Hi there,
So this upcoming weekend I will be attending a four day convention. During this four day convention I have the opportunity to cosplay different characters and I have put together four outfits. That being said as the time draws closer my anxiety seems to be climbing higher and higher. I've been to this event before and they are really welcoming about most things. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person at this event to dress up as a character of the opposite sex, but I worry about presenting myself in this way for the first time publicly. This really is the best option I have at the moment to dress up though and it seems like a waste to go through all the trouble of putting the outfits together to not end up not wearing them. I don't mean to ramble. I was just hoping for some thoughts or guidance from people and what their first time dressing out in the open was like.
