I don't have much to say here yet, but I just thought someone should start a cosplay help thread. So basically if anyone needs suggestions for a costume post them and anyone with an answer or suggestion can reply. I know there are sites for it but if we can talk about it why not offer it here too.
If I can help i will, and if anyone else can feel free to add.

If anyone knows a good place to find non-zippered knee high woman's combat boots, in brown. . . .let me know. . . hopefully under $100 before shipping.
It's for a Meirin costume from Kuroshitsuji.

go to thrift stores and good will for potential cosplays :3

yeah, I visit my local thrift stores, but since I need ones without zippers it's really unlikely that I'll find them there.
