Hiii guys baby cosplayer here (last time I cosplayed was in like 2022 and it was venti from genshin and 2025 where I dressed up as the Greek god hermes) I am rlly wanted to cosplay Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.. I was wondering what's the cheapest/easiest way to gather cosplay pieces? I could sew stuff too at my local library with a machine or I could hand sew... But I've never done costuming before.. I wouldn't need a wig with how I'm planning to do my hair. The only thing I would really need to acquire is the costume.. any tips????(；^ω^）I just asked the cosplayers of Quenq group, but I was hoping people here would have some stuff to tell me

For the inner shirt, you could use a polyester shirt, and even a compression ahirt which would be more acurate. For the jacket, polyester should be okay too. For the pants, you could get some leather ones, maybe buy an extra size and snitch the waist to it's baggy. And the belt... Well, any big belt. Also, I noticed how the jacket ends on the ribs, so yeah. ✧(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
