I’ve been cosplaying for a couple of years, and it has
gotten to the point that making and focusing on 1-2 new costumes per year had
racked up quite a number of costumes. I used to plan it so that Anime
Expo was the focal point of my “Cosplay Year,” but since the mid 2000s, I
started going to San Diego Comic Con, and it has become the focal point
instead. Anime Expo became a “Trial Run” for whatever big project of a
costume I’m working on.

The 2014 “Cosplay Year” to me is not that different. Usually, it consists of 1-2 new costumes, 1-2
comfortable costumes for shopping days, and whatever days are left filled by older/
previous years’ costumes.
