Cosplay Starter Kit: Ms Frizzle

Hey everyone!

This new series is all about inspiring new cosplayers to join in the fun. The idea is we put together a “starter pack” with a bunch of different options for a particular character. Our goal is to be able to provide you with a complete look or inspire you in some way. We are 100% sure there are a million more options out there but everyone’s got to star somewhere, right? Hence us calling it a “starter pack”. Take as much or as little as you like. There will be DIY options and great places to buy different elements of the look. Hopefully this will be useful and let us know what you think!
