Cosplay boots covers? newbie in need
« on: October 20, 2012, 09:14:05 PM »
I'm attending a toy convention in nov 10, and I will shoe my MH dolls and my ponies.   :frolic:

But I'm also cosplaying for the first time, and is going to be as signature Draculaura , I already have the wig, makeup, unmbrella (going to one similar to school out) , and the clothes, the tailor is now making the last adjustments of it.  :lovey:

Now I just need the boots  :lookround: , but I want to make them as boot covers using foam like the ones in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S75sBreyMjw&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLdbVnE2E3ohMAA2bp7NmBuw

Since this is my first experience wit this job, I want to know what is better to use? velcro or zippers?

I already cut the side patters based in a cowboy boots I own, but I im my mind my plan is to use zippers in the backside and I'm not sure what is best for the front.

But I have this possibility: to add another zipper in the middle front of the boot, and for the "tongue" part to use velcro, the tongue would have already the black laces on, so it only will stick over to hide the front zipper.

And for the cris cross black large laces on the feet part is to add them wit a velcro to secure the piece over the shoe that's under it.

Well, that's what I have in mind, but remember, I don't have any experience making this or even wit cosplay, so any suggestion, advice or tip will be thankfull.  ^.^

Maybe you should ask a Mod to move this topic to the Dollhouse?  It might help to get as many people as possible to see it, not just "MH people."  I don't know.  It may help:)
I won't be checking this site anymore for messages.  If you need me, you can contact me at the MHArena :bigups:
