We’ve all had that dreadful moment at a convention: a costume malfunction, usually at the worst time. Something that was stuck when you left home, isn’t. Something needs sewing. Something needs hot glue.
Something needs to be done! But where to go for help? Cosplay HQ Repair station, that’s where!
Supanova’s Cosplay Repair Station is available over the weekend for all cosplay repair problems. Our skilled team is able to assess and repair your costume, give you quality advice, and get you out and ready for your photo shoots and onto the stage for the competition.
