Cosplay, short for "costume play," has grown from its origins at fan conventions into a billion-dollar global dress phenomenon. This book takes us from elaborately crafted DIY costumes to online fandoms, examining how the practice of portraying fictional characters from popular culture through dress and performance has become a creative means of expressing and playing with different identities.
