So why is it a lot of anime cosplay their materials don't look "real" when in real life? Like, they don't look like something someone would make for a consumer to be worn everyday. Even some school uniforms seem to sometimes make me squint in perplexity.

Because art doesn't have to obey common constraints like "is this physically possible" or "would this be wearable" and artists can just draw whatever strikes their fancy, and the whole point of cosplay outfits is that they end up looking like the art they're based off. People also make a lot of stuff from craft store material instead of necessarily using the same kind of materials that would go into making the clothes/outfit if it were a real outfit manufactured in real life, or make material and colour choices based on how something looks in art that is not actual real-life filmed footage.

On top of all of the above, lots of cosplayers take photos into consideration when making things. Some fabric types, paints, materials, and colors look better in photos than they do in real life. Given how we consume the art, it's often a prudent choice.

Keep in mind that cosplaying is an expensive hobby, even if you don't go all-out and start getting poo poo 3D printed for your costumes or whatever. An artist can perfectly tailor a character's outfit (and frequently do for aesthetic/storytelling purposes), whereas getting every piece to fit you like a glove might not be possible for your average cosplayer. Megan Coffey's Olivier upthread is a good example of this: it's pretty well put-together in terms of details, but it looks frumpy and wrinkled in a lot of places, which is a (totally understandable) consequence of not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars on custom-tailored stuff.

Yep! And very specifically, I'm pretty sure she bought that uniform because she really really didn't want to make it. She seems to enjoy making the custom stuff more.

Vermain posted:it's pretty well put-together in terms of details, but it looks frumpy and wrinkled in a lot of places, This goes right back to material choice again. Thin cheap bullshit will always look like thin cheap bullshit, and probably means you can't really iron it either. Some material will just never lay or fit right, and good luck fusing a collar. The Mikitaka just above looks like it was made with that metallicized spandex, which just makes the wrinkles look even worse when it's not something skin-tight (go figure the stuff is dirt cheap). Stretch materials are a great way to cheat a fit, but you always need non-stretch if you're trying to make a certain shape. Another issue is overblowing a color just because of how it appears in the art. Olivier's and Mikitaka's uniforms would be navy blue, but closer to black, just like Sakamoto's. They use a lot of blue in the official colorations because you'd just have an amorphous black blob otherwise (also, black ink is expensive, which is why Dick Tracy wore yellow). It goes back to cerulean being the only seemingly useful blue in a box of Crayolas, because I know I was a dumbshit kid who didn't understand lighting or contrast. If you're buying a China prefab costume, you're getting thin cheap bullshit in the most apparent overblown color, guaranteed. Vermain posted:consequence of not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars on custom-tailored stuff. When you're spending <$10/yard, the tailoring isn't the problem. What you run into is a sort of 'Practicality Uncanny Valley', where it looks okay but you know it'd never fit the real purpose or withstand day-to-day wear. Anime and manga just happen to be a source where practicality is already shaky. Goddamn I miss sewing real things. Ranzear fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jan 5, 2017 |

I know how you feel - I have many similar thoughts while choosing materials for my cosplays. But at a certain level, cosplay is about having fun. They have the costumes, they have fun taking photos and posing in the costumes, and cool. I'll then post the pictures in here.

Yeah that was the part I wanted to throw in but forgot: Do at least have fun. My ranting came mostly from that mention that cosplay is expensive because of tailoring, which is silly unless you've never sewn in your life and/or don't own a single machine. What might get expensive is materials that look, lay, and feel right, and cheap polyester that you can't even iron just makes everything harder. Currently trying to find a pattern or basic idea for how to do that weird cavalry uniform/nehru collar for my Nephrite, which I've been promising to do for years now.
