Cosplay help - Gypsy Pinkie Pie


MyLittlePonyTales

Recommended Posts

Hey all! So, I was thinking of going as Gypsy Pinkie Pie for Halloween. But I need help locating the items for the cosplay! I am taking suggestions on what you think would go well with the outfit, as well as suggestions for places to purchase the items I need.

Hair - Wig, of course. Need help finding a good place to get a good quality Pinkie Pie style wig.

Ears - Not to heavy, but durable and good looking.

Earrings - Dangly ones, of course, perhaps in a moon shape.

Shirt - I don't know what to do for this yet.

Pants - I was thinking a belly dancer type skirt, with the bangles and things.

Tail - Either a good place to buy a tail, or a wig that would work suitably.

Accessories - Tambourine, purple scarf with gold edges,

Alright, let's do this! I shall provide pictures when the cosplay is finished.

GimmCat on Etsy is notorious for great prices, beautiful wigs, and ears that sustain. A close friend bought a wig of hers last halloween, to cosplay as Twilight Sparkle.

Here's her Pinkie Pie wig, it's $95: http://www.etsy.com/...osplay-wig-pink

If that's too expensive, here's a much cheaper one that could look great with styling: http://www.ebay.com/...&prg=1005&rk=2

As for the earrings, that's my specialty! I just may be able to make you some custom ones, if thats of interest to you.

I'd recommend the cheaper one and making the ears out of foam or something. Or maybe even something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuchsia-Pink-cat-kitty-headband-kawaii-cosplay-kitten-ears-hair-band-costume-/200803683230?pt=US_Hair_Accessories&hash=item2ec0d50b9e#ht_1941wt_1163

I am not craft orientated and will not make anything myself. I will also not style a wig. Kthx. ;-)

WRRRYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!

Well that makes this harder for you. Especially for specific designs like the scarf... Anyways, some thoughts...

Here's a belly dancer's scarf: http://www.amazon.com/Handmade-Belly-Dance-Purple-Lively/dp/B003VY9BK2/ref=pd_sim_misc_14, cheap and well reviewed. It's a darkish shade of purple, which is what we want for a pink as pink as Pinkie's pink.

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Cotton-Stretch-Jegging-Leggings/dp/B007PIX20A/ref=sr_1_3?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1346711274&sr=1-3&keywords=pink+jeans These are cotton, which works better for a 'ponyish' feel than denim jeans. I do recommend pants, unless you want to start stacking skirts of different colors. It'll keep the cost down and still be a pretty casual and nice 'Pinkie' look.

http://www.amazon.com/Next-Level-Apparel-Comfort-Crewneck/dp/B004OWONCQ/ref=sr_1_63?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1346711672&sr=1-63&keywords=pink+shirt This is a tee, shades essentially the same as the pants. I should explain my thought process with the clothes a bit: rather than going for a full gypsy look, I'm envisioning gypsy 'accessories' on top of more casual clothing. It seems like the way a human Pinkie might wear it. And again, it keeps the cost down. Shirts and pants be cheaper than dresses upon dresses.

For the cutie mark, the simplest method would be sticker paper and pngs of Pinkie's cutie mark. Since you're using knits for both shirt and pants, the stickers should be more or less fine as cutie marks.

The scarf is going to be difficult if you want to keep it show accurate. I recommend you get it commissioned.

And what's your upper budget, may I ask?

If you have any Spirit Halloweens in your area, or Party Citys, you should be able to find lots of gypsy props. I've been doing some halloween shopping, and it wont be difficult to find the items you need

Also, this belt is pretty freaking cute http://www.buycostumes.com/Gold-Coin-Chain-Adult-Belt/70038/ProductDetail.aspx

I think it could use more curls, but thanks for the recommendation. I think the Ebay one was too light, and I... wouldn't really trust Ebay for a wig.

As for the earrings, that's my specialty! I just may be able to make you some custom ones, if thats of interest to you.

Have any examples?

Heh, those don't look high quality or even like horse ears.

Here's a belly dancer's scarf: http://www.amazon.co...=pd_sim_misc_14, cheap and well reviewed. It's a darkish shade of purple, which is what we want for a pink as pink as Pinkie's pink.

Yep, pretty close to what I'm looking for.

Those are awesome! Thanks! Aw, no small? :/ Well, at least I have the idea in my head now!
