Cosplay costume help

[keychains]

This year I'm going to ACEN, but I can't find anything on how to make your own Roy costume... Does anybody know how or know where I could find out?

*If anyone else wants/needs help with costumes, you can post here too.*

Military costumes aren't the easiest things to make...the jacket is a pain!! Do you have experience in sewing? Because the best advice I can give you is to find a pattern that can be relatively easily altered into the jacket, and go from there.

But if not, you can actually find pretty inexpensive ones around online now...it might be cheaper and less stressful to just buy one of those and alter it if need be!

Actually... my mom can sew well enough, but she's not seamstress enough to take in a bought costume... I'm so tiny... it's really not fair...

Actually, you can get one from a seller on Ebay who has them made to your measurements. I think I'm going to get one through them and alter the pants into a miniskirt. They're like, $100 after shipping, but I think that's worth it.

I mean, I've paid like, $60 for those crappy costumes from the Spirit stores. You know, the ones that are made of that stretchy material.. yeah..

Plus, these ones seem to look good too:
