I don't like buying my cosplays. I like making them. They just seem to fit better that way. I'm having a hard time finding the right kind of material for my next cosplay, though. I need a pink material with a large plaid print like this. Have you guys seen any around or know a good site for finding material? On the off chance does anyone know if I could possibly make my own plaid? And if so is there a tutorial?

i could only find :

http://www.fabric.com/apparel-fashion-fabric-plaid-fabric-double-sided-yarn-dyed-plaid-voile- fabric.aspx

one of those might be good... not the exact pattern though...

btw that chatacter is adorable!!! which anime/manga is she from?

*Confession* She's from a GAL game.... it's rather ecchi. But she's the only plus size girl I've seen in a game or anime that's really cute.

this is kinda close to what you are looking for but it's fleece :/

**shakes fist** If only I had some kind of pattern transfer machine so I could put it on cotton! I imagine it would be weird to wear a fleece school girl skirt.

lol i know right? if you want i can do some researching on how-to's to transfere prints

I tried searching a bit.  Here's a few I came accross..

Who would have thought it'd be so hard to find an actual pink plaid fabric pattern.  It's weird.

The was the closest one I could find on etsy...

I'm thinking I may just make it myself. like using ribbons as the stripes and sewing them on. If I do that and it works, I may post a tutorial. Fingers crossed. I have until the Summer to figure it out...

I did a bit of hunting. This is what I found:
