chibi romano cosplay help

[tsukisprite.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'm planning to go as chibi romano for a anime con...I have done so last year but I kept on getting mistaken for chibitalia since my outfit well..did look like his except it was shorter sleeves.....This year however I want to do something different. I want to wear pants instead of a skirt since I'm really short on time due to school. The only problem is that I don't know exactly what to do...And I really don't want to wear his anime outfit....because the color combination kind of made my eyes bleed......

Any suggestions? ^^. Thanks.

There was an small what looked to be scrapped pic H-sensei did of Chibi Roma where he had like brown pants, white top and apron. You can either scroll thorugh his old blog posts, or, if you give me some time (I have to run off to an exam soonish-and yet I'm on here. Priorities I have them) And I can find it from where I saved it and upload.

Alternatively you could go with the fandom idea that his maid dress is pink (one that I go by because yanno, in the past pink was a boys colour after all)

But don't worry, people do tend to screw up on recognising people. Sigh, try being in fully military!Roma cosplay, curl in your wig only to have someone go, "....Spain?"

Romano has 2 other outfits, one of when he was smaller, and another when he was a bit older and Spain couldn't put him in dresses anymore because it'd be too weird. lol.

But anyway, this is the first one

and if you could give me a few minues for the other, I can post that one too. I just have so many images, it takes a while to look through them all. xD

Hmmm...Well, I have to admit, unless you are paying attention to detail, people might mistake you for Chibitalia, but I think the pant idea may work, since Chibitaila's outift was soley a dress.

I couldn't find the other one with Romano, but I found the same image with Italy:

It would be the second outfit from the left, the brown shirt with the white pants. Only with Romano, because I know Romano wore the same outfit as well. But, I hope that helped! :)

Thank you so much for your help XD. The first outfit looks like fun!

Thanks :D. ...oh I know that's annoying..being mistaken for another character ><.

That's rather interesting that back then pink was a boys color and now it's seen more prissy and unmanly D:. Some guys look good in pink.

Ahh, hinata_chan1994 beat me too it XD

But yeah, pink was a guys colour, due to how close it was to red, while girl's usually wore pink. It's amuses me how it got so switched around. That and it was pretty normal for boys to wear 'dresses' till the age of... I think aroud 7?
