How To Create A Sephiroth Cosplay Outfit

A Sephiroth cosplay costume is something to be cherished, admired, and even worshiped. A fantastic costume can also help you out in the case of terrible acting ability. But to dress as the world's most worshiped white hair, black trenchcoat, evil-villian is a sacred privilege not to be taken lightly. A poor costume is a disgrace to my name, and you will be mocked, laughed at, and perhaps even tortured (if I catch you).

1. The Black Trenchcoat is the centrally most recognizable piece of the cosplay. It is imperative that this piece look as authentic as possible. Try to get in touch with a local seamstress to have yours done professionally, and fit to your body size. A perfectly-fitting trenchcoat adds buku bonus points to your overall appearance. Remember to find something like black vinyl material, which closely replicates the real thing.

2. The should pads should never be neglected either, but they are the most frequently under-emphasized part. The shape and size don't necessary need to be exact this time, but the material is of paramount important. Having shoulder pads (called pouldrons) made of a hard, metallic material, preferably real metal, will dramatically increase the appeal of your outfit.

3. Sephiroth's knee-high boots are next on the list. Remembering that knee-high boots of this style are difficult to come by, you could settle on a variety of potential replacements. You can find tall, uni-sex boots at Hot Topic, for example. You may have to search a variety of specialty stores if you don't have a Hot Topic, or ask a genuine cobbler to make yours.

4. The sword is probably the most important accessory of any costume. If you are calling yourself Sephiroth, but don't have the length to back up that claim, you disgrace my glorious name.
