Hello! I'm Shiva, and I've been cosplaying since 2003.
I've always been interested in costuming, but when I discovered cosplay in college I never would have dreamed I'd still be doing it over ten years later! I certainly never thought that's how I would meet my husband (http://www.acparadise.com/loves/sketch), or some very incredible friends. I love performing and making costumes, and I've met a ton of amazing people through this crazy hobby and learned more than I could have imagined. It's been a blast!

- *Shiva* says, "They never made adult-sized coats or outfits; however for Samantha and Kirsten, their larger child-sized outfits (size 14-16 kids) fit me relatively well since they run large so I've found a few that I can wear on eBay. It's not easy, though - its hard to find any of the outfits other than the "Meet" dresses and even harder to find them in sizes above a child size 6 or 8. I've spent years trolling eBay to collect a few because I was so into them as a kid. I'd advise starting there!"

For Felicity, the colonial style dresses are more form-fitting and there is no way even a large child size would fit properly over my adult-proportioned chest and hips, so I've made her outfits myself using colonial dress patterns."

- AmericanGirl1990 says, "Where did you go to get the adult sized coat? I am really into American Girl clothes, but I don't really sew, so I'd like to be able to buy them now that I have a job."

- AmericanGirl1990 says, "I didn't know Pleasant Company did adult sized reproductions. I'll have to look into that because I have absolutely no patience for sewing, much like a lot of the American Girls."
