#cosplay costumes plus size

[aroaceleovaldez]

i would like to say my ideal PJO adaptation (if i was being physically forced against my will to have to pick a live action adaptation over an animated one for some reason) would be a combo like writing of the musical + casting of the show + visuals of the movies

BUT the show actually does have the playwright for the musical as one of the major writers for like three episodes and that did nothing for it. so...

POM Wonderful / Cosplayer: catcancraft

I decided to bring the Pom Wonderful bottle costume to life after years of joking about sharing the same body type. "Hourglass? More like Pom Wonderful bottle!" The overall aesthetic was inspired by retro cigarette girl costumes, hence the off-center hat that amusingly irritated so many!

Like most of my costumes, the process was all about the details. Everything on the dress was cut, stitched and written/painted by hand. Since I don't have a dress form, I had to fill trash bags with Polyfil to roughly fit my measurements. I even bothered to work up the math for the accurate serving size information for my weight & "liquid volume". As for materials, the dress details are all done in felt & puff paint. (I wanted something that wouldn't crack when stretching over my body!) The hat is made from cardboard, paint, netting, and phonebook paper. The bottle I’m holding is a fully functional purse that was dyed with alcohol ink, lined in cellophane with a ribbon strap and button closure. Purses are a must with all of my costume designs, as the function is as important as form!

The response was INCREDIBLE! My costume went viral and FAST. I posted the original photos on my Facebook page around 6pm, and by 8pm, I was getting messages about being on the front page of Reddit. (I didn't post it there, but many others did!) By the next day, my phone battery couldn’t stay full as I was receiving an unbelievable amount of messages thanking me for my body positivity, fan art (!!!), and (uncredited, grrr) memes, etc! There was a bit of a backlash (re: my size) from some darker corners of the internet, but far and away the positive reaction overshadowed the bad. Pom Wonderful's PR team re-posted my costume and sent me an amazing gift basket filled with all the Pom goodies a bottle could ever want. Over the years, I've had many people message me thanking me for my visibility, as well as sharing recreations of their own versions of the costume.

The night after I posted the costume, I was handing out candy on Halloween night and I was recognized IN PERSON! Many of the parents had apparently seen me on Reddit. I was floored. Within the first few days of posting, I’d been interviewed for a podcast, featured on Buzzfeed and numerous body-positive articles, so you can imagine the response since the initial posting. It's been three years since I posted the costume, and every Halloween since, the original post and the uncredited meme re-circulate.

I’m still humbled by the massive response to a costume I ultimately made for my own amusement. But, I think that in itself sums up the spirit of Halloween and cosplay. You can be anything you want, and the joy in what you’ve made will shine. Many people commented on how genuinely happy I looked in the photos. Because I was! A silly vision come to fruition. The Pom costume checked off so many boxes: silliness, body positivity, creativity and more, that it resonated with a wider audience than I'd ever conceived it could, and continues to do so every Halloween. And the fresh pomegranates in my gift package weren’t so bad either.

Cosplay is for everyone.

I know cosplay is for everyone, but I need to remind myself of that. I am a plus size woman cosplaying a thin and lanky man. I am allowed to do this. I am not making the character look bad, just different than usual.

I am included in the phrase cosplay is for everyone

I Cosplayed Basil (Omori) for Halloween!

I had a lot of fun doing this, I hope you guys like it!

I made the flower crown out of those fake flower arrangements you can get at walmart, and I modified the overalls to fit me and the cosplay better. I might add more to them at a later date (maybe some embroidery?) But for now I'm happy with them ^^ I wanted to use a different shirt for this cosplay but it got lost in my laundry and it was a little too cold out for just a t-shirt anyway, so I borrowed this sweater from my sister.

I also did some horror makeup with the final look :)

A consideration for all of my fellow plus size cosplayers that may sound simple, but it's been incredibly helpful for me:

I used to be nervous to cosplay characters like Harley Quinn or Jessica Rabbit, or anyone played by iconic, thin actor, because I knew that even if I got the costume down perfectly, I would still never look "right."

Then I started cosplaying with the mindset of "imagine how this character would look if they cast me. How would they look if they looked like me?"

Making the character fit me instead of trying to cinch and contour myself to fit them has been incredibly freeing, and an excuse to get more creative with my cosplays. I couldn't get costumes off the rack anyway, so I thrift them, and now I've fallen in love with some of the unique pieces that make my cosplays special and completely my own.

Day 1 of New York Comic Con. Went easy with our horror characters. Have you ever wondered how Candyman gets to you so fast? Now you know. I was the lead from the French horror Eyes Without a Face. I made sure to look like I just stepped out of a black and white movie. Did anyone else read the T&C? Felt like an eye exam. All costumes are handmade by me.
