Fluttershy Wig Help

[starrypawz]

So I'm thinking of maybe doing a Fluttershy cosplay and of course that means one big issue.
Finding a wig, (and of course probably a tail, unless I decide to go tailless)
Now I found this shop which has a 'Fluttershy wig' and also has an option for a tail:http://thefivewits.net/2010/06/secret-angel-princess-princess/
But at the same time, I don't really want to buy from a US seller if I can help it even though this seller doesn't seem to have a really high shipping rate. But if I could find something similar from the UK that would be helpful.

EDIT: I found this wig, but I'm still not sure: http://www.coscraft.co.uk/en/coscraft-wigs/82-betony-in-salmon-pink-mix.html

What about making one? All you would need is the cap and the ability to rehair

Or dying one? I imagine the styling could be tricky then though.

The one you linked to is pretty!

Oh, the colour of that wig is super nice. It's not entirely show accurate, but you're a person dressing up as a pony, that's not show accurate, either!

I admit, I don't think I have the skills to pull of making or dying a wig properly. Taking a closer look on the site, I think I actually found a better match for her

Coscraft is an awesome UK cosplay site The wigs from there are really good quality and the people who run it are really nice too Of course if you're not 100% happy with that wig, always try ebay There's a lot of sellers in china that sell loads of wigs. Some are of pretty poor quality, but i have quite a lot of saved sellers on there that i go to for my cosplay wigs I'd be more than happy to PM you some usernames over if you'd like ^_^

Also I'm cosplaying as Fluttershy later this year ^_^

For my Fluttershy tail, I used a pack of pink wig extentions. They come packaged similar to the way MLP tails are made (minus the metal clamp in the middle). So I just attach that to a wide elastic band that goes underneath the costume (good idea to put a heavy snaps in the middle too, so that it's easy to put on and take off), and leave a finished hole in the back seam to slip the tail through. I don't think the company I buy my exentions through ships internationally, but I'm sure you'd be able to get them in the UK, as they're often used by cosplayers. n_n;

But it's a better option than paying for a whole wig, or some expensive tail from Etsy that is just going to get horribly tangled. The extentions run about $3-4 USD each, so it shouldn't be too different elsewhere.

I used 2 for my tail, but 1 works fine too, because it WILL get tangled, and you might end up pulling some out to get it detangled. D:

Woo, from what I could see they looked like a good site. I posted about this on LJ and someone pointed me to a site where I can get big extention bundles and it looks like I can get the right, or a similar colour for quite cheap.

Also, did some searching today and found a light yellow hoodie in New Look that looks perfect for a FS cosplay, they also had yellow denim but not in my size.
