Lulu

Character: Lulu

Game: Final Fantasy X & X-2

Competition: KingCon 2020

Award: Best advanced

Final Fantasy X is one of my favorite games in the Final Fantasy series. When my old cosplay group wanted to do a FFX group, I knew I wanted Lulu. This entire outfit is as budget as possible, the majority being thrifted. I didn’t have a lot of money, but I had a lot of creativity so I made it work. This outfit is easily my heaviest cosplay with the belts and the train weighing around 15lbs alone.

Panel feature

This outfit is featured in my Cosplay on a Ramen Budget panel. I use this as one of my greatest examples of how you can build an elaborate cosplay with a tiny budget. Check out the full panel on my Panel Presentations page.

Competition info

This is the only competition I did in 2020 right at the start of the year in January. KingCon is a county comic con in the Seattle area, and it was fun to compete with other locals. As this was a comiccon, the presentation was a walk-on. The judges were most impressed with the tablecloth under the train to keep the dress from getting dirty.
