PROMARE Lio Fotia Leather Cosplay Costume with Belts Set

HELLO 2023 AND BEYOND PROMARE ENJOYERS. Overall great costume for a good price, especially since I got it on sale! Shipping took a little under a month I think. The fabric is really shiny, which is fitting, though does make it kinda squeaky when you walk lol. It’s surprisingly not TOOOO uncomfortable, albeit very hot to wear at Summer cons. Zippers/fabric stretch/seperation of pieces/belt loops etc make it reasonably easy to get off considering how tight it is, and also help everything feel durable and secure when wearing the costume. I ordered with the size chart, I was in between M and L and I went with M so that it would fit tighter like it does on Lio, which was a good choice. I wouldn't necessarily say to size down but for me I went on the smaller side and it worked well. There were a few things off with the quality, namely the white belt and studded shoulder piece felt cheap-- the "studs" being sewn on fabric pieces, and not having much structure. My package was also missing one of the shin straps, which sucks, but I’ve been in communication with customer service and so far it seems like they’re willing to send me another one. This cosplay comes with almost all of the pieces of his costume, but Lio has kneepads that are not included in this set (although probably not noticeable unless you're a detail freak like me). I should disclose that There are alterations in some of the photos attached to this review: - made a set of kneepads with EVA foam and held them onto the pants with magnets - made a replacement for the shoulder pad: wrapped a foam rectangle with scrap pleather that I put metal studs on, which I hot glued right over the one sewn into the costume - replaced the belt with a white studded belt from amazon - wore a ruffled high collared shirt under the jacket instead of the collar that comes with the cos, though I did use the baby-bib looking thing - resized the black straps to a more fitting length for my proportions, by marking where I wanted them to end, cutting to a point, and re-stitching over where I had cut - added some detail: lined/added trim to all of the straps, as well as the new shoulder piece and knee pads, with hand-cut strips of holographic vinyl from amazon that I wrapped around the edges (1cm wide strips, cut to length of straps or parameter of the foam pieces, folded over the edge down the center so there was 1/2cm on the front and 1/2cm the back). Always thought holographic Lio cosplays were cool, but I didn't want to pattern and sew his outfit from scratch using holographic fabric. By using this storebought cosplay and adding holographic material in I was able to get something I was happy with in a way that was time/money efficient :o) Feel free to reach out to me @goldngelic for more explanation on how I did those alterations (including kneepad patterns and links for materials)!!!

*sorry for my bad english* This costume is one of the best what I ever had! Quality is just so amazing. I was little afraid that it will not be comfortable, but material of the costume is so great and oh god it looks so good! I choose size through the size chart and it fits so well! As if it was tailor-made for me. :D <3 So if you looking for great Lio costume you should try this one!

****excuse my bad English**** I was scared bc there where no reviews but i'm rly happy i did buy this cosplay. The copslay was very well and neatly packaged. There is no damage, the white belt is a bit 'wavy' but thats normal. The fabric is great, its extremely reflective and i love it. It is is a lil bit hot to wear but its totally okay. The pants are a bit short for me (and i'm only 167cm) but thats fine because i was going to pair it with boots. The fabric is rly stretchy and doesn't become see true when stretched. Some of the leg belts are a lil bit big but thats an easy fix. No need to size up IMO. 100% recommend
