Unleash Your Inner Cosplay Goblin at “Bootleg Cosplay” Panel, Presented by SheProp!
Time: Friday March 28, 2025 1:00pm – 2:00pm PDT
Room: Room 300E
Description: Are you a cosplay goblin? Have you thrown together more than one cosplay on a hope and a prayer? Or are you perhaps a cosplay perfectionist trying to embrace the “perfect is the enemy of good” philosophy? SheProp panelists Lacey Bond, Tema Time, Kitsune Hime, and Fandomite Cosplay dive into how to create amazing cosplays without breaking the bank (or even without knowing how to use a sewing machine). They will talk about garment hacking, thrift cosplay, and other sustainable costuming practices. Bring your questions and get ready to learn; audience participation is highly encouraged.

This interactive session encourages audience participation, so bring your burning cosplay questions and prepare to be inspired. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, you’ll walk away with practical tips and a newfound confidence to tackle your next cosplay project.
