Hi-Ho, this is The Captain's little sister. I was hoping for a little bit of help for my costume. You see for next years Sugoicon (which is a little known convition in Kentucky.) I plan to go as either Lilia, Feena or Reah. The problem is I am unsure as to the kind of cloth to use for the costume. I'm not even which character to go as. Please help me.
Oh! And Sugoicon will be next October most likely, so I have time.
Thank you.

How would I make the sandals?
Also...
Looking at that picture makes me sad that Lilia is the only one of thoughs figures that we don't have.

Cosplay eh? I love to see one of those. I've went to a few anime conventions, and I've only seen a guy with red hair claim to be Adol. I'd love to see a Ys cosplayer. Haha.

Well come to Sugoicon next year and you will see one.
I guess I could just buy the right kind of sandals and make the upper bit of them that go around the legs.
Then again how would I keep them up with out hurting my legs?

Holographic 4 way stretch PVC!!!! </kidding>
The Ys Eternal versions of Feena and Lair have really simple dresses. I'm sure there's a easy pattern. Both costumes look light, breezy and not shiny. A light weight cotton knit or twill should work perfectly as well as be easy to work with and inexpensive.
What'd realy make Feen and Lair expensive costumes is getting a good wig that long.
Edit: for the love of god, DO NOT USE SATIN!

Hmmmm. You make alot of sense.
But I have to ask. What would I give away to people who know who I'm cosplaying or who are just really cool if I go as Feena?
As Lair The Captain says I could give out mini Kazoos.
Actually what would I give away if I went as Lilia?

And Feena... er... gave out fanservice. Heh, I guess what'd really make the Feena costume would be the wig and the pendant. The pendant would be a distinguishing feature of both Feena and Lair. The harmonica is more important for a proper Lair costume, though.

You to make much sense.
As feena I could give out Hershey's kisses or something to represent her sweet side? Maybe? I don't know, why is she so confusing? >= (
If I were to go as Lilia I would have to give out some thing other then apples. Apples are heavy and cost a lot too.

Do you really have to give out something? I have no idea how this works, so maybe you do. Anyway, Reah is the best character ever. Needs to be cosplayed.

Simple solution: something apple-shaped or apple jolly ranchers.

I've been cosplaying for many years, and I've never given anyone anything except permission to take my picture. ...but, if you really wanted to give people a treat for knowing who you are, and you go as Lilia, I think that apple candies such as the suggested jolly ranchers would be a great idea. You could carry a basket of fake apples as a prop, and have the candies underneath them.

Unless you planned on wearing Feena or Lair more than once, I'd get good quality wig. The good stuff isn't that much more expensive and it's a bargain when you consider taht the cheap crap barely lasts a single use. One of the best mail order wig shops out there is Cyperous.com. It's a Japanese site but there's a translation for it here: haruna.delbiter.com/translations/cyperous/

First to Seldane & Harlock. Me giving things out goes back to my first cosplay ever as Rydia. I gave people pennies Because I had no use for them. Well every year since then I make it a point to hand out some thing to show my gratitude to everyone.
Now to Majuunun thank you for the great wig site that was very kind of you, so thank you very much.
Oh! I almost for got Seldane there is a half decent Reah cosplayer on Cosplay Lab.
Just Google Cosplay Lab & do a character search for Reah. I'd link it but I have not had any sleep almost 37 hours so....no.
Thank you everyone even though I still have no idea who I am going to cosplay. /-(

Forgive me for this Saldane.
I think I will go as Lilia!
It would make since for her to have an Adol-roo.
But if that does not work out for some reason Then I Will go as Reah to make Saldane happy. Because there is not enough Reah love out there.

Would someone happen to know where I might be able to Lilia's face plates from Ys eternal?
Face plates = The pictures of her that were in the game.
Thank you to any for any help with this bit. =)
