I am SO EXCITED to see your costume come together!! Aaaaaaa sending good crafting vibes!
Ah thank you!!!! Plus if I get stuck I'm just gonna be emailing you like "HELP"
Lmaoo fair tho - my inbox is always open!
I’ve always wanted to get into cosplay, and your channel is a huge motivator for me. I’m going to a convention next year and I’m thinking of making a cosplay for it, so this video is really helpful 🫶💗
Same here I'm thinking on cosplaying but i never been to any conventions
Jess why are we on the same pipeline?! Stop taking my video ideas LOL JK. Seriously, awsome video and congrats on the sponsor!💜
Fine I’ll give back our collective content brain cell lol. But does this mean there’s a chance we might be competing at Megacon next year????? 🤔
@@JessLess if I can get my act together cause mines a Genshin cosplay. I’m crazy.😭
@@heishi_keki lord have mercy on your soul
@@JessLess I am mentally ill🤗
It has been 4 months, we are at the end near start of march… where is the costume ??
Just discovered your channel, love your work!
Best of luck with your cosplay and competition adventures!! I love competing in cosplay competitions, usually I do the skit side but creating the cosplay is always half the fun and the other half are the people you meet along the way as your guys said XD
Yeah it definitely sounds fun haha-
(Honestly if that happens to me I'll back out cus im a chicken-)
I'm really impressed and proud of your confidence and talent istg😭❤️
Yea me too
_pumps fists in air and sings in a celebratory tone_
Jess Less Uplooaaad!!
In sync “jeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss lessssssssssss uppploaaaaaadddddeeeeeeeeeedddddddd”
I don’t know if you’ve started working on the costume yet, but I just wanted to offer a suggestion for the tail. I absolutely adore Ariel, and I think a more body hugging skirt that flares out at the bottom would give that effect. I once got that effect by weirdly layering long and short petticoats. Just a random idea that I’ve always wanted to try
I’ve only done some cosplay, and anytime I think about doing a neche character or if I look like a character or am I unable to do something I remember one experience. So one year I had made a Cosplay of the King from Fallen Kingdom. (You know the Minecraft parody), so I wore it to school for holloween. I didn’t have a wig or anything and I am a hefty woman (teen then but same sentiment) so i don’t particularly look like the character that much. Anywho, so I’m walking arround school and I hear to my side two freshmen boys yell asking “Are you the king from Fallen kingdom?!?” I not and give a thumbs up. They proceed to go berserk saying that’s so cool and generally freaking out. It was passing period so we didn’t stop but man that was my favorite cosplay experience.
So remember neche or otherwise, looking similar or otherwise, cosplay whoever it’s still so much fun!
Okay long rant:
This got me really excited actually. I am actually working on two cosplays right now, one of which is Philza and I may be wearing it to (my first) a ren faire next year. I've looked on their web and they say they have a cosplay comp, but i really am a total beginner and literally my first time making a full on cosplay. Everyone on the internet looks so cool and sophisticated and its kind of deteterred me because I feel like I would never be as good as them. A big part of my fear is going on stage and look like i wrapped myself in a mangy bedsheet while everyone else is dressed to the stars. I don't know half the terminology they're blurting out about sewing and I dont even own a sewing machine. 😅 Your channel is honestly such an inspiriation to me, and I basically started cosplaying *because* i watched your videos. You inspired me to start thinking and get really excited about cosplay, especially the mushroom witch video which i have watched no less than 5 times. Hopefully, with my casual worker balance of $289, one day I'll make it big :)
Can't wait to see more! I'm hoping to compete at a local con here in the Midwest in February too! Wishing you all the best on your build. :)
It will be so cool to follow you on the journey, I'm sure it will be a great series.
This is going to be super cool!!!!! i am very excited to watch the process.
this is such a well made video, it deserves way more attention. i love the way the interviews are edited.
Really like how your using scars build time laps music while talking to the judges/contestants
So excited to see the process!
so excited to see what you do!!!!! it’s such a cool design
For Ariel’s tail what about a mermaid tail skirt? With the layered belt fabrics and accessories on the top
This is going to be soooooo cool!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see how it comes out and I'm sure you will do amazing!!!!
Omg I’m so excited for this. It’s gonna look so amazing whatever you make. Absolutely stoked for this :DDD
Can't wait to see your final product!!
i love watching other makers compete and try new things! so i'm excited to see the rest of this build :3
man i forgot how much i love watching your videos its been a long time since i watch some so i hope your project will go well and to be honest im exited to see the final product❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good Luck with the Cosplay and the Contest! I'm actually putting together my own Minecraft Character Cosplays. Can't wait to see how your Cosplay turns out!
cant wait to see how ur ariel cosplay turns out, love ur content:)
Waiting to hear back from a prejudge online for my first competition, but it’s a big con so if I don’t get in I’m gonna try to enter a local con, this is so helpful!!!
🤔 maybe for the tail you can do a pair of pants/leggings or shorts with a high-low kind of skirt?? And if you do the shorts maybe you can do something like scale stockings or boots similar to the tail. 🤔 anyway, however you do the outfit will be awesome and I can't wait to see it!!!
She has returned with something amazing!
I love all the Momocon footage! I was in the contest this year c:
I just got back from school and this is the first thing I watched!!!
hi hello love your vids i could watch them for hours :)) idea for the tail perhaps like flowy skirt? but youre so real ive always been insecure about my lack of tail (legs amiright) and your words have brought me comfort
As a competitor i really appreciate the interview portion of this video! I now have somewhere to direct everyone when they're curious about what goes into a competition.
Can't wait for the adventure!
SHE HAS RETURNED
JESSS YAY YOU ARE BACK
the gag at 0:40 is too real lmfao, instant sub you're great
Maybe for the tail you could get a pair of green leggings and attach flowy fin-like bits of fabric, maybe in something like organza or some other somewhat sheer material?
In any case though, very much looking forward to seeing what the process and final product end up looking like!
Best of luck! Looks like a coolio design
I competed once before back in 2017 at a big con completely messed up did no prep just went for it but was nice to know what to expect
Usually i just do the masquerade without competing
This year im competing at novive level at a smaller con im actually trying to prepare this time 😂 my cosplay skill has hopefully improved and even if i dont win if i place or get an honourable mention that would be good enough
it’s always a good day when jess less posts!!
I would just like to say Thank You and this might seem a little weird because I'm a complete stranger but you give a little self confidence I struggle with seeing myself as beautiful but You seem a lot like me and I think you are beautiful (I'm talking about your looks and your personality mostly your personality when I talk about how you remind me of me) so for that I thank you
What app were you using to point out the different parts of the design? That looked so cool!
I wish you luck! I'm always too scared into enter into competitions, ha ha!
This needs more views :(
Cant wait to see your full Ariel build!
Can’t wait to see your cosplay at mega
I haven’t seen the video yet. But I know it will be amazing
Yes sir
I cosplayed a few times in middle school 2014/2015 and lacked the funds to continue and now I'm back with adult money! I finally got back into it this year when my local con opened back up from covid! I completely forgot how much I loved dressing up as characters~
No way my first competition was the same as Casey Renee's! My friend and I competed together and got first place in the group division!
I love that you're doing something disney!
hii! do you have any advices for cosplay begginers?
This makes me curious if you’re only able to enter a cosplay contest if you make it? 🤔 like are there people who enter cosplays that they bought or are there rules in place that you have to at least create part or most of your cosplay??
Headcanon that there are actually 4 JessLesses
Minecraft cosplays are literally all I ever feel inspired to make to completion ksadfj;a so no cosplay contests for me for the foreseeable future
Do you have an update on the Ariel cosplay?
what if you did green leggings and a green/turquoise sheer/mesh overskirt type thing under the sash/belt
THAT WAS YOU??? I SCREAMED WHEN YOU SHOWED THE POCKETS
Are we getting an update on this?
For the tail, what if you do leggings and sew fabric on them to mimic the fins. It would be much easier to walk around in than any attempt at a tight skirted tail.
One thing I will say as a UK cosplay competition competer the rules are different here
Welcome back sorry im so late
