These fun costumes will transform you into an amazing character and what’s great is that you don’t need sewing skills, just a few choice pieces from our website combined with items you have at home. When budget cosplayers say that an average spend for a DIY costume is about $100, these costumes are also great for your wallet as well which means you can spend more on awesome collectibles at the show! Let’s dive right in to the good stuff.
Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a favorite among pop culture fans everywhere. This long-running show has seen its share of actors taking on the role of The Doctor. However, the most iconic and memorable Doctor is the Fourth Doctor played by Tom Baker. Cosplaying as the Fourth Doctor can be a lot of fun and can easily be done with a gender-bent twist like what we have below!
Cruella de Ville
Disney fans can easily recreate this cruel character by adding the right accessories to their favorite little black dress. Cruella de Ville is most recognized for her black and white hair, so we’ve added just that along with other identifying accessories like a (faux) fur stole, red gloves, and black pumps.
Spider-Man
If you’re a major Marvel fan, you can’t go wrong with Spider-Man. He’s one of the original Marvel comic book characters and is as memorable as he is recognizable! If you’re looking for a realistic costume, this Spider-Man bodysuit is just what you need. Designed after the recent films, this costume looks just like the real thing! (Super strength and spider silk not included).
Poison Ivy
As far as super villains go, Poison Ivy is quite a character! This enchanting foe uses her charm and beauty to trick her enemies into a deadly trap. For those who want to create some trouble as this sinister character, we’ve got a great costume and wig to get you the perfect look. Just add some cool makeup and you’ll be photo ready!
Austin Powers
If you love cosplaying because you like impersonating character, then here’s a fun idea for you! Austin Powers was a hit during the late 90s to the early millennium and if you want to bring back your mojo, this costume and accessory set will have you saying, “Yeah, baby!”
Black Widow
The Avengers: Age of Ultron was one of the biggest movies of the year so far which means that any Avenger character will likely be huge at Comic-Con this year. Here’s an easy way to recreate the sexy, strong, and powerful Black Widow with just a few items. We’ve taken our popular and versatile faux leather catsuit and accessorized it with weapon harnesses and a wig to create the perfect look.
