I get a lot of questions on where I buy certain pieces for my cosplays. "Where did you buy your wig", "Where did you find the shoes", "Do you have a link for it?". So I've decided to start compiling lists and putting together a little shopping guide to help you find the right items when creating your own cosplay! Just a quick note: I buy a lot of items of Amazon and eBay and sometimes those listings may expire. So I apologize if a listing no longer exists but both eBay and Amazon are pretty good at suggesting new listings of the exact same item! So check out whatever the recommended newer listings may be. Just pay attention to seller and item ratings and reviews! Brigitte's Wig You'll need a red lace front wig. The wig will absolutely need to be a lace front. They're more expensive but it's the only way you'll be able to customize her unique hairline! I found one for $30 on eBay! It's super thick (honestly it was almost too thick)! The perfect length (I chose the 20" option) and is a lace front! It can be styled with heat tools on a low setting like a majority of wigs and has little fall out. Here's the listing I used! Red Overall's It was actually pretty tricky to find red, women's overalls! I don't know why it was so difficult but I eventually found one on eBay! They're most expensive than I would've liked but they were the most accurate ones I could find. Here's the listing I used! Brigitte's Shirt I went to Redbubble to find her shirt. I knew that'd be the best place to find it. Unfortunately, the shirt with my favorite design, was way expensive when choosing the female v-neck fit. So I bought this unisex, crew-neck tee instead. It was $10 cheap and all I had to do was take in the waist a little and cut/hem the neckline. I choose the dark grey coloring. Here's the listing I used! Brigitte's Gloves I already owned black gloves and silver fabric to created her gloves. I can't link you to fabric--I suggest checking your local fabric stores. Silver stretch fabric is fairly common in most fabric stores. For the black gloves though, I've linked a listing for cheap, long gloves! All you'd have to do is cut off the fingers and make them shorter (or to the length you like). Here's the listing I recommend. Brigitte's Tattoo I painted mine on using acrylic paint but this can be extremely difficult and messy (especially if you do it by yourself). I recommend finding a listing for a fake tattoo instead! There's lots of companies out there that do cu5stom fake tattoos but I always go to Etsy for things like this. I've linked a few different listings that look pretty good! Recommended listing #1 Recommended listing #2 Recommended Listing #3 Brigitte's Side Bag I bought a hip/waist bag a few years back, so the exact listing I used isn't up any longer. But I found a similar one. These are quite expensive though and her's isn't anything fancy. You could easily get the look with just a normal, black fanny pack. I've linked a listing to the exact one I used, a mid-range priced one and a couple cheaper options. The one I used Mid-Range priced option Cheaper option #1 Cheaper Option #2 Everything else for this cosplay I already owned or made specifically for this cosplay. I used a pair of grey boots I've had for several years now and made the small details to add onto her fanny pack, overalls, etc.
I hope this shopping guide has helped you find some of the items you may be searching for! ~Positive Outcomes Only~
