Frequently Asked Questions: 

 

Cosplay related (costumes, beauty and materials)

1: What was your first costume and why?
Rin Tohsaka, because it was an easy cosplay and because I really like her.

2: What is your favorite costume and why?
My fav costume is Ada Wong’s one. I spend a lot of time to make it and I like the fact that I don’t make it in satin as everyone does and it fits perfect. I love Ada and RE series since I was fifteen.

3: Where do you buy your wigs?
I buy my cosplay wigs on Ebay or on Aliexpress.

4: Where do you buy circle lens?
On the reviews  I wrote here, I always include the store from where I get it. Usually,  I buy lens from Pinky Paradise and Honeycolor .

5: Where do you buy fabrics?
I buy almost all the fabrics of my cosplay in local stores in my town. Sometimes,  when the stores don’t have the specific fabric (or color) I need,  I buy on Tessuti.com .

6: Do you take commissions?
Yes, You can fill the form  on the section “contact me” or send me a private message on my Facebook page.

7: Are you a professional seamstress?
Yes, I actually graduated as seamstress and modellist in the 2017.

8: What make-up brand do you use for cosplay?
I use more or less the same that I use daily.  Brands are medium quality with very affordable prices as Essence,  Make up Revolution, Maybeline and Elf .More expensive  make-up do not make you automatically prettier than cheaper make-up. The important thing is learn to use it well.

9: How long do you work on your costumes? How much do they cost?
I’m a very lazy and slow seamstress. I need a lot of time to make something like I want to have it. But I don’t know how, sometimes I can be very fast and get quite good results. Also the costs vary a lot. There are some cosplays where I spent just 15€ (as I-pin)  and others where I spent more than 200€ (as Etna’s cosplay stuff).

10: Are you a professional cosplayer?
I don’t consider myself a professional cosplayer.  Cosplay is just a hobby that I make in my spare time and I consider the cosplay commissions as a part-time job.  I have a normal job (more or less ) and I also study at a private academy. I love cosplay and modeling but, right now, I don’t consider it as a job.

11: Do you have a dream costume you’d like to make?
I have a lot of costumes I’d like to make… and I will try to  get those dreams to life! I need just time and money…

12: What kind of character do you like?
I like loli, tsundere and yandere characters. I really appreciate petit body characters among the super busted girls  that everyone loves (maybe because I’m a member of the flat chested team…..). Rarely I like ”femme fatal” characters as Ada Wong or Bayonetta.

13: What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Final Fantasy concert at Etnacomics 2013, It was an happy experience. Me and a friend where dressed as  Rinoa and Squall and we enjoy all the concert dancing and making crazy thing as the chocobo racing ;  everybody enjoyed about us.

14: Have you won any awards for your costumes?
I have won some awards with my cosplays. I’ve put a little crown on the preview image on cosplays that have won 1 or more prizes.

 

Shooting  and conventions

1: Who takes and edits your photos?
Most of my oldest cosplay pictures were taken by friends at conventions/events. They were not professional pics but token just for fun.

2: How do you find your shooting locations? Do you have to pay to use them?
