I loved everything about my costume the first year I did it except the wig. I bought it at the last minute online and it looked terrible and cheap like it was taken off an oversized Barbie. I refused to even wear it at all for most of the con. So if you need a wig for your costume, I would suggest paying a little extra for it. This year my hair was perfect for the character so I didn't need a wig, and it worked out a lot better.

I would've done the same... I've seen so many tragic cosplays from bad wigs... I'm willing to pay a lot of money to actually decent. Fortunately, the wig I need is only $25 AUD.

I'm growing my hair so I don't need to wear wigs, but it won't be long enough until layer this year. I regret cutting it short...

Well, I mainly carry it if I need to use it as, for example, a tool such as cutting
a string, rope, and more. Kind of like using a hammer as a tool. But I can use
it for defence if need be, hopefully I'll never have to do that.

Don't you think that's a bit dangerous to carry a knife around on the rare off chance that you need to cut a rope?

Anyway, isn't going to a convention an expensive trip? I mean just getting in
without including motel/hotel fees and food and such.
