Hello, and welcome to my blog! I’m glad you found it. Just to let you know, I’m not an experienced cosplayer.
I’ve only done it a few times, but over the past few years, I’ve learned to do it right and how to not waste time or money on projects.

Before we jump into things, let’s go over some basic terms of cosplay.
Cosplay is short for costume play, which basically means dressing up as a fictional character from manga/anime or a video game or cartoon and acting as them for the day (or days). You can wear makeup, bring props that relate to your character, and even change your voice if need be.

Original Characters are characters that YOU make up! This is one of the easiest ways to start cosplaying because it doesn’t matter what they wear or look like… It’s all up to you! If you’re new to cosplay, this might be the best option for you.
The Daphne costume is an iconic cosplay for conventions. The costume includes a light blue and white dress, with a large red scarf. For those that do not know, the Daphne costume is from the television show Scooby Doo. Daphne is one of the main characters of the show, and her iconic look has inspired many cosplayers to recreate their own version of the outfit for their next convention. Here is a step by step guide on how to make your own Daphne costume.
The first step in this process is to find an image online that you can use as a reference while constructing your prop. A good place to start would be Google Images. You may find some images that you can use as references on sites like DeviantArt or other artist websites. There are also some items that you can purchase online, such as patterned leggings or tights, which will work well for this costume.
The next step is to create your own pattern for this project. You will need to use a piece of paper and a pencil in order to do this step correctly. Draw out a rough outline of what your pattern will look like using the picture above as a guide.
