Frequently Asked Questions
Why does cosplay sizing run small?
Costumes are tailored to a tight, screen-accurate silhouette and run roughly one size smaller than US streetwear. Pick by your actual chest measurement.
How do I measure my chest correctly?
Wear an unpadded bra, run a soft tape level around the fullest point of the chest, snug but not tight.
How do I size a cloak?
Use the height chart. If you fall outside the range, choose the custom-make option.
Are shoes sized separately?
Yes. Shoe sizing is independent and listed in centimeters.
How big is the gap between L and XL?
Typically about 4 cm chest, 4 cm waist, 2 cm length.
Should I size down to look slimmer?
We don’t recommend it — it breaks the proportions of the character.
Can the costume be altered?
Minor seam adjustments are supported. For larger changes, choose custom-make from the start.
