Engtaobao Wig Review

AHA MY INTERNET IS BACK AND I CAN FINALLY POST THIS REVIEW AHHHHHHHAHA~


yeah okay.

ANYWAY, I recently got my wig for my Nanami Chiaki cosplay and i'm pretty hype since it was my first time ordering from engtaobao and let me tell, I. Was. Terrified.

But after the many days of being paranoid i had a splendid experience and the item actually arrived very quickly.

First off, I've honestly never received a wig in a wrapped box, I thought it was pretty fancy compared to other wigs that i have purchased (and probably paid more for) in the past.

 And what was even more fancy was that it came with that round wig thing [?] that kept the wig in place...Honestly if shipping these wigs in wasn't so damn expensive i would stop buying on ebay completely.

AWESOME WIG IN LIGHTING PICTURES!

 Now that i have a wig head wig pictures are 10000000% easier to take.

with crappy desk lighting

with normal daylight

With flash on

Back of the wig with flash off.

I also recently went out with this wig on to give it a test run and to cut the bangs

So that was a thing.

All together the wig was a cheap price [$15 doe talk about saving da moneys] and shipping costs weren't horribly expensive like i had expected [like $13]. For a whopping $28 total for this very character specific wig. 

Edit: I have found the wig after alot of scrolling through the dangan ronpa cosplay tag looking for the specific store. Nanami Wig can be found right here.

&

The Specific store other cosplay things can be bought from.

I cannot find the link for the website right now but once i find it i will update the post.

Will i purchase with engtaobao again? HELL YEAH, and maybe even from the same store that i purchased the wig from just in bulk next time c; . 

Anyway that's my review on this wig i'll see you guys next time, 

Peace out sailor scouts!

Mastermind! AU Chihiro progress

Spent my weekend sewing with motherkin, to work on some cosplays for a mini-con this summer

If you have played/ read the walkthrough of dangan ronpa and are a regular on tumblr than the Mastermind AU shouldn't be new to you.
It's an interesting take on the characters of Dangan Ronpa and after scrolling though the AU's tag i chose penccils' Mastermind Chihiro design.

Saturday afternoon was when we started on the jacket and since we were basing it off of one picture, we kinda had to trust our Spanish instincts.

After trying to get the collar as accurate as possible, the next morning i ended up purchasing a pointed collar pattern off of etsy.

Winging it gets hard sometimes...

Next we started my favorite and surprisingly most frustrating part...

THE BLOOMERS

Let me tell you i love these things already 

after finally agreeing on a way to draw the pattern these babies were born

Even though i look like i have a butt i'm very happy with how its turning out

The extra fabric that had been building up in my room is being put to good use.

I'm very excited to work on props and accessories next

see ya later!
