what is cosplay
"Cosplay...a contraction (or portmanteau) of the English words "costume" and "play", is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu, and video games, and, less commonly, Japanese live action television shows, fantasy movies, or Japanese pop music bands. However, in some circles, "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume."
Cosplaying provides a glorious excuse to use your noggin to figure out how to bring a 2-D rendering to life in 3-D form. It is an invaluable tool to learn how to construct a garment; it is about analyzing and using your own experience to duplicate a costume that was once without seams, zippers, or dimensional form.
