About Me

Ginger of "GNB Cosplay" has been studying fashion design and pattern making for most of her young life. She has always enjoyed sewing, and creating her own clothes and costumes, as well as creating clothing and costumes for her Barbie's when she was younger.
She is continuing her education at California State University of Northridge (CSUN), so that she may earn a BA degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising. She hopes to one day debut her own Harajuku inspired clothing line.
Once she found a way to combine her love of design with her love of Anime, "GNB Cosplay" was born. She started by attending her first Anime convention in 2007, and creating costumes for herself and her friend. She has since created costumes for men, women, and children of all different sizes.
Ginger is the head costumer, pattern drafter, and seamstress. When she's not creating costumes, she enjoys going to Conventions, dancing, drawing, and creating stories. Her dream is to create costumes and accessories for any and all cosplayers around the world.
~:0:~ I am working with my friend Chlobits Cosplay She's going to be handling the props from now on, while I focus on the costumes. I'm very excited to work with her. We are trying to figure out a name both of us can use, so we are operating under one name, but I haven't come up with any good names; Chloe has come up some cute ones though. We'll update you on our progress on the name switch, but we are both too busy with commissions now I suppose ^_^
~:0:~ I can commission most types of costumes as long as the cosplayer provide me with enough reference pictures. Feel free to browse through my albums to view my previous work or watch the slide show below, though there is much more work in my albums. ^_^

~:0:~ Also if you are interested in having a custom pattern made for you, in case you want to sew your own costume, I can create a custom pattern for you. This is merely for those who already sew and know how to read a pattern.

The pattern will come with instructions but the complexity of your costume will depend on your skill level! Feel Free to contact me for a quote!!

~:0:~ I have posted the terms and conditions for the costumes so please make sure you read it carefully before deciding to place an order. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. ^_^
