With unlimited time and resources I would just become BATMAN

Clearly there are some parts of the show showing cosplay in a positive light, or I wouldn't be seeing Tweets and Facebook posts about people inspired to cosplay because of the show, and excited to cosplay.

Personally I believe the cosplay community is being its own harshest critic against those of its own and the show, and it's not nearly as dramatic, negative, catty, or judgmental as everyone is making it out to be.

When I see the show, what do I see? That AWESOME GALACTUS, and other cosplayers around the con having a good time with a smile on their face. And that's what most viewers are seeing as well.

I'll jump in if you don't mind - there are a lot of online and local options. Places like JoAnns Fabrics usually have sewing classes, you could also check out community college or mom and pop fabric stores to see if they offer sewing classes. There are loads of tutorials on Deviantart, Cosplay.com, and YouTube. The same goes for makeup design. These are great ways to start whether she wants to do it professionally or as a hobby.

You could also reach out directly to costume and makeup designers to see how they got their start, and what they would suggest.

Any character that wears regular clothes, because likely you'll have what you need in your closet, or can find something at a department store or thrift store.
