Ideas for a Cosplay Ball

Kitteh · Post by **Kitteh** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 3:07 pm

Right, here's my dilema:

Cosplay Ball, I need ideas for my boyfriend and I.

I have one idea already;
Seymour and Yuna (Wedding outfits)

But I need some more...

I have considered Tsubasa and the like but my boyfriend has long, blonde dreadlocks which complicates things =P They are hard to fit under a wig!

I want a rather elegent costume and obviously it needs to be formal as it's a ball. My sewing skills do not have much limit and I prefer more extravagant costumes.

I am very petite, hair is not an issue; wear wigs.

Below, I have the dark brunette/black hair and you can see my boyfriend is the guy with dreads =P

They are longer now as well, we could put it under a wig but not a small wig, would have to be big...

I like the idea of Seymour and Yuna...

Haha, same. I just want some more ideas because I'll have to fund (I'm making them but material costs are high) the two costumes if it's Yuna and Seymour as boyfriend doesn't really want to do him so the deal is he'll do it if I fund it.

I see... Hmm... Another one would be Bob Makihara(Because i like the style your boyfriend has with the dreads)

From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 1
牧原 Bob
Fighting Style: A style similar to Capoeira
Supernatural abilities: None
Current position: Bob is a member of the Jyuukenbu and a 1st year student
Father: Juan Rodriguez
Girlfriend: Kounoike Chiaki
About Bob: Bob is Souichirou's best friend, together they are the "Knuckle Bomb" Duo. At the moment he's training hard not to fall behind Souichirou and his exorcist abilities. The most important thing in life for Bob is his girlfriend Chiaki and he would do anything for her.
(Contributions by Dark_Harlequin)

and his girlfriend Chiaki Kounoike from the anime Tenjho Tenge.

But then again I havent seen them dressed in formal wear for a ball room getup.

From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 1
鴻池　千秋
Chiaki is Bob Makihara's girlfriend, and a normal student at a regular high school. She is beaten up and raped by Ryuuzaki Tsutomu as part of unauthorized retribution for Bob and Nagi's actions by the Enforcement Group. This sets the stage for encouraging Bob and Nagi to join the Jyuukenbu, and future conflicts with the Enforcement Group.

I like these two but I dont like what happened to them in both the anime and manga.

Has anyone else had a wedding ceremony ?

Sailor Moon would be one of the given choices but still its difficult.

Yeah, also the complexion problem. My boyfriend is very very pale and has blonde dreadlocks (though they look brunette in the photo) XD

I know

Though Squall and Rinoa is another one. Though they do goto to some Prom like ceremony.

Maybe you can keep the dreads and have it like Squall and Rinoa... Maybe a Dreads version of Squall, I have seen Squall done with different hairstyles... Or maybe change from Dreads to braids... Like Jeff Hardy has done from time to time in Several Wrestling appearances.

We can't undo his dreads, they are firmly knotted unfortunately =(

Yeah, not so keen on their outfits, too plain. Probably stick to Yuna and Seymour. I'm so difficult XD;

you could maybe consider Ranma and Akane from Ranma 1/2, they have a couple of eps where they wear fancy stuff:

wedding:

not actually sure what ep. this is from but looks cool:

romeo and juliet:

there's some other ones I couldn't find, like from the second movie, and one of the manga covers has her in a pink dress and him in a tux.
