Tips for Finding the Perfect Sci-fi Costume

You have spent your life living the sci-fi dream. From the time you were small, and your uncle took you to see Star Wars for the first time for your eighth birthday, you were obsessed with everything Star Wars. You had a large collection of Star Wars toys, including the telescoping lightsaber Darth Vader action figure (which you still have, to this day). Soon your Star Wars interest turned into an obsession with all things sci-fi, including Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Battlestar Gallactica. You love everything associated with these worlds, and you have been happy that the culture has exploded with the popularization of sci-fi conventions. One of the most important aspects of these sci-fi conventions are the costumes. You want to have the perfect costume when attending these conventions. Read on to learn about finding the best sci-fi costume at the convention.

Make-It or Buy-It

When you decide to attend a sci-fi convention, even before you purchase your ticket for the big event, you are working on the most important piece of the sci-fi puzzle, your costume. Now, there are a couple of ways you can go about securing the perfect Stormtrooper or Boba Fett costume. You can save a few dollars and go out and purchase all of the white duct tape from the local hobby store and then spend 3,245 painstaking hours cutting out various pieces of cardboard and using the white duct tape to fashion a semi-professional costume. If getting hundreds of cardboard paper-cuts sounds like lots of fun to you, then by all means, go ahead and start saving boxes. If you would rather have a perfect, movie-professional costume that will wow the people at the convention, then put down the duct tape and pick up your computer.

Purchasing Power

Now that you understand the importance of utilizing a computer instead of scissors, duct tape, and cardboard, you need to have purchasing power. Sure, you can go from site to site on different Internet websites looking for the best costumes for the right price, and then hope that the costume that you ultimately invest in turns out to be everything that it looks to be. However, you could actually do something a little smarter, and that is utilizing an aggregate site, developed by a fellow costume enthusiast, where the costume providers are fettered out and only the best a linked for your perusal. By purchasing from a high-quality provider, you can be sure that you will get the perfect sci-fi costume to wow all of your fellow sci-fi enthusiasts at your next convention.

Go Forward

Now that you have the perfect costume to wear to your conventions, you can be sure that you will turn heads and have a better time at each and every convention that you would have without your amazing sci-fi costume. You never know, you might meet the Princess Leia of your dreams, and live happily ever after in a galaxy far, far away. And remember all of the costumes displayed on our site are available to be shipped to Canada.
