anyone have tips on putting together my first cosplay costume? i have about a week, havnt decided on a costume but something simple would be good because of the short notice, has to be a trap costume though. 2b is one that keeps coming to mind but i dont know where to find a suitable dress and wig quickly.
one reason i like the 2b costume is im pretty heavily tattoo'd and the stockings and long gloves work around that
Can't quite speak to how you can get lace within a week's time for something similar to 2b's dress (unless you're a mad seamstress and can get the materials from Jo-ann's or equivalent, and sew it up within a week's time). You might have some luck with nearby Goodwill's and other thrift stores as they typically have niche stuff when on a short timespan (I bought a somewhat bulky, black padded vest from Goodwill years ago and removed pockets and modified it enough to be MGS1 Solid Snake's sneaking suit). So you'll have to be creative if you go that route.
You might be able to get away with 2b's undersuit with a white one-piece swimsuit maybe off of Amazon or Ebay maybe? Or just a white leotard somehow.
As for the wig you should check out local hair stylists or costume shops, they typically can get you something equivalent and with the right look within a few days time (but you might pay a bit of a premium for it). Otherwise you could try your luck ordering it online intime.
Stockings & socks should be easy as those can be ordered online or through a local big-box clothing store. Same story with the high heels.
Personally takes me weeks to prepare a costume, and if it involves a lot of fabric, I'd also have to pay a seamstress to help me (I don't have space for a sewing machine and sewing by hand is too time consuming/unreliable).
If you're really pressed for time, I think just buying pieces (or even the entire costume, amazon/ebay has a lot of those lol) online and hoping they fit is your best bet.
i came across these they seem almost perfect for either sailor moon or astolfo
