Help gaiz!

Thu Jan 8, 2009, 6:28 PM
Currently, I am trying to convince a friend of mine to cosplay as Seto Kaiba (Yesh, YOU-GAI-HO LOL) because he has the hair and height for it (He needs work in the badassery department, but he has a bitch like me for a friend, so it should all work out)

He said he would do it IF I did most of the work (and since I just got a sewing machine and I REALLY want to see him cosplay as Kaiba, I agreed T-T) and if I let him do Kaiba's purple coat he wore from Duelist Kingdom ([link]) rather than the white Battle-city jacket. ([link])

Anyway, I need TIPS! Does anyone know how to make a jacket? I've looked at some tutorials, but some steps seem to either be missing or they assume that I already know how to sew T-T Please help!

This would also be helping me out too because I will have to make my Mask deMasque coat from scratch. ([link]) SO SEND THEM TIPS IN!

...Ok, and I want to make Thief King Bakura's outfit. It just looks badass. I blame the internet. ([link])

Yeah, go ahead, call me a weeaboo. I know I've earned it at this point.

But... the purple coat was HIDEOUS.

HID-EE-US.

I KNOW, but he wouldn't do it unless it was the purple coat and green pants T-T so I decided I would compromise. Trust me, it is rare that I ever convince my friends of cosplaying. :icondragondancer11: is the only one (she jumped for joy at my suggestion of a Ty Lee cosplay) who has ever gone through with it.

I remember you told me before about that XD
LONG time ago, though =/
Rather surprised the hair is still perfect for Kaiba, though... >.>'
Ahem.
Anyways, I dunno how to explain how to make jackets... I only ever draw them... so yeah... I've never actually made one due to a lack of a sewing machine... and fabric... >.>'
At least not full-sized... and then again... it was a sweater... not a jacket...
AHEM!
Anyway, the best way to learn how to make one (apart from physically showing you myself which is kind of impossible), I'd recommend you do it how I did it... take apart an old one you own that you don't care about and put it back together... >.>'
Sewing it back by hand is a bitch, though, that really sucked =/

I know, but I recently talked to him and he asked me if it was still on. That's what reminded me.

Problem is: purple fabric.

Especially getting it that long for the evil coat-tails of doom.

I don't understand the passion for cosplaying; I really, really do not.

But, you may inform your friend he has CRAPPY fashion sense. *shudder*

XD I love it. It's dorky as hell, but really fun when your costume is good. I've only done two successfully, but I want to do a lot more.

Yeah, he does, but then again, he IS a guy and even more of a dork than me. I still love him though and I really want to see him as Kaiba simply because it would be good for the lulz.

I thought he wasn't terribly thrilled about it, though?

So, that's the fabric Cody would be after I take it?
Were he collecting fabric as opposed to cards, I mean.

You might have to compromise, or stitch together pieces of it in such a way as to not make it obvious. You could also get a lab coat and dye it purple and modify it. As a last resort, anyway.

He was after I promised I'd do it for him.

LOL Probably.

Lab coats are EXPENSIVE. I never thought they would be but they are. That is indeed a possibility though.
