Whether you have 3 months or 3 weeks before a convention, there are definitely things you can (should) do to prepare for cosplay.  Here’s my Top 10 List of preparations for a convention or costume event.  Practicing and making simple daily/weekly changes can really help an event go smoothly and help you look/feel your best.


  1. Wear your corset, spanx, or other undergarments for 1 hour a day.

  2. Walk briskly for 1 hour a day and practice walking in your costume shoes.

  3. Cut out fast food and sweet drinks.  Drink 8 oz of water & green tea a day.

  4. Limit yourself to 1 alcoholic beverage a week.

  5. Brush with whitening toothpaste 1x a day.

  6. Use a gradual tanning lotion or a skin cream that tightens skin 1x a day.

  7. Get your hair trimmed (just split ends, nothing drastic).

  8. Practice one makeup or hair technique you’ll be using for your character 3x a week.

  9. Set out your costumes and make a list of “to craft/to buy” items.

  10. Practice character facial expressions and have a set pose you can use for photos.


There are plenty of other things you can do to prepare for a convention, but these simple 10 items can really make a world of difference.  Check out our Cosplay 101 Board  for other great tips and tricks.
