What is cosplay?

Cosplay

Cosplay is dressing up like your favorite character. These characters can be from animes, comic books, tv shows, video games, and movies. Cosplayers try to get as close to the original character as they humanly can. Here we have Elsa and Anna from the movie Frozen.

What is Disney Bounding?

Disney Bounding

The easiest way to understand "disney bounding" is dressing up in normal clothing that is inspired by a character! There is a whole blog dedicated to ideas for many different characters. That blog is http://disneybound.co ! We have a picture from Disneybound.co of a Mushu inspired disney bound. Mushu is the red dragon in the artwork for those who don't know!

Disney bounding isn't complicated as it may seem. You can pull from your own closet, or you can get innovative and create your own looks.
