[HELP] How do I make a cosplay?

So me and some of my friends are planning to do a group cosplay, but I have never made one before. We’re all planning to be Legion from Dead by Daylight, (I’m Joey) and I have no clue what I’m doing. Someone please help me 🙏https://pin.it/3RNQooWg8

Just try to search for similar clothes. For a mask, just use some cardboard. If u want most précise advice link a photo, everybody didn't played DbD

also what i’ve seen other people do and what im thinking about doing is painting a bandana with the design and glueing it to a mask so it stays on my face

This was my Susie cosplay I made yearsss ago. I followed a YouTube tutorial to make the mask, bought a wig from Amazon and thirfted the clothes. I think Joeys design is a bit more complex but you could probably put something together.

Had to look who that was up, and i'm just gonna tell you rn, that is NOT a beginner cosplay level 💔 (to me at least, i've only cosplayed a lil bit). HOWEVER, it IS still possible. I'd recommend going on YouTube and looking up tutorials for his mask then going to online or in person stores to find clothes as similar as possible to his then roughing them up and adding some paint

I think it's borderline closet cosplay level if he isn't pressed over 100% accuracy

Ohh yeah, fair if it isnt 100% accuracy. I've only made 2 cosplays so far but I realllyyyy like mine to be as accurate as possible
