After you have done a few cosplays you may look back on past cosplays and want to give them a revamp.

For example the first time I cosplayed Peggy Carter I thought I looked amazing, however comparing pictures of the first time I cosplayed her to the most recent pictures of me cosplaying her there is a huge amount of progress, especially with my hair and makeup.

My hair is styled in a way which more accurately represents Peggy and her 1950s pin up style and my makeup also more accurately resents the time period Peggy is from.

Another personal example of a cosplay revamp that I have done is my ‘Hufflepuff Student’ cosplay.

In early 2018 I started off with a hufflepuff tie and scarf and white shirt, however I used black socks and a black skirt and wore a black plain cardigan rather than a Hogwarts robe.

However a year and a half onwards in late 2019 I had redone my hufflepuff cosplay to include grey socks and a grey skirt and a proper Hogwarts robe, which made the character a lot more realistic to the uniforms the students wear in the Harry Potter movies.

Overall revamping an old cosplay can be funnier, quicker and cheaper than buying or making a whole new cosplay and spending more time/money on a new costume. I love revamping my favourite cosplays and improving them each time I wear them to make them more accurate and better representing of the character I am cosplaying.
