I'm heading to the USA to compete in the Cosplay Central Crown Championships! Travel Prep Vlog

I am the Australian Representative for the C2E2 Cosplay Central Cown Championship held in Chicago, April 2024. Wowzers.
This is still very crazy in my mind BUT it also means that I need to fix/repair a few bits of not only Toph's cosplay but also Penelope Featherington's daisy dress cosplay that I plan to take with me also.

Join me so you can see the wear and tear these cosplays has endured but also, points that I learnt from wearing them the first time... and then how I fix it.

Thank you to both PAX/ ReedPop (for the prize, opportunity, accomodation and tickets to C2E2) and also the Western Australian Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (for the return airplane tickets for both Terry and I).
