Hello, I hope this is the right place for this, and that I don't step on anybody's toes by posting this. Feel free to point me in the right direction if this isn't appropriate.
I'm going to Armageddon tomorrow, and I really want to dress up. I've left it a bit late, though, and I'm forced to cobble together a costume from old costumes in the past. Can anyone think of an anime/cartoon character that wears a short blue dress? Preferably with ears and a tail, but since most characters appear in cat-girl form at some point, I figure I can get away with it even if they don't usually have them. I'm a pretty fast sewer, so I could add on a few alterations or accessories if I needed to.
Even if I can't find an anime that matches my costume, I'll probably dress up anyway, because I love doing it. I'd appreciate any ideas, though.
The thing with cosplay is that even at an anime convention, you don't have to stick strictly to anime characters. Many people use video games, comic books, and movies as inspiration. Since Alice in Wonderland is a big thing now, you could find a blonde wig and do a Disney Alice, or you could go for a darker look with American McGee's Alice.
