help with cosplays

[soramaster]

I need help finding the cheapest(in price, not quality) Demyx cosplay. If anyone can help please tell me

[Rook]

eBay and Cosplay Magic both have decently priced get-ups. But as with all the Organization members, all you really need is the black coat and the appropriate wig. Wear a black shirt under the coat, black pants/jeans, and black colored shoes you can pick up on the cheap at Walmart or something, and you're set.

To expand on what Rook said, be careful when buying from eBay or Amazon. A lot of people won't have accurate measurements or sizes for you.

Although it is cheap, it isn't high quality. So, if you want it done right, I suggest that you do it yourself. If you want a sitar, it can be easily made from foam and PVC piping (AKA larping regulations), though that may be a little pricey as well.

It's your choice though, I'm just providing options.

This. Thank you, Chris. If ordering off of an internet marketing site like eBay, be sure to watch out for things such as the feedback others have left the seller. Those who mass-sell all sorts of cosplay items and costumes are much more trustworthy and credible than LadiesMan217, who has a single wig he's trying to sell you for $300.

Also, most large-scale sellers will be able to tailor-fit the cosplay parts to fit your exact measurements.

Okay, but how much money do you think I'll end up spending in all(including wig, shirt, pants, robe, foam, and anything else i'd need to do this accurately?)

I looked on cosplay magic and all that I see is a VERY expensive coat. One of my friends who also likes KH saw me looking at the site and said "That is the most expensive cosplay site I've ever been on. Who told you to go there?"

Is there a cheaper online store besides ebay, where I know you can find anything ?

Ok. I know that your gonna be all Kuriiii <.< we were helping first. BBuuuuttttt. One of my closest friends made a rather good demyx cosplay.

This is a "tutorial" on how she made her Sitar: spiffygremlin.deviantart.com/#/d494blj
Which I personally think is like the most basass thing ever XD its a plushie sitar

There is 2 ways I'd go about with the coat. Coats are hard, and so is vynle. SSSsssoooooo If you have experiance with Seing, try to make it, if you don't. I have another place for you to look for Coats:
www.cosplay.com/marketplace/index.php <- Cosplay.com market place.
My Friend Lanie just got an Orgy coat from someone who was selling one there. She had to do a lot of resizeing, but it was rather cheap.

As for money goes. You need the cheapest but high quality? not rreeaallyy gonna happen. I'd say that the coat will be the absolute most expensive. Its just an expensive item. if you buy it expect at the lowest $100, and you'd have to modify it.

Wigs. This is where it really varies. I see 2 styled wigs on ebay, cheapest being about $40.
If you wanted to style it yourself the cost could drop to somewhere around $20. plus the cost of hair glue if you don't have it. But I beg you, as a cosplay, get a nice wig. Bad quality wigs can KILL your entire cosplay.

Sitar: I honestly have no idea, but from the supplies ma friend listed I'd say no cheaper the $60

under stuff. look around really. Theres a thrift store here where black pants shirt shoes would be under $10, but I dunno what you have around there, it could be a lot more then that.

So at the VERY LOWEST I'd estimate... about $ 200-$300. Now don't quote me and be all like she said D8< Cosplay is expensive. thats just my estimate of the cheapest you can get if you willing to do a HELL OF A LOT of work.

just so you now im not just bein a bitch, cause u dun know me XD
Dis: www.cosplay.com/costume/371321/ ( My wedding Yuna cosplay) Cost me roughly $300 total.
($120 for Birtal satin, $50 for feathers, $20 for shoes $30 for tiara, $5 for sockish things, $10 fake flowers( dollar store yay)$10 for necklace, $10 Fashion tape, plus other supplies we had like chicken wire and hot glue )) and even i skipped out on some aspects ( like wig and pattern)

My best advise to you is do research. lots and lots of research. look at other demyx cosplayers and ask questions. It's really the best way to figure out the best. most accurate, and cheapest way to do things.

and as i say to everyone XD MAKE FRIENDS WITH COSPLAY.COM XD

No offense, but your friend probably doesn't check out cosplays on online markets very much if s/he thinks that's expensive.

The last time I checked (now bear in mind that I'm English so all ebay prices show up in pounds on my ebay account) the cheapest coat I found was £70 which is around the $100 mark. The coats are the most expensive part of any Orgie cosplay ..

[soramaster]

I went to cosplay.com and cant find anything except for pictures(Is that all there is) if someone can give me a link to a "For Sale" page I would be happy ;D
