Cosplay Help?

[taco-grell.livejournal.com]

First time poster, so please excuse my weird question...

I'm planning to cosplay Lithuania, but I'm not sure if I would be able to find an outfit similar to his in my size. I'm a Little Person, and 4'2, so finding stuff is difficult...Does anyone know if there might be a place or a way to find something like his outfit in a size that could fit me? Do you think Surplus stores would have children's sizes? Or would I have to special order it or go to like, a halloween store or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you in advance!

(I hope my tags are right >_<)

Most surplus stores I've been to have stuff in child sizes, but I think the best thing to do would be to call ahead everywhere. Good luck!

If you do not have any luck at a Surplus store I suggest checking out websites by googling for childrens army uniforms or what-not.
If worse comes to worse, commission someone! (:
Goodluck ~

Ooh... yeah thats going to be tough to find... Army clothing generally isn't made for small people or children. I had alot of trouble finding anything for my cosplay and Im 4'10"

What I ended up doing was getting a suit coat at good will and modifying it myself to fit and look more like a military uniform.

Ugh. I feel your pain. Little Person, 4'10", and I'm finding it hard to get stuff for a Lithuania cosplay.

If you find anything, could you let me know? I don't wanna seem like i'm just using you, but I don't have options yet...

[khaosdarkness7.livejournal.com]

Totally! If you could do the same for me, that'd be appreciated.

No problem!

If you can, I'd find a tailor or clothing designer or something, but that depends on your budget and where you live. I had someone, but they bailed on me.

What's your budget? I'm cosplaying Lithuania too, but I'm just gonna buy my uniform online because my free time is limited...

[taco-grell.livejournal.com]

I don't really have a budget, (Parental units for helping ftw) But I think I'm gonna check online if I can't find any in surplus stores.

That's a good idea, and if you can't find anything in the end, you could request it on Cosplay.com, as lilmirokufan stated.

Or you could try COS00. I'm getting mine from there. This is the one I'm getting:

My budget it around $100, so this is actually pretty good for me.

I absolutley feel your pain. i'm 4ft 9 ^_^ If you're any good at sewing I'd say just make it. it would probably be pretty easy to find a pattern and alter it. if you're not my only other suggestion is to get it commisioned. You can do this on the marketplace at cosplay.com or you can google search for a commissioner. Hope this helps! <3
