Cosplay Commissions <3
What better time than the present to do things you’ve always wanted to do, right? I just found out this morning that the company i work for has been dissolved. We don’t know yet if it could be a couple of weeks or a couple of months until we’re out, but it was a pretty big surprise. Seems like no more fitting of a time for me to leap with all my heart into some cosplay commissions. This is not a cry for pity or of desperation, it’s about doing something i’ve always been dreaming to do, but didn’t have the time. It’s going to be a bit scary going forward, but I’m extremely excited to do this. If you do want to signal boost my post, I’d appreciate it deeply! <3
About my commissions~
I’ve been cosplaying since 2009, but costuming my whole life hehe <3 I am also a trained seamstress with a bachelors degree in fashion design c: You can be sure that if you commission me- you will receive a well made costume that will last and look beautiful! I am comfortable working with many different fabrics, including PVC and spandex. I specialize in sewing of course, but I also make jewelry, foam and sculpted accessories, certain footwear, wings, and do certain wig styling (depending on if i can personally deliver it to you). Here are some examples~
(my full ACP is here)
So, if you want to commission me- more details under the cut <3<3
There are a few things I need from you in order to make our commission partnership work! c: I must request that you live in either the NYC, Philadelphia, or surrounding area, or be able to get there! In almost all cases, I *need* to do at least one fitting with you! In some cases, maybe not- but for most cosplays, this is highly necessary! Also, if you are for whatever reason unable to take your own measurements, we can work it out to do that together! Once I give you a quote, payment can be split into installments, but I need at least one deposit made before I buy any fabric. Payments are by Paypal only. My prices will be fair for the materials and work put into them! I also have to note here that I reserve the right to decline any commission requests. I hope this isn’t an obvious additional point- but do not wear my commissions and say you made it. That’s not cool, dude! Hmm… not sure if I’m forgetting anything else xD
The earliest date that I am offering completed cosplays for is September (unless in a special case you are asking for something very simple). I apologize and hope that I am not shooting myself in the foot for this- but there simply isn’t enough time to finish new commissions by Otakon! That said, I’m currently open to taking 3-4 commissions depending on the complexity! I will take them as a first come, first accepted basis. Please contact me by email at (stephanieelise . design @ gmail . com) I will be away this weekend, so i’ll reply to all emails on Monday! <3 Remember, no date is too far away~ If you want to commission something for January for example, go ahead hehe!!

Sorry this post was so long winded haha. Business things are admittedly pretty new to me! Anyway, I truly hope I can help to make some cosplay dreams come true <3 Feel absolutely free to send me any of your ideas for a price estimate! Serious inquiries are appreciated, but initial emails are not binding ^u^
