Since it’s Dragoncon season again, the question keeps coming up – “How do you wear so many costumes at a convention??” I’ve answered the question here at my blog once before, but I thought I’d tackle it again, this time a little less tongue-in-cheek.

Do what
One of the questions I get a lot from random people is how do I wear so many costumes at Dragoncon? (On average, I usually wear around 12 costumes at Dragoncon.)

Dragoncon updates: Group Costumes, etc
Still plugging along, but I don’t have much to show since for the past week I’ve been working nonstop on the two group costumes.
