First Stop Cosplay: Don’t Let Con Crunch Crush You!
Don’t Let Con Crunch Crush You!
Let’s talk about cosplay time management. If you’ve ever spent the night before a con drinking Red Bulls at your sewing machine, this panel is for you. Our team members will discuss avoiding con crunch with tips that actually work.
Two people will be hosting this panel. Audience participation, especially sharing stories and tips around con crunch, is encouraged.
First Stop Cosplay is a company that understands the value of creating your cosplay yourself. We’ve experienced all the good and bad that comes with making a cosplay. We stand for cosplays that you are proud to wear because they fit you just right and are as accurate as you want them to be. We stand for tears of joy instead of tears of frustration, for pride in a job well done, and for having fun wearing a cosplay that you made yourself.
