Cosplayers like to thrift

 11/5/2014

When Wizard World arrives in Tulsa this weekend, cosplayers will come out, well, to play.

The con’s costume contest is Saturday evening. Before then, cosplayers will walk the halls dressed as their favorite character, showcasing a wide variety of styles, themes and levels of complexity. And they're happy to pose for photos.

Many cosplayers create their captivating costumes from scratch, even using items bought at Goodwill and other thrift shops.

There are devotees to “cosplay thrift,” posting their imaginative designs on deviantart, Tumblr, and Pinterest (you could easily get lost looking at all the great images, just saying).

Cosplayers love to share their process as well, with some offering tips, tutorials and how-tos.

Anyone interested in participating in the costume contest can sign-up Saturday at the Wizard World Tulsa information booth (#615) and there is no restriction on what material is used or where it came from for costumes. A panel, “Costumes + Playing = Cosplay! So What Does That Actually Mean?” is scheduled for Friday evening.

So, cosplayers should have a lot of playtime this weekend.
