Mistborn Cosplay Advice

[ODXT]

Thinking about going to a convention next year. Any suggestions for how to make/buy a Mistborn costume?

I'm trying to design a mistcoat. 

The progress is...slow

I'd use a linen with a dye, it's easier to mould into the shape you're looking for and should be easy to do that ripped look

I found grey sheets a local store, cut the bottom 3/4 of the sheet into strips, put a light layer of black spray paint on them, and then layered two sheets together. For the hood, I used the pillow case that also came with the set.

I figured out that a mix of silk (for the hood, the collar, and the lower layer of strips) and organza  would create the most accurate mistcloak. You can buy obsidian online and shape it into a dagger (or try to buy an obsidian knife.) You can get the coins and pouch from the Shirepost mint.

I haven’t actually created this, but I plan to. I’d be more likely to do it if Brandon ever came to NYC.
