Let's be honest... many costume designs just DON'T exist in real life. You aren't going to find the perfect commercial pattern for that unusual military jacket, that huge collar, or that gravity-defying gown. Normal people don't wear giant horns or try to strap life-sized wings to their backs.

But then again, very few people have ever accused cosplayers of being normal.

That's why we've put together this collection of tutorials -- to help others learn from our experiments! We've compiled solutions to a few of the trickier problems we've encountered, and the ones we've received the most questions about from other cosplayers. We've also occasionally documented what not to do and why!

We hope these prove useful to other cosplayers. If you have a question, don't be shy!
