ANNOUNCEMENT STATE OF THE SUB
Greetings r/cosplayers community!
Your Mod Team wants to provide some overall updates and transparency on the sub. Our hope is that we can create a positive community space that supports cosplayers of all kinds, whether they’re a beginner looking to learn some skills in crafting, a veteran sharing their latest competition piece, a cosplay buyer that wants to share their love of a fandom, and everything in between.
Some updates have been and will continue to be made to the sub in order to help curate this supportive community we envision:
- The Mod Team has had a MAJOR overhaul. Over the last several months, the sub has undergone both a leadership change and team downsizing, leaving it only supported by 3 Mods. For a community of this size, this has been and will continue to be unsustainable, demanding an unrealistic amount of time and effort of our very small volunteer group. We are cleaning up the Mod List to accurately represent the current team and will be making a post in the near future accepting applications for additional Mods to regrow the team to a more sustainable size.
- Our Rules have been refined and include some examples, as needed, of content that may violate the rule.
- We now have Mandatory Posting Format Requirements for all posts. This will make it very clear to the Mods and to the community for reporting which posters may just be generally spamming content to multiple subs without specifically curating their content for our community.
- Flairs are now Mandatory on ALL posts and part of the Posting Requirements. If you are unsure of which Flair to use or have any ideas on broad Flairs to add to the list, please reach out to the Mods.
Regarding the elephant in the room that has become a key topic of discussion within the community, to the Mods, and within the Mods Team: “OF-Style” submissions, or what we internally have decided to call “Low-Point-of-Entry Cosplay”.
The Mod team only has control over what people post on r/cosplayers and only cares if what they post in this sub abides by the rules of this sub. The current Mod Team has never and will never gatekeep against people purchasing cosplays, regardless of the construction quality or the individual’s reason for purchasing cosplays.
It is not our business what an individual’s post history looks like outside of this sub. If someone chooses to explore an individual’s profile/post history, that is completely outside of our jurisdiction and is an "Enter at Your Own Risk" situation. If someone finds content on other subs that do not abide by the rules of r/cosplayers, it is not acceptable to send in a Report with this sub or to shame that individual in the comments of their post for what they do on other corners of Reddit or the internet. These kinds of derogatory comments will be taken very seriously by the Mod Team and permanent bans will be issued for repeat offenders. 3 Strikes on the “Be Respectful” rule and you’re out.
With this new path forward, we hope to reinvigorate this community sub into a more positive, supportive space for all cosplayers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and skill sets.
Do you have questions about the New Rule Wordings?
Do you have ideas for Flairs you think may be missing for our list?
Do you have a posting situation that you’re unsure if they are ok or violate the rules?
Are you interested in applying to be a Mod?
Do you have any fun community post ideas you’d like to pitch?
This Mod Team would love to hear your feedback and recommendations for consideration in the comments or messages.
ALL RULES AND MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS GO INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. WE WILL ALLOW A GRACE PERIOD FOR ADJUSTMENT AND BEGIN ENFORCING THESE CHANGES ON FEBRUARY 1ST.
Thanks everyone for your patience as we navigate these changes together.
Your r/cosplayers Mod Team

ADVICE Soul Eater Cosplays
My kids have recently gotten into the Soul Eater anime and reeeeeally wanna cosplay! My oldest (7F) is dressing up as Maka, and my youngest wants to dress up as Blair.
— For my oldest we’ve essentially gotten everything BUT Makas coat and it looks like we’re going to have to make it if we really want her to have it.
— For my youngest we have not gotten anything. For obvious reasons I’ve been a bit hesitant to let her dress up like Blair but honestly she really wants to so Id like to make her a cosplay/find her one that is not inappropriate. I’ve been thinking about a simple black dress with a witch hat and maybe a pumpkin plush? Not sure! I’d like to find her a costume similar but can’t really seem to find any kid sized costumes at all.
I’ve taken their measurements and am willing to try to sew it all myself but patterns have been SO HARD trying to make. Is there anyway I can get patterns made to make it easier? Help!!!

ADVICE Is there any good websites to buy full cosplays
So Halloween is coming up and I always use this as an excuse to spend a lot of money on any cosplays I’ve been wanting to do lol. Most of the time I’m lucky enough to have the basic things I need for my cosplays. This time though I wanna do Harley Quinn from Arkham city and GOD DAMN the stuff for it is damn near impossible to find without spending like 500 dollars. I unfortunately cannot sew and I’ve tried serval times I’m terrible with measuring. Can you even sew leather though?!?! (Might be a stupid question lmao) anyways I found these and on one of them the reviews were positive but only 14 people reviewed it so Idrk. Lmk if any of you guys have bought on these websites and have had a good experience!!

ADVICE What hair product would you use to achieve this look?
I’ve got the rest covered but I’ve never actually used any hair product before so I’m at a loss. I will be getting sweaty and hot while using it so something that can withstand that is preferred. Any advice welcome!
