Hello Everyone,

This thread is design for the basics in cosplay and is for tutorials that do not relate to any certain show. I hope that these tutorials will help you when you need help with costumes that are more Ethnic or genre related. It will also help with filling in the gaps for costume pieces that you can't find a tutorial for. For example if you not know how others made a wig for their costume, you can study up on how to do wig design to cut or design your own.

All the link to individual pages relating to each general subject is marked down below.

I would like to make some acknowledgement before you explore. Most of the early work on the subjects was started by Gaia User Xinitia (Xac). I have since taken the lead on adding to the work that they have started. I hope to add and improve on what they have started. I will be using a lot of their work and their ideas.

If there are any subjects that you'd like me to include or if you have any link suggestions, please feel free to contact me. I'm always looking for new suggestions and help with making this thread great.
