is the wig without the red bow.
