I even broke a personal rule of sorts and pitched a couple bucks to a cosplay fundraiser to help them repair their poo poo. I mean seriously.

EmmyOk posted:The Gabranth one is cool as heck Yeah, the amounts of love and effort that went into that are very apparent. I hope they're able to somehow salvage/repair at least some of the costumes that were damaged

You can probably get a rider from your current insurance company that covers the appraised value of each costume (some places call these individual coverages "floaters"). A normal renters policy will only pay out the cost of materials minus depreciation, and I can tell you (very bitterly) from experience that proving even those costs in a way that the company will accept is an uphill battle

I skimmed their Facebook but didn't see them ever say, did they hire actual contractors or what? I feel like there's more to the story besides they hired legitimate contractors and they put a hole in the roof and played with all their poo poo. But maybe that's a thing that happens in France?

I got the impression that work was being done, the roof collapsed, and maybe the contractors threw poo poo around to make sure no one was trapped under the rubble, but there's not enough information in either posting to tell what all happened except some cool costumes got hosed.

I made sure of this when I got mine. Cause if it was only cost of materials and my house burned down, I'd get owned on the 100s of hours I have into my project car.

How do you even store costumes like this? I don't imagine you can just hang them up in your closet or something.

C-Euro posted:How do you even store costumes like this? I don't imagine you can just hang them up in your closet or something. A complex system of plastic sheeting, soft foam, and big tubs. Plus hangars and a lot of closet space for the no-fold cloth pieces. Also a lot of cosplay getups are still not constructed with longevity in mind, which can mean your choice of awkward storage, big drycleaning bills, or costumes that fall apart more and more every year (until you cave and spend almost a grand remaking them, that is).

Rubbermaid bins for most of mine, we have steel shelving set up in our storage locker. My wall is also covered in props and banners at this point, and my StarCraft marine lives on a stand in my bedroom at the foot of my bed. This one is actually my friend's, but the setup is about the same.

I know this one's probably Cecil, but when I first saw it I instead thought of Alternis Dim, and I was very happy. I'll have to ask a friend of mine for links to some of the Bravely Default cosplays he somehow just accrues pictures of. I loved those designs so much. EDIT: vv FFIV wasn't one of my favorite Final Fantasies, you might be able to tell. Cleretic has a new favorite as of 18:07 on Jul 9, 2015 |
