So I’m still a beginner when it comes to wig styling but I do have a decent amount of experience and knowledge of some methods.

I’ve recently had a family friend ask me if I’d be interested in making her daughter’s wig for Halloween as she’s going as Lily Lovebraid from Poppy Playtime. I accepted as she said she’ll pay me for it.

The supplies alone cost me $45 which I thankful had the other supplies that I needed already. The wig is going to be a helmet wig with wire in the braids as to make it able to bend it and easier to store. I’m also using the tights method for the braids to keep it lightweight.

So a bit of stuff I haven’t done before. Therefore I don’t know how long it will take me to make it. Which is my main concern as I don’t want to ask for a crazy amount if there’s gonna be any mess ups or mistakes. Other issue is the family friend said she was just gonna give me the wig back after Halloween so she’s basically paying me to make a whole wig to rent I guess???

I’ve talked to both my partner and his mom (as it’s her friend) and they’ve told me to do it per hour but previous concern still stands. I do have another wig that I’ve agree with them before to charge around $230-300 if I were to be commissioned for it but with this one they’re saying around $100-120 (not including materials). I want to ask here to ask get some more insight about how much I should do it for.

I apologize for the double/duplicate post, the wording in the other one was confusing and I needed to change it and also add different photos.

I recently bought Mitsuri’s kimono from the Swordsman Village Arc off of AliExpress and as expected it’s a bit small. But my issue is the obi, it has velcro, which I don’t have an issue with but when I was siting and leaned over it popped off.

So I am just going to remake the whole thing myself, with a better fabric, snaps (or hook pants as someone had suggested it to me), and with interfacing to have some structure to it.

(I included a picture of the snaps I bought and a visual of what I’m thinking)

But I have some options that Im currently debating when it comes to the closures;

1. Use the original velcro and make the obi longer than I need it to be so the velcro overlaps completely

2. Use the snaps/hooks with the longer length so it overlaps completely

3. No major overlap (so the obi will be the exact length I need) and the snaps/hooks are only on the edge OR just a single strip of velcro along the shorter edge

Excuse my yapping I’m trying to help explain this so it’s easier to understand.

So I’m currently working on altering a kimono cosplay for Mitsuri (Demon Slayer). I bought the costume online from AliExpress and as expected it’s a bit small on my body despite getting the largest size.

The obi that it comes with is closed with Velcro but when I was siting and leaned over it popped off and I decided that I was just gonna remake it myself with different fabric and closers (Which are snaps; picture is attached in post), and better structure. And when I took my measures and compared it to the original obi the difference was 6cm/2 7/8in.

So I’m debating if I should add extra so it still overlaps and use the same Velcro or just stick with the snaps I bought and do the length that I need it to be, or have the snaps on in a similar placement of the Velcro with overlap??
