Emergency Cosplay Repair Station

The Emergency Cosplay Repair station provides supplies for cosplayers to repair damage suffered by costumes during the convention. Most costumes are fragile and complicated and it is easy for things to go wrong during a long three days. We provide a variety of repair materials both for cloth and fabric and for props. In addition, there will be at least one Masquerade staff member on duty at the Cosplay Repair Station at all times, who will give assistance and advice to those who need it. These materials are provided free of charge to all convention attendees.

These materials are not intended to be used to make costumes during the convention or to finish costumes you were unable to complete before the convention –- they are intended only as emergency supplies. Anyone who comes requesting to use the materials to finish or create a costume will be turned down because we need to conserve materials for repair.

The Emergency Cosplay Repair Station is open only when Masquerade Headquarters is open, so it will not be available during late-night hours or during major cosplay events, including the Masquerade, though Masquerade participants will be given access to the supplies if necessary.

A full list of the craft supplies available at the repair station will be available at the station during the convention. Here is a sample of materials included in last year's repair kit:
