Opinions needed
« on: July 12, 2013, 03:26:29 AM »
Last week I made a topic about my Vanellope Von Schweets cosplay and how to make my led lights shine brighter. One of the forum members suggested buying better lights. I went with her idea, and bought two el wire lights. They shine beautifully, but are very dull under the fabric. I was thinking of giving in and stuffing my jacket with the led lights then attaching the el wire to the outside of the jacket and skirt of the cosplay.I wanted to get the cute glitch affect that Vanellope has in the movie.

 I just wanted to know if anyone would think that lights outside of the cosplay would look tacky. They are magenta when they are off, light blue when they are on, and would be attached to a mint green jacket and a brown skirt.


I am sorry if this post sounds a little off. I was up all night trying to finish off some of my cosplay and now I am too tired to write properly.

I suppose it would depend on what you were going for. It seems they'd be rather visible against green and brown.

I'd have to see it to make a decision either way.

What if you attached them to the outside hoodie, but covered over them with transparent ribbon in a color that closely matches the hoodie?  If the ribbon is close enough in color it should help mask the lights a bit, and if it is transparent enough it should disperse the light nicely when they are on. When the lights are off it will look like there is a subtle pinstripe where the lights are hidden... just an idea as I don't and have never cosplayed.

Are you trying to go for a solid line?  I know I've used 20 light strands before with wires between the lights, and the wires blend in pretty well against anything, because they're so thin.

Sorry about the late reply. This was posted a day before the con, so I was too busy to respond or show WIP pictures. I went with BlondePonyTail's idea and used a transparent ribbon. The results were amazing, and some people liked the affect. Unfortunately, I don't have any con pictures. :(

Thanks for the help everyone!
