So, hi! I'm planning on cosplaying as Catherine from Catherine this November (Or February if I'm late), but I'm running into a few problems.

So, her outfit is simple enough, (although since most stores are getting fall clothing in it'll be a pain) but her wig is my main issue. If you don't know her hairstyle, here it is: http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq3c52hEmF1qhhugoo1_500.jpg

I have found various tutorials, but most of them confuse me, in all honesty. I'm fairly sure I'll need to use a wire of some sort, but how do I get the hair to nicely stick to the wire, and then how do I attach it to the base wig?
I have gotten a commission quote, which was a bit pricey for my dinky part-time job, but I'll just end up buying it if I can't figure out anything else, I'm afraid. (Not that it's bad; the wig stylist is fabulous. I'll just be broke for like, ever afterwards.)
If I could get any help with this, I'd appreciate it. <3

Hmm.. Also, while I'm asking, what should I do about eyelash glue if I'm allergic to latex? OwO

Hey, I have a Catherine costume I finished in febuary when the game came out! The wig wasn't as bad as I antipatied, it was actually a lot of fun! I have a photoshoot scheduled for Saturday in a bar actually to actually get pictures!
I can try and explain how I did it, but since I don't have pictures it may be a bit difficult. What did the commissioner charge? I could do it for you for the price of the wig + labor. =]

I can show you better pictures when I get them this saturday. =]

Oh wow!! That looks so good! *O*
Only thing is since I'm blonde naturally, I'm looking for a more white-blonde than yellow blonde. (or maybe not "white" exactly, but yeah. xD I'm confusing.) It looks absolutely fantastic! :DDD

..I'm not sure if we should discuss it here, but the commissioner I got the quote from is charging $91. I'd love it if you could help me out in any way at all though! *A* Umm.. maybe I can PM you about it when I get off of work? :3

I went with the coloring from the cover, since I did this a LONG time ago, and the color looks better with my skin tone as well =] I'd be able to work with you for whatever color you'd want if you'd like! Feel free to PM me and we can talk though. 91 is a bit much in my opinion for her wig.
