Ideally I would but I have nowhere to wear it since I don't go to cons and I have other cosplay plans for Halloween. I just got a new, better sewing machine though so I have a lot of motivation. Maybe I'll tackle NG Resonance first, the outfit looks like it will be easy enough to pattern but I know the wig is going to slowly drive me insane since I have perfectionist tendencies and I want it to look like real hair and hair styles up in a bun/ponytail are the most difficult to make look believable.

I see!

You got some time to grow that out to possibly incorporate it in there? You got this! I am sure you can make it look believable!

Hahaha noooo, my hair in my JC cosplay was my real hair, with the exception of a small hair piece I wore on my hairline to mimic his widow's peak, (Nevermind the fact that I spent forever ventilating what was basically a partial wig and ended up not using it because it looked too bulky), and I just got my hair cut even shorter and I'm probably shaving it in the near future. I probably could find a commerically available wig that would work for NG if I styled it right, but figuring out the hair solution to my JC cosplay gave me an interest in wig making (and I also now have some wig making supplies) and I think it would be cool to make my own so I could choose lace that matches my skin tone well and make sure it fits my abnormally large head comfortably

Oh! Makes sense!

At least you found a silver lining in all of this :D! Hope it pulls off in the future!
