Support your Costume with History

Costume falling flat? Wings flopping? Something just feels. . . off? The answer might be hiding in history.

Join Asterisk for an inspiring panel on how historical techniques can take your cosplay to the next level. Whether you’re working on a sleek modern design or a historically inspired masterpiece, there’s a lot to learn from the past. Just because something can be done the modern way doesn’t always mean it should be.

You’ll get tips on structure, stability, and style, along with a live demonstration showing how corsetry can support massive wing builds. Plus, Asterisk will share where to dig up reliable research and resources to help you build better, smarter, and stronger.

Asterisk is excited to meet fellow creators and hopes you’ll walk away with new tricks, fresh ideas, and the motivation to make your next cosplay your best one yet.
