Wanting to make a dragon costume.

Hello everyone, as the title says I want to make a dragon costume for myself. I already have ideas of how I want to make the wings and such. But I'm having a hard time with what I want for my legs and torso. Most dragon costumes I've seen have either been like onesies or more on the revealing side. I want something that has full coverage but I'm struggling on how to make it dragon like. Maybe some sort of plate work on the front like a dragon's belly?

How should I do this?

I’m working on making a life sized costume of the Lisa Rinna M&M meme, and I want advice on how I can craft a plastic shell for the costume. Maybe also some advice on how to get the wig enlarged… I added the picture for context.

Rainbow twirl toy costume ideas!

Hello! I have been dreaming of making a music festival outfit that's a large version of this rainbow twirl toy! I would love to spin and have the strips of reflective material go up into a bubble shape! I am not sure how the physics would work and I'm definitely going to work shop some ideas but I thought I'd ask her if anyone's done it before or has any pointers!

Hangover

My son is 10 now, so I guess this was awhile ago. The wig, beard and mini aviators were from Amazon. Add cooperative/sleeping baby and you're all set!

Looking for anime/movie type costumes

I keep coming across these highly aesthetic costumes on pinterest, but I can't find anything similar on any of the shopping platforms or maybe I might be using the wrong keywords. If anyone has any idea of where i can purchase these types of costumer or if you know any tailor who can custom make these designs, please let me know.

New Years Eve Dark humor costume

Hi all, I'm just posting because I have no idea what to do for this costume party. I've been invited to a New Year's Eve party with the theme of dark humor/funny (Cards Against Humanity vibes)—nothing too dark as lots of people will be there that I don't know super well, plus some kids, but anything funny/slightly dark is welcome. My boyfriend will also be going so maybe a couples costumes or an individual one is fine. Just really lost as I've never been to a costume party so looking for some ideas. Thanks all!

Heyo, different from my normal stuff but I just need some help

So my friend who I'm involved with really wants to see me in a playboy bunny suit, getting one isn't an issue, it's getting one that'll fit me, I'm a trans woman so I'm not exactly the most tiny woman, I stand at 6'1 and am around 175lbs, I just need to know what size bunny suit would actually fit me comfortably and look good too

Choose a costume for work

My job is having a “retro” holiday party and the theme is to dress in a style associated with the 50ties, 60ties….up to the year 2000. Aside from being hard to choose from such a variety of options, I don’t want to be cliche. Can anyone suggest a more niche look from anytime during those five decades? Thanks!

I need some help with a costume idea for a Christmas dinner

So, I am in a small 30 people college and there will be a Christmas dinner on the last day, and I need a funny, absolutely stupid costume idea for the jokes for context we are a military college so our humor is a bit dark and we share the same brain cell, also I don't have the ability to make a costume from the ground up mostly due to skill and also lack of time and equipment so I was thinking of buying a costume and just adding onto it, however I don't know what I want to do with it not even like what to go as, elf, grinch, reindeer no idea but can't go as santa that's taken, I just need help coming up with a brilliantly insane, stupid and just over a meme costume

Couple costume ideas?

Hi all, just joined but my husband and I are considering a costume party for my birthday. I’m having trouble with costume ideas though, I really want to dress up as an iconic movie couple but can’t find one that we look like. I have light tan skin and dark hair, he’s light-skinned and bald. We don’t mind skin color differences but we can’t find any couples where the guy is bald and wigs can look tacky. Any ideas?
