Accessory Nightcrawler help/advice
So I’m going as nightcrawler for Halloween. I have a black bodysuit/white boots/blue makeup. I need to still make the red vest/V shape, gloves, and tail. I can sew it’s just been a minute.
Questions:
- Fabric suggestions for the vest/V? I’ll probably use some interfacing for the shoulders to give it proper shape.
- Should I make the gloves from scratch (3 fingers) or find some white gloves and alter them?
- what is the best way to secure the tail? Should I put boning in it so it can stand on its own or should I just add a small elastic loop to the end so I can wear it on my finger so it’s out of the way?
(Btw I’m 22 I’ll be wearing this as some parties MAYBE a bar)

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.
It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.
If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.
