I recently went to my first (offical) anime convention and took the opportunity to try out cosplaying! Since I am absolutely in love with the Netflix Voltron reboot, Voltron Ledgendary Defender, I decided to cosplay as Pidge since I love her and I am also a short lil gremlin.
I made the shirt and shoes myself, the shorts I bought from work and the wig and glasses came from Amazon.
It was fun to make the shirt and shoes. I have only sewn one other garment in my life and it was probably 10 years ago when I was in the 7th grade. I made a pair of PJ pants which were A LOT easier than this sweater, but it was still fun and I am still very proud of how it came out even though I will make adjustments before I wear it at the next convention I go to (Holiday Matsuri!!)
Also!! I met Josh Keaton!! He was a really super super nice guy and loves Space Dad jokes and said he liked my cosplay.
He also signed my black lion!
For Holiday Matsuri, I want to do casual Pidge again on the Friday I go and then do Paladin armor Pidge on Saturday and maybe a holiday Pidge (ugly Christmas sweater!!) on Sunday. Pidge, Pidge, Pidge. I want to cosplay others, but I figured it would be fun to do a Pidge weekend! =D
