How can cosplayers prepare for an International Comic Con?

Cosplayers should plan their costumes well in advance, starting with design and sourcing materials. This includes researching the character, creating or purchasing the costume, and practicing poses and mannerisms. Comfort is crucial, especially during long convention days. They should also consider carrying a cosplay repair kit, bringing extra parts, and planning for photo opportunities and interactions with other fans. Checking convention rules regarding prop weapons is also important.
