Dear all fellow fat people some tips on optimal cosplay

Listen im a fat guy and I know I can't be runnin around in a spider man body suit alright so what should you cosplay as ?

Well I recommend characters that have alot of padding and layers or really loose robes

Like super heroes? Iron man is a great choice especially the mark 1 or judge dread

Like action movies? Robocop or the terminator just wear a really thick leather jacket and some shades no one looks at ya twoce

Like horror ghostface and Jason Voorhees ghostface has a giant flowy robe that hides the body figure and Jason is just actually a bulky giy in general

Holiday Improv Show Costume Ideas Needed

My improv troupe does super loose costumes around a theme for every show. This next show is "generic winter holiday" and I need a loose costume idea. I'm toying with krampus or a ghost of Christmas? But I'd like as many ideas as possible (and what pieces I'd need to pull them off). I possess a long silver wig, if that helps. Thank you in advance.

[ADVICE NEEDED] for a costume for a dance concert I have

Hey all,

I'm looking for a dance costume for my group concert later this year. It's quite nerve racking actually having not long to go till the concert.

Anyway, my costume is meant to be Scary Spice (Mel B from the spice girls) because my group (me [male] and 3 other girls) are doing a spice girls dance composed by my dance teacher and I'm struggling to find a good costume.

For starters, I have bought an easy, cheap afro wig.

For pants, I looked online and found that Mel B wears camo sometimes, so i bought some camo pants

lastly for shirt, which I'm not 100% sure about. I am trying to find a mens leopard print shirt that works with the costume. I have found a shirt that might work, it is $20 but with shipping its a good $45. I don't think at this stage I am ready to pay $70 dollars for a shirt I'll most likely wear once. (here is the link to the costume: SweatyRocks Men's Leopard Print Sleeveless Mock Neck Slim Fit Crop Tank Top Brown M at Amazon Men’s Clothing store) If anyone knows how to find the supplier of this product, for e.g aliexpress, ect. please let me know because i think it is a perfect idea, but i cant afford the $70

If anyone knows an alternative for this leopard print shirt it would be deeply appreciated, im starting to freak out as the concert is very soon.

Do you think that this costume idea accurately depicts Scary Spice?

Thanks,
Lewie

Fancy dress beginning with H

Good morning, first ever post on Reddit so apologies if I format it wrong.

I'm out for a Christmas do, in December in South London we're all firefighters and have to go as the first letter of your first name.

Has anyone got any ideas that a 30 year old man could pull off having a few pints around Bermondsey?

Any and all suggestions welcome, would like something a bit more off piste than Harry Potter or the Hulk but nothing as abrasive as the fuhrer.

Many thanks,

Hey all! Need some help with some basic vfx and wasn’t sure where to go!

Sorry if this doesn’t belong, but I’m working on a small project and need some basic effects for some sort of monster. The reference image is below if you want what I’ve been using, but basically anything that triggers uncanny valley will do!

The one issue is I’m dumb as all hell and have never really made a costume, so I’m not totally sure what to do with it, and any help or suggestions on where to go would be really appreciated! If there’s any tips, tricks or techniques that’d be perfect, but if not it’s totally alright! Thank you anyway for reading this and have a great day!

Costume idea for black tutu

Hello! Have a Halloween party tonight. I have a black bodysuit and tutu skirt, and I’m trying to figure out what to be. My first thought was to be a creepy ballerina doll and do my hair and makeup accordingly, but I feel like I’ll have to explain that to people. I also have a pair of devil horns I can add on, but again I feel that isn’t specific enough. Any ideas for other things I can be and/or ways I could make my current ideas more clear/specific?

Company Holiday Party Ideas

My girlfriend works for a company that has a massive themed Holiday gala every year. She's been there for 3 years and the first year the theme was "Secret Agent" most people there every year are dressed in their $1,000± suits regardless of the theme, but I took a risk and showed up in an Austin Powers costume and they loved it. Last year there wasn't a theme but I was just told this year was Mardi Gras. What are some good costume ideas for this? I was thinking of trying to find some shrimp costumes but ny girlfriend vetoed that. Any suggestions?
