Anonymous asked: I saw your She-Ra cosplay post, and let me just tell you straight up. You have one of the most beautiful pair of legs I've EVER seen! Gosh woman! I'd kill for legs like those >.< I really admire your strength to go through with the cosplay, I've always wanted to cosplay like you, but I'm way to shy and self conscious to do that.. Well, stay beautiful! <3

Xena and Gabrielle Xena: Warrior Princess

You can be curvy and still do awesome cosplay! Xena is a size 18/16 gabrielle is a 13/14.

theagentofshield asked: While I am on the skinny side of things as far as plus sized,running at around a 10/12 I have always been super self conscious about my shape when it comes to body size. But for NYCC I have pulled out all the stops and am going to be doing Kate Bishop from Young Avengers, crop top and all. Love your blog and there will be pictures when it's all done!

Anonymous asked: You're a very beautiful cosplayer and I admire the work you put into your cosplays~

fitnessbiscuit asked: Thanks for the post on tights. :D I do have a question, though. I was wondering if any of your followers know a place to get opaque tights with clocks printed on them? I want to DisneyBound as Cogsworth one day and I thought they would be cute, but I can never find any in my size. Thank you!

residentpyromaniac asked: I'd like to thank this blog for existing too. I'm a smaller fat (US 14-16 range) but I still get really self-conscious with cosplaying a lot and it's great to see fat cosplayers celebrated for once, instead of ignored or made fun of. :)

Anonymous asked: I wanted to thank you very much for this blog. I have been nervous lately of cosplaying certain characters, but I love the support and sharing of this blog which helps me become more confident.

looneylingerer asked: Miaou! I think it would be great to see some guy cosplays on this blog. I happen to be a large guy myself and plan on doing some cosplay(s).

Tights question?

A while back someone asked where to find some blue and pink striped tights. We have some advice! (It was sent in a while ago but I’ve just gotten logged in after regaining my sanity after finals). So, here’s said advice!- animegirlrunningwithtoasthi there! i saw that you had a cosplayer hunting for blue/pink striped tights for a size 22 chica. well, i was in the same boat as her...

Anonymous asked: How long does it usually take for submissions to be posted? I'm just curious. :)

wrtluvonherarms asked: I need help making my halloween costume this year, and thankfully I am starting early!! I LOVE this costume- and my bf and I are doing steampunk themes this year. I'd love to hear about this outfit and where I might find similar things if you don't mind. I am plus size, 22... and finding ANYTHING is proving quite a challenge!

sironaselkie asked: For the hetalia/homestuck anon... I would suggest doing your favorite trolls because there is no canon body shape (just headcanons) and I've found the fandom to be really accepting so long as you put effort into making a quality costume. good luck!

bringyourownbacon asked: To all plus size homestucks like me: you can be whomever you want! Thats the best part of homestuck is anything goes! Each character has quite a few forms they can take (especially if you go into the other facets of the fandom like aquariumstuck or nuclearstuck or 50's stuck) so just pick whatever you enjoy most, even if it means just doing the basic t-shirt and pants cosplay!

Anonymous asked: I love this blog and anything related to size acceptance, and while I realize that yes it is called fuck yeah FAT cosplay, I must ask: In regards to another question you answered, wouldn't denying a picture of someone becuase they were a size four be the opposite of size acceptance?

gotowhatsanapocalae asked: I am not a big cosplayer, in any sense of the word, but I am loving this. I am talking to someone who thinks that they are too heavy for cosplay and sending them things to show that they can do this! They can own their own body! I am just loving this anyway, which is weird since a few years ago I was really against cosplay in general. Thank you very much for making such a lovely point with showing...

Anonymous asked: how much of a queue do you have? how long should we wait for a submission to go up?

bobthespider asked: I love this <3

amysuetho asked: Hey! I am doing the cosplay. My wig came in yesterday and my costume is being made as we speak. Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. This blog is amazing! I will send in pictures this summer!

spangledmystars asked: I know this isn't really a question, but I just wanna say that totally support this blog, any plus size cosplayer anywhere. I've always found more curvy women to be the most beautiful in existence, and with the sincere smiles and the cute cosplays this might be my favorite blog!

blackjackgabbiani asked: I want to cosplay Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3 in her fencer outfit, but the issue is that she has thigh-high boots. That's the only part of her outfit that wouldn't look good, so how do I *make* it look good without spreading all over?

Anonymous asked: woops...you just lost a follower--

Anonymous asked: I am not overweight - quite the contrary - but I've always been scared to go to con's because I don't conform to societies standard of beauty in other ways (being flat chested, for example, which is something i've gotten crap for in general) and I've seen all kind of cosplay shaming on the web. I'm finally going, and i'm still nervous, but I really love what you...

Anonymous asked: after losing weight i became a body shaming person, this place is beyond amazing. Every cosplayer is beautiful and their doing a great job at doing what they love! great place! I've learned that every body is beautiful and that putting them down won't help me or them. Plus most of the time their body really does fit the cosplay! <3

imsketch-party asked: This blog makes me feel more confident with myself. Thank you so much <3

Anonymous asked: Hi! You folks are really fantastic and I'm really happy--you've motivated me to push past self-conscious boundaries. But?? I'm really super self-conscious about cosplaying Sucre/Sugar from the game Off by Mortis Ghost. She shows her tummy and most of her chest, and I con-appropriated it, but gosh I'm super nervous?? I'm a size 16, and.. yeah. I'm nervous about ending...

korra-kins asked: I LOVE this blog. I'm really chubby & love to cosplay, and seeing that people appreciate chubbs who cosplay and aren't afraid to do it. c:>

greatwhitefork asked: Just wanted to say thanks for maintaining this blog! I'm going to Wondercon at the end of this month, and thanks to the support you give all fat cosplayers I have decided to finally cosplay as my favorite comic character: catwoman! I've felt like I couldn't cosplay her (catwoman is a sexy, confident, BAMF character in rather tight clothing) but now... I've realized that I AM,...

Anonymous asked: Heya! I'm a 20 year old male, at around 5'11" and ~280 pounds. I've always been really, really interested in costumes, and have always really wanted to put something together and go to a convention. Issue is, I've always been really, really sensitive to my figure, to the point that I wouldn't swim with my family without a shirt on. That said, I've been trying to...

ladyredxoxo asked: Im 208 and I wanna cosplay as Gamzee and Vriska and some more from homestuck. But I feel really self-conscious. :/ Should I still? and If I do I'll post pictures on here. Oh and this blog is perfect <3 everyone looks great :)

mickiemousey asked: This blog is amazing. I've been plus-sized ever since I was a little girl and I've always been self-conscious, but this blog helped improve my self-esteem! Thank you so much! I love this blog!

buckets-in-florida asked: Hello, i am going to a con next year, and need some ideas for cosplay, because if i dont get started soon, i'll never finish it. I am really into the anime Hetalia: Axis Powers, and the webcomic, Homestuck. Me and my girlfriend would LOVE to couple cosplay, but we are both quite a bit overweight, and would not feel comfortable in a costume of a character who is normally very skinny... any...

Anonymous asked: Hello! First of all, I love this blog! It's very inspiring. Second, I was wondering if there was any restriction on who could submit photos. I used to be a size 18 (US) in pants but have lost weight since then and now wear 8/10 in pants and about a 10/12 in dresses. I still feel like I'm a larger cosplayer, but when I said something about it to one of my friends, she went to pretty much...

animegirlrunningwithtoast asked: any suggestions on where to find a pair of blue/pink striped tights for a plus sized chica (to be specific a size us 22 chica)? i'm batting zeroes :\.

MegaCon 2013 Cosplay- Team Aqua Grunt

This is me and my sister getting ready for the last day of MegaCon 2013. I’m the one on the right, the Team Aqua Grunt from the Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald games. I made it last minute due to a costume mishap. My sister was cosplaying as Rarity from My Little Pony.

This is my Rose Lalonde cosplay, with my friend in her zombie make-up. I felt a little out-classed by the stupendous job she did on her face (just look at that face) but I was super happy with my cosplay, and am probably going to wear it again.

should-have-hopped-faster asked: Just a suggestion to the girl who wants to cosplay catwoman; if you don't feel comfortable in a tight leather suit, why not go for the original DC catwoman outfit, it's long, flowy, great for full figures and purple! Plus unusual, original DC costumes go down a treat at conventions.
