WHAT WINS COSPLAY CONTESTS? A Deep Dive on Armor vs. Sewing

IT TOOK A MONTH, BUT MY ARMOR VS. SEWING VIDEO IS FINALLY HERE!! WHO DO YOU THINK WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS??? In this video, I take a look at this topic in terms of cosplay contests, but a lot of what I have to say is applicable to much more than just those terms, so keep that in mind. And I really hope you find this project enlightening!! (Also, I previewed this like five times and I swear I'm gonna notice like a dozen typos in this video as soon as it's live — sorry.)

Watch my last video, where I competed in my FIRST EVER cosplay performance contest, here:    • MY FIRST EVER COSPLAY SKIT CONTEST | ...
