>>8684990In the manga, the straps and boots were black. Fun fact, Mikasa's scarf was also black. I've been tempted to do a manga-accurate version, but I know I would get shat on at cons so I'm just sticking the regular uniform every once in awhile.
I'm an AoT cosplayer, but I have to agree, some of it has to stop... I don't even mind store-bought (as long as it's taobao and not that Hot Topic bullshit) because I will admit half of mine is bought because I'm a pretty crappy seamstress and can only make simple things. But I modded my harnesses to hell and back to make them look nice, meanwhile some people won't even bother even ATTEMPTING to keep them up. And seeing cosplayers without the harness kills me a little everytime I see it. Just... Please, put some effort in people.
Pretty much everything I said above for lovelive, also. I have a friend who's also really into and she helps me make some stuff, but other things we decide to buy since we're doing a large group of 5-9 girls.
