15 times when Japanese cosplayers forgot part of their costumes and found genius solutions【Pics】

Find out how a little quick thinking with simple objects can save the day in a pinch.

If there’s one thing that every cosplayer has experienced at one point or other, it’s the frustration of leaving part of his or her carefully crafted costume at home on the day of the big photo shoot. However, before that feeling of despair sinks in, some cosplayers have used their quick thinking skills to divert a potential disaster into a favorable outcome.

Stories of such mishaps are currently trending on Japanese Twitter under the hashtag #レイヤー忘れ物伝説 (“tales of cosplayers forgetting things”). We’ve got to hand it to them – while most of the makeshift solutions make use of ordinary, on-hand items, they’re hardly noticeable in the finished portraits. See if you can spot the clever fixes in the following tweets:

1. “I forgot my buttons so I drank two bottles of vitamin drink really quickly.”

2. “I never thought I would use this tag. Today I forgot Ichigo Hitofuri’s tie, but I somehow managed with this camera strap! Thank you, Tsuru-san.”

3. “I forgot my white shirt but I made up for it by using wet wipes. I had the cameraman place the wipes one by one around my neck area and then we took the photos with them still moist.”

Apart from the unfortunate guy with the heels, we probably never would’ve noticed the rest of these quick fixes. In other words, don’t give up if you ever happen to forget something on the way to your own photo shoot!
