Hey everyone! I’m planning to cosplay Pomni in swimsuit version at this year’s DoKomi. Since I’m mainly going there to visit a friend and just hitting up the con on the side, I’m not super familiar with the local rules. I’ve got a few questions:

1.Does DoKomi allow derivative outfits, especially swimsuits with a bit more skin showing(as pic)? I want to make sure I’m not breaking any rules.

2.I’m not typical 'skinny' coser, but I’m not exactly plus-sized either (like 5'7" / 154 lbs). Do you think I’ll get a lot of side-eye or comments? I usually don't care much about what others think, but honestly, it’s my first time wearing swimsuit to a con, so I’m feeling a bit nervous.

3.Is there a risk of running into some 'creepy' photographers there? Any tips on how to avoid them or handle those situations? I'm actually going with a girl friend of mine, and she's planning to do a swimsuit cosplay too.

4.Are the restrooms close to the main halls? Should I change at home and just throw a coat over the outfit, or is it better to change in the restrooms once I get there?

Would love to hear some advice from anyone, whether you've been to DoKomi before or not. Every bit of input helps. Thanks!!O(∩_∩)O
