Raiva

Raiva Cosplay started in 2017 after a single build of a prototype lightsaber. 14 costumes later, many are still a work in progress. Balancing work, school, mom-life, and cosplay is challenging for her, but in the end, the smiles make it all worth it.

Wear Five Layers in 100 Degree Weather Without Dying

It's important to ensure your costume and prop(s) will be functional in the weather and for long-term wear during your costumed function. Making sure different fabrics are breathable or include a cooling vest, have moisture barriers, etc. can mean the difference between weathering or ruining a costume.
