    I'm trying to improve my cosplay as much as I can before I go to a couple in the next couple days. My friend said I'm too fat to do this cosplay and that I shouldn't go out wearing this because people will just laugh at me. I don't think I'm too fat and that it only needs a few adjustments before it's perfect.

    What can I do to make it better, /drama/?

    You're not fat, you're skinny fat. There's nothing much you can do if the cons only a couple days but just work out a bit next time. You look fine though.

    Honestly the only thing I don't like about your costume is the fact that you're using lace up converse instead of boots, and your shorts just don't look right. Fix that please.

    Your stomach is nasty and looks like a man's stomach. Please cover that shit up.

    The top should cover your navel at least. You're not exactly fat but not toned enough to expose so much stomach - cover it up.

    you need to be japanese skinny for this cosplay not american skinny. thats where alot of sluts get it wrong at cons. fat ass bitches think its ok to be american skinny in a tiny ass cosplay onlny too give others bleeding eyes from looking at them. so try to be japanese skinny. AT LEASSST, start from there, then work to more skinny.

    Fix your shirt and I'd be fine with it.

    it's not that bad.

    do cardio every day (running, ballsports, cycling, etc) everything that gets your pulse up

    also drop all the fatty, sugary, stuff and eat a lot of proteins, but generally reduce the amount of calories you eat every day.

    That should do the trick within a few weeks

    Reference included!

    1. For future cons, you should invest in a wig. But for now, when styling your hair, make the ends as flippy as possible. Use a flat iron on sections of hair, and turn it up on the end of each. Put some styling gel on your finger tips and go over the end of each section to make it more defined. Also do your best to work some volume into your hair to make it more "fluffy"; right now, it's just too flat for Yuna.

    2. Your top... definitely needs some work, but you probably don't have the time to start over. The biggest things you can do to fix it for now is to get good lace. And don't cut it into triangles (that's for Fairy Yuna from KH2 only). You'll probably have to dye your pink lace so that it matches the color of your hood (which, by the way, is far too vibrant of a pink - it should be a dark rose color). Honestly your top just doesn't look like it fits you right. The Zanarkand symbol is really messy. And you need to figure out a better way of securing the rope around your waist; the ends shouldn't be dangling down.

    3. Your armbands don't have the black lacing on the insides. Fix that, dear. It's a small detail that really isn't that hard.

    4. The fabric you used for the belt and pouch is waaay too dark. It should be a light tan. The fringe should be cream/off-white. You also didn't do the metal closures on the belt, but obviously it's too late for that. So really for this con, stick with this pouch, but in the future you'll be better off remaking it.

    5. According to the reference, the shorts need to be shorter... but if you're more comfortable with them at that length, it's totally understandable. (On that note, you can make your shirt longer! The bottom line of lace should hit just under your belly button.)

    eh. your stomach seems to be your only problem. besides, most pictures ive seen of this outfit are alot longer on the shirt - your stomach should only be peeking out, not on full display

    (LOL just kidding, reference is here.)
    6. Your sideskirt... Oh dear. Where to start? The blue is WAY too bright, it should be a faded medium blue. The gradient isn't supposed to spread over the entire thing; rather, it restarts at each "section". Each section is longer, so more white shows at the bottom of the second, and more at the third, while the first hardly shows any at all. Try looking up some tutorials on gradient dyeing because you could use some work on that. The lace you chose also doesn't look good. But... for now, the best thing you can do is cut the ends of the skirt ties into strips. Yours are just rectangle blocks, but they should be more like tassels at the end.

    7. Again, you probably don't have time... but please, please invest in a pair of lace-up boots. Not Converse. Who do you think you are? Yuffie?


    TL;DR: Stop worrying about your weight and worry more about the quality of your costume. Look at it this way. If you're overweight but your costume is high-quality, people will focus on the costume. But if you're overweight and your costume is awful, you'll get bashed. Hard.

    You're at a good starting point, but there's a lot you can do to improve in the future! But for the con in a few days, do what you can from the crit above, along with a few other things:

    - Look up a good makeup tutorial and practice it before the con. You could use some more defined eye makeup (like some liner and mascara, please), as well as a brighter lip color.

    - Do some crunches/an ab workout starting NOW. It'll help give you a tiny bit more definition for the con. (On that note, on the morning you're wearing this, do some situps.)

    - Cut out the soda and salty foods starting today. Switch to water and healthy snacks instead to reduce face puffing and general bloat!

    I hope that helps a bit! Sorry if it was super harsh, but hey, it's 4chan.

    Not a problem! Good luck, hun - it's one of those tricky cosplays that looks really simple, but it's really not. It's very easy to do badly, which unfortunately is what most people do.

    Let us know how it goes!
