Review : Buying from Wish an Asuka Plugsuit

Everyone’s seen Wish advertised on Facebook and similar sites. They’re very cheap, but a lot of people are hesitant to buy without knowing what the quality is like.
Thankfully, I am not one of those people and I decided to throw my £17.14 (+£10 shipping) into the void and see what came back.

This was the advert for the plug suit I decided to go for:

As a plus-size Cosplayer in both build and height, I have to pay close attention to the size charts of anything I’m going to order unless it is custom sized. Here’s the size chart that accompanied the advert:

Given I won’t be binding for Asuka, I followed the women’s size chart. I am 6’ (183cm) tall, so I instantly bought the biggest size to ensure it would fit. I checked the other measurements which were all within range and, given this is made of a highly stretching material, I thought would fit me well.
Made my order on September the 7th, 2019, my order was shipped on September 11th, 2019 and arrived on September the 20th, 2019. Not bad for a stab in the dark!

Now, the big questions. Quality and fit.

As I said before, I’m 6’ tall and I am plus-size, wearing a 14-16 in ladies clothing sizes, so I was dubious when I pulled this bad boy out of its little bag.

This is what it looks like on my mannequin!

So I will start with the bad, because then you know it gets better, right?

Bad things:

Now, I’m no master seamstress, but damn those are some messy butt seams. The thread is visible all over the suit, especially when stretched. It doesn’t bother me that much, but it could be annoying if you intend on using the suit repeatedly or for professional shoots. In an ideal world, I would unpick all the seams and redo them, but we will have to see how time goes!

The zip fits well and functions well, but my word is that slider hard to do up on your own. It is so tiny, and when you have Lycra on your hands? It’s next to impossible! So if you intend on wearing this alone… I hope you’re very bendy.

And now, the good!

It fits VERY nicely. The sizing is exactly as described in the table, the stretch is perfect in all directions and I had a full range of motion all over, no bunching or pinching. 
It looks amazing on, really –  I rarely cosplay female characters but felt so confident in this, I’m actually going to wear it to a con.
It also arrived in 13 days from order to my doorstep – perfect for a quick emergency cosplay for a con.
So overall, my thoughts?
I have actually recommended this suit to my friends! Given it is less than £20, it’s an instant cosplay that would definitely work for a con. I will be adding a bigger zip for ease of changing, and hidden zippers in the wrists so I can use my phone, but other than that? It’s con ready.
If you’re considering buying from Wish, my advice is:

  • Check the size charts carefully
  • Check for reviews, good OR bad
  • Pay with PayPal, to give you buyers protection in case anything goes wrong

I hope my little review is helpful! Enjoy your shopping!

This week’s Cosplays We Like comes from Princess Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog” franchise. Princess Tiana is a fictional character in Walt Disney Pictures’ 49th animated feature film, The Princess and the Frog (2009). She is depicted as a hardworking waitress who dreams of opening her own restaurant. Tiana is voiced by Anika Noni Rose as an adult and by Elizabeth M. Dampier as a child. The character is loosely based on two princesses: Princess Emma, the heroine of E. D. Baker’s 2002 novel The Frog Princess, and the princess from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “The Frog Prince,” which inspired Baker’s novel. Tiana is also inspired by famed New Orleans chef Leah Chase. Tiana’s story revolves around her transformation into a frog after desperately kissing a prince who has been turned into one by an evil witch doctor. Throughout the film, she embarks on an adventure to break the spell and find true love. Tiana has been praised for her personality and values, but her depiction and that of her community have been criticized for lacking emphasis on racial issues.

Who’s going to MCM London in October time?… It’s always exciting to know that I can get a pass from the comic con organisers. As some people know, I’ve been applying for press/creator passes for many years now and this event I have been fortunate to be granted a pass. Regarding uploading my photoshoot schedule, I need to plan out the schedule I want to offer to people who want to shoot with me. I plan to release it on my website on October 5th at 6 pm. Please Note : You’ll need to visit my website as social media will be slow to share the link. Hopefully, by then most people will know if they are going to MCM London and what their cosplay lineup is.  As always there are a few rules, please only book with me if you know what cosplay you want to shoot with me. Please pick a time that you can reasonably get to me. Also, I’ll need a way to contact you via any of your social media accounts, such as Instagram or Twitter. If you pick more than one slot, I have the choice to pick which one cosplay I like to shoot. This isn’t a reflection on your cosplay but I want to give everyone a chance to shoot with me at least once over the weekend.  I just want to also say that, all my slots for photoshoots are free of charge. The event organisers have rules which prevent anyone from charging their time at comic con regardless of whether they have a press/creator pass or have general entry, you should not give money in exchange for photos.  Taken from MCM / Reedpop Website I look forward to everyone’s cosplays they are submitting for me to shoot at MCM London Excel. I love to see what cosplays people have, poses to think of and possible locations to shoot people.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via the contact page or any of my social media pages. See you guys soon. For more cosplay photos, visit our Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook page Twitter Instagram Facebook WordPress Like this:Like Loading... [...] Read more...
