Cosplay Update: ☼ Jinx Wig

Hi guys! It's been too long! It's so nice to be posting again. ^^ I've been busy working on cosplay- which is what I'd like to share today. I made my own Jinx cosplay from the cartoon Teen Titans!

This was the largest wig I've ever styled myself! Here's how it started...


And here is how it ended up...



I also sewed and constructed the rest of the costume myself! I'm going to share more photos below, because I'm so proud!

❤ Spreepicky Review - Love Live School Uniform

 Overview

In all honesty, I’m obsessed with this cosplay. I love Love (hehe) Live so much, so the quality of this costume is very important. Spreepicky’s version does not disappoint! 
 Details
The pattern on the skirt is printed perfectly, without any coloring or pattern mistakes. The best part is it looks identical to the skirt pattern in the anime! The bow’s pattern is also perfectly printed and is Maki’s perfect blue color!


I’m very picky with the color of the costume’s blazer, and Spreepicky has my favorite coloring for it by far! This blue looks just like the photos as well! So no unwanted surprises. (A good example of this is the photos below!)

 Sizing
Please look carefully at Spreepicky’s sizing (link here) chart! It runs much smaller than the average American sizing system. I ordered an extra large, but I’m normally a medium in dresses and skirts. 
The skirt comes with about three inches of stretchy material on the back middle. This is a LIFE SAFER! I’ve never had a school uniform use this technique- but it’s so helpful for both comfort and a more fitted look (even if you’re on either the small or larger side of your size).

 Communication

Despite being sponsored for this review, I got to experience the ordering process as a normal customer would, placing my order through the site and receiving the same email updates as non-sponsors. This experience was very positive! I got emailed when my order was accepted and shipped, along with a fast response time while communicating about my sponsorship!

In my package I received a sweet note, flyer, and a free surprise pair of earrings! They go with my bow! How sweet!

 Shipping
The shipping process was just as the website described! I received my package three weeks after ordering with their normal shipping process selected.
