I thought from the thumbnail this was a screen grab from one of the MadTV "Stewart" sketches.

These are the 3 presenters of the old Top Gear, right? Jeremy Clarkson, the hamster and the grey one?
californiapoppies
I am not entirely convinced those aren't 3 men......

Is the middle one a girl?

Han Solo costume: $150 at least. Now it will be worn 5 times a year for 30 years
shuttlecockinakumquat
Are these dudes?
NoLongerFoamingWolffo
So, my initial reaction was: lol, why, did you think they were girls? Then I scrolled back up and holy crap I think they might be girls...
FatherElongatedAppendages
I spend roughly $100 to $500 per cosplay. It's an expensive hobby, but I love it.
robindawilliams
Bought a 3D printer thinking my costs would go down? Nope. Now I spend even more but my standards went from "close enough" to screen accurat

People waste a bunch of money on things they dont need and have no reusable value
ThatOtherTransGirl
Very true. But it makes them happy, no? Anything that enriches your happiness or well-being is not wasted, in my opinion.
B99Reactions
Thats why eveyone has an opinion, in the end people who waste their money in things that made them happy complain they have no money
B99Reactions
Then a group of the same people start spreading that there is something wrong that made them not have money and it was always them

I do medieval/renfests.... My garb collection is worth a fortune or nothing depending on who you ask.
PrincesssButtercup
Bf and I do ren faires. He and I make everything by hand, my outfit is probably about 350 plus time spent, his is closer to 500
dankruptcy
I wish I could commit to a big expensive outfit. I get distracted by novelty ideas and then blow the money I could have saved
Schrod1ngersCaT1701
Oh man my full regalia is probably float to 600, maybe 700 dollars and im not even close to done yet.
pois1
If it's resellable to people like yourself, it's worth something. If not, worthless.
FernandoRumdebum
Cost != worth, sorry buddy.
Marblebag
Depends on what it is, and who it's catering to. Garb for Medieval/Renaissance festivals retain their value for the most part if 1/2
Marblebag
they're not walmart specials. 2/2
flavivsaetivs
A properly made, complete Roman reenactment kit (not cheap Indian replicas) will run ~3500 USD+.
mwppmarauders
I feel you. The amount I've spent on corsets alone... Yeesh. Next big project is some nicer boots.
VodkaReindeer
If you got robbed in a dark alley while wearing your gear, would you fight or tell them it's worth nothing?
dnebdal
I own just one set of artfully handmade shoes in good leather, and I only use them for viking reenactment. Somehow this feels sensible.
dnebdal
Admittedly, viking gear seems cheaper than renfair clothes. The shoes are well made but plain, and _shoes_ not boots. Cost maybe $200?
Marblebag
I can attest. I'm buying 500 dollar boots here next weekend for my garb
ginniper
I've got custom ones I've been paying on for months! Worth every penny!

Sandalar?
Marblebag
Yeah, sons of Sandlar.
Thorudon
I'm not even close to having a full outfit... I've probably spent close to $250 and thus far all I have is a helmet and some nice bracers.
HTButterBunsofSteel
So it IS weird that I threw together a shop lookalike outfit in one day for $50? ... Bodice, shirt and skirts?
ginniper
Not at all! You start small and build on what you have!
Thorudon
Haha, to be fair I wasn't planning on a full suit when I started. Since it's a Crusader greathelm/buckethelm, I feel like it would look >
Thorudon
< absolutely absurd without full plate, which... $$$ haha. Maybe a tabard and chainmail wouldn't look bad. Bracers don't match either way.
Benegesseritwitch75
Seriously between SCA and belly dance I have more in garb/costumes than my car
SecretlyARedPanda
I know the feeling. Good boots aren't cheap and cheap boots aren't good.
ginniper
Truer words have never been spoken! I learned that the best quick inexpensive fix for footwear is shoe wraps over sturdy non-period boots.
si3cginmon
I do renfests and am in a steampunk band. Trying to bite the bullet and get the $800 renfest boots
si3cginmon
. The $90 ghillies look fine, but my feet hate them. Yes, spending the money on the boots is worth every dime!
SecretlyARedPanda
Vending at Renfests, I was lucky I could write things off as a business expense. My normal garb (Pants/shirt/coat/boots/belt) is ~$2000.
mwppmarauders
I'm saving up for expensive ones as well. Adult stuff keeps getting in the way. Terrible.
ginniper
Shoe covers mate! There are lots of great tutorials out there to save you monies but keep you looking period correct.
CountCarophyllale
Sandlars?
SecretlyARedPanda
That's where I got my boots and coat. Solid choice.
DrDoost
My Sandlars are the best addition to my costume
si3cginmon
I’ve looked into them. We have a similar vendor at our home faire called Nativearth; I’ve tried their boots on and I like them.
SecretlyARedPanda

EvilKrikkit
Good think I'm fat. I can't cosplay.
beegobuzz
Says you.
fluhatinrapper
You do you Glenn Coco
buttbuttpartywagon
Sure you can
CoolerBetterFasterStronger
That doesnt stop half the people who cosplay.
shuttlecockinakumquat
Including Sailor literal Moon.
EvilKrikkit
It isn't the fat that stops me. It's self-awareness.
EvilKrikkit
I just hit an eight of a ton and I'm thinking I need to change my life.
dreadmad
Go for it brother, this internet random believes you can do it
rainbowcoloredpoop
You could always go as the Blob.

Keto is a great way to lose a large amount of weight without being too restrictive on food. If you can give up sugar and starch that is.
solarshado
But... Potatoes and bread are delicious...

I said that once at Acen and people immediately named off over a dozen fat characters I could cosplay.
GhostlyWhale
Saw a ton of plus sized cosplayers at ACEN'17 and many looked amazing. Tons of detailed armor and swishy cloaks.

Are you trying to tell me to fuck rats

That’s gonna be my new go-to comeback! “Go fuck rats.”

Better question, where is the dog?

You know.

For science obviously.
TheFriendliestGiant
Cosplay is not for the faint of heart, or light of wallet.
Alvatore
Lowcost Cosplay. Look for it on imgur.
VigorousButtstuff
And the SCA's just like "That's cute"
DefenderOfDog
people who cosplay are crazy you Know how many treats you could get instead
Stuey1221
Or apprently small of breast
Un0riginalComment
Flat is Justice! You still need to be hot tho
TallDude
True if you want to become popular/famous, or get ANY recognition for your work.
TheFriendliestGiant
If you want to become mainstream famous, sure. If you're looking for recognition from the cosplay community, whole different ballgame.
TallDude
Fair. But Mainstream is where you need to go if you are trying to make any sort of income at all.
amyrose
Some are a long term investment- some elaborate costumes (like for Ren Fest) are made over time, say, a piece a year. It adds up.
Textuality
Way back in the day I used to cosplay at BayCon. And yeah, I probably spent too much on costumes.
xellbe
As someone who designed and got custom fabric printed for my last cosplay....yeah. It is not a cheap hobby.
amyrose
What/who were you?
xellbe
Padme from Ep 2. I recreated her lake dress for a Star Wars themed con in September.
impostersquall
its atleast going to be 100 dollars
AlveyPearl
well you're not wrong..
TheWarHymn
For the taxi fare and tickets to the convention where you'll show it off.
Locolarue
How the fuck is a Sailor Moon cosplay that expensive?
CoolerBetterFasterStronger
Assuming its not hand made and you just bought everything, about $79, unless its really cheap stuff.
GhostlyWhale
Foam or worbla (plus paint/primers) for the detailing is fucking expensive. A good $20 for a 1x1 sheet at least
Kite1396
Made a solaire cosplay, its not even that high quality, and its running me in excess of 120$
GhostlyWhale
Cheapest wig that'll work for an upcoming project just cost me $40. And its not even long or that complicated. Less than $20 and You'll
GhostlyWhale
Need $10-$20 in equiptment to style it.
haunter64
P sure that at least wig, gloves and boots would be at least 80% of the price, some cosplayers even resell wigs cause of that
beegobuzz
Oh, honey... if you're making it on your own, materials: $32/Cotton lycra, $56/Duchess satin, $20-40/wig, $20ish/shoes, if you're not 1/2
beegobuzz
2/2 making your own props, $20/tiara, $10/earrings, depending on character.. $10-30/brooch&hair pieces, up to $70 for weapon props.
beegobuzz
Average is around $250 to 300. Don't get me started on Assassin's Creed costumes.
furrydumpsterfire
As a furry, im not used to $300 being considered as expensive for cosplay. Fursuits are expensive as fuck, $400 minimum for a partial 1/2
furrydumpsterfire
Suit and $1000 minimum for a full suit (assuming you are commisioning it), there is no real set price for homemade fursuits.
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
That's not a lot of money for a modern teenage girl though. Their phones cost 3x that, minimum. They pay that for a Salon hairdo.
Captainbutter
God no we don't. What do you think we are, made of money? Cosplay runs me dead dry even with me doing all the actual crafting
beegobuzz
Cosplay is mainly adults with kids or college age adults now. My last costume ran about $225 for a flamenco dress and I have 2 kids.
