Once you get your line up figured out, make a detailed list of everything each cosplay needs. If you plan on rewearing a cosplay you've already made, don't forget to make sure it fits and to see if anything needs to be fixed or replaced. Once you have a detailed list of everything (and I mean everything) that needs to be done, you can create a time line. For this time line, make sure that you break things up either by day or week in doable portions of tasks. If you bombard yourself with too many tasks, you will fall behind and lose motivation.
Sometimes you will fall behind schedule and that is okay. See if you can redistribute the tasks you have not finished yet to other days/weeks. If not, consider scraping a cosplay. Your health and well being are more important than get your line up done. I also find it is helpful to try on pieces as you go. Trying on a cosplay all together a week before the con and finding out most the pieces don't fit is disheartening. Trying things on as you go gives you an idea of what you need to fix and you can do it right away. Avoiding con crunch will make your con experience more enjoyable. You will be better rested and less stressed when the con is happening! Originally posted on Nerd Fest's Blog
