Could someone give me some advice on making a good uboa costume?

What's your definition of "Good"
Are you going for Gijinka Uboa, Realistic Uboa, accurate Uboa?

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP YOU IF YOU CAN'T HELP ME BOY

Trying to be a giant full suite uboa like in the opening post. I don't want to look like this picture

Oh, should have figured. Welp, of course get the back fabric and white fabric, should be the very first thing you do. One good way to do it is…

>Sew face onto black fabric.

>Drape super long black fabric over a fullsized umbrella. Sew it on
>Don't actually look out face, but out the right eye, because it'll be big enough for you to see through
>Fabric is now hanging loose, allowing even exposure to it, if you get light enough black fabric, you'll stay nice and cool whilst still being invisible. Any movement will also look fucking cool.
>at the bottom of long fabric, shred it up. Get the fabric way longer than you need for this effect to be the best
> fabric is now super feathery. When it "sits" it'll naturally spread out more.


An extension to that would be getting some PVC pipe, a 5 splitter, and putting some wheels on it, so that way it could stand on it's own, and it's movements would be extremely smooth.

Those were just some ideas though.

Wouldn't a full size umbrella be to big in a con setting?

There are always big cosplays, this would be one of them. Plus since you can always close an umbrella, you wouldn't have to keep it open all the time in the more crowded places. Plus, it'd be cool to have a small Poniko cosplay to wear under the Uboa cosplay. Two cosplays at Once!

You can get a smaller sized umbrella if you so wish it instead. Regardless the operation stays the same. Just make sure you use light enough fabric so that the umbrella can easily support it.

what about one of those umbrella hats?

Those aren't generally big enough AFAIR.
Suppose it would work though, but it would still look awkward IMO.
