Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

Part Two: Casual Cosplay

In the last post about cosplaying everyday, I talked about featuring parts of a previous cosplay but you can also do something called casual cosplay. You can do this by wearing your normal clothes and a wig or you can do this following these steps:

STEP ONE:
Pick a character and figure out what generally makes up their outfit. As an example, through this post I will be using the character Link (from the Legend of Zelda franchise). He has a green tunic, baggy, tan leggings (oh, I can hear the controversy), some brown boots, a few brown belts, a green elf-hat, some brown pouches, and brown gloves. (He also has a sword and a shield and stuff but because those don't make up his outfit, we aren't going to focus on them.)
STEP TWO:
Don't make anything. Casual cosplay is supposed to be cheep and use everyday clothing. What you wanna do, is find articles of clothing that are similar to these things. They can be from your own wardrobe, ebay, or a the clearance rack at your favorite store depending on your "budget." After I browsed ebay for about ten minutes, these are things (down at the end of this post) that I found on ebay that are similar to his actual wardrobe.

STEP THREE:
Put it all together and you have a casual cosplay. You aren't featuring anything like how I explained in the last post, but rather suggesting a character with similar clothing choices.
