sup i been buildin my own hoth trooper costume like this :
and after i was finished with the shirt i was like hmmm i kinda like how this came out and thought its somethin id like to wear like normally , but w/ out the badges and pins and accessories etc . so i then bought some black fabric to remake the shirt except in black but didnt like how flimsy it was , like when i put the pieces together it just looked ... cheap , idk . like it didnt hold its shape well etc , so i asked a good pal who designs her own shit and she got me some black wool and i gave her the shirt pattern and it came out reeeeeal fuckin nice , has the padding effect etc . and then we made the jacket vest to go over it .
well now ive kinda abandoned the hoth trooper costume and have been workin on makin the pieces in black for my regular wear but w / less details so it looks a lil more streetwear if that makes sense . theres alot of shit left to do and its rly tiring , anyway im wonderin if i should just cop out and buy like some thick winter trousers instead of tryin to make my own . the pattern i have is nice and i wouldnt change anythin cos its alrdy kinda plain , just has the padding effect on the knees which i want . anyone else have exp in makin costumes or like cosplay stuff and can give me any tips for stuff like that ? is it worth it to make it all myself vs buying some of it instead ? sometimes when im finished and it doesnt come out the way i want i get real fuckin angry and am tempted to scrap everythin , hours of work sometimes days for one piece
