Don't Make These Costume Mistakes At Your Next Larp Event! 

I think I could possibly make a whole video just on Larp footwear. It is often one of those things you don't think about until it's too late.

@@OurAdventuringParty exactly! you find a pair of shoes you think would be great but as soon as you take it onto field you realise it was a massive mistake

Every LARP I've been to has advised walking boots or other similar work/combat boots. Any pair of dark boots generally looks good enough, and safety beats looks when it comes to footwear. Or you can wear wellies, and stand in the middle of a puddle with a polearm.

Well we certainly have the time to refine costumes! Haha! And thank you :)

I do love him and his work! He's exceptionally talented.

Hmmm, I think so. That's a lot to cover so it may need to be more than one video, but I should be able to whip something up.

@@OurAdventuringParty wonderful cus my in laws told me to make a wish list and despite I know I need alot of stuff I could barely say Shoulder pad or quiver. I love watching kit videos to learn more what I could need.

Those wings sound amazing! Sorry they got you stuck!

It can be pretty hard on the seams depending on where and when you're larping. Being outside for a few days can be strenuous on clothing, especially if weather is bad. Just keep in mind average temperatures, the season and weather conditions and you'll be great :) And remember that temperatures can drop quite a lot at night. Have fun!

Yay! Glad it makes sense ^_^

Glad you found it helpful!

I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you found it helpful. Thank you very much, I am on the mend 😁

@@OurAdventuringParty that's a relief. Take care.

Definitely good advice :)

You are clearly a wizard to pull that off. I commend you sir ^_^

@@OurAdventuringParty not sure I'll ever be able to pull that off again xD

Thank you!

Hi! Always happy to see a new party member! No problem, I love making videos about LARP. Please let me know if there is a topic you want me to cover 😊

Hats are good, I approve of hats ❤️

Me too, so much!! Can't wait to get back!

Oooh! On the list, thank you!

@@OurAdventuringParty Yay

We all have made these mistakes at least once, in my case some of them I've done twice! Thanks for the question, I will add it to my list. And thank you, fingers crossed it will be over before I know it. :)

My major tip is make sure it fits. If you're using a balaclava mask, sew up the back until it's very tight to your face (as tight as you can comfortably get it). Then use a small pair of scissors or clippers to cut out the eye holes and mouth until you can fully open your mouth and aren't getting poked in the eye; ideally, the latex should be flat around your eye sockets and just touching the top of your lip. If your mask is too big at the front, you can stitch/glue between the eyes until it fits, but that's a little less durable and tends to make an unpleasant channel for sweat. Note that both cutting and sewing are much more accurately done if you're wearing the mask, so get a mirror or a friend you trust with blades around your eyes. Excess material can be covered with hair, jewellery or whatever else you can think of. Personally I use a selection of hats and helmets wherever possible.

I know! So close!

Made it!

@@OurAdventuringParty Ding! (That's the level up noise)

Hey. The internet will lead you to them one way or another usually. Larps have websites, Facebook groups, I actually found my first one on a Wikipedia page. If the internet is not an option for you, try local colleges/universities, they may have a larp group or society.

@@OurAdventuringParty tysm

Very well. I will add it to the list.

@@OurAdventuringParty why do I feel like I have made poor life choices XD

That's fair, I don't expect my opinion to be universal 🙂 and thank you 🙂

I'm afraid I have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry.

All brilliant advice. 😊
