A comm for fans of Ghostbusters (2016) to chat, cheer, and share fanworks.
*wave wave* First post on Imzy and I saved it for Holtzmann!
Hey all!
I'm going to be cosplaying a lady Ghostbuster at DragonCon this year. My hair isn't great for any of them (it's short and brown) and my Holtzmann glasses are ordered and scheduled to be delivered in November, so I'm not totally Holtzmann yet, but I'm going Holtzmann-inspired.
I've got the jumpsuit and I have to sew on the patch and the reflective stripes. I think I'm going to wear my Chuck Taylors instead of boots, mostly because boots are expensive.
But I think the gist will be there.
Anyway, just wanted to say hey. Pictures will be forthcoming when I get it finished. :)




Nice!! Excited for the pics! Good luck with getting everything ready!
So what do you plan to do about your hair? Growing & dyeing it or getting a wig? I've seen some wigs online for Holtzmann and, boy, they were pretty bad
They're SOOO bad. I think I'm just going to wave my hair as is and deal w/ it.
I know rigghtt! Yeah, I feel natural hair is always best when cosplaying if you can style it right. Some wigs are just so bad, and you'll always have to style them anyways so like why??
but yeah, good luck with your hair! hope you have a lot of fun at DragonCon. I assume it's a long time from now? idk I'm not American/wherever that con is lol
Oh! Yeah, it's next weekend in Atlanta. It's always Labor Day Weekend. :)
Oooooh I see! So you won't have the glasses either then. Okay, the reason why you stated when you're getting them makes sense now hahaha 😅
I'm sure you'll look great anyways :D
You could always steal some shoes from a bowling alley, which I maintain is what Holtzmann is wearing in the first scene in the firehouse.
Your cosplay sounds awesome. And also really comfortable!
Side note - I can't even work out how Holtzmann's hairdo is constructed. Anyone able to explain it to me or know of tutorials? What makes it, like, do that?
This video tutorial seems to get it quite right I only browsed through it, but the end product looks pretty accurate. However, I highly doubt Holtz is going to spend half an hour on her hair every day hahaha
AWESOME! I wish I was going to DragonCon again...some of my best memories are from there. So much fun! Where did you get the jumpsuit? I've never been one for sewing costumes, but if I could buy a jumpsuit, I would be one step closer to cosplaying as something haha.
Can't wait to see pics!!
Here's the jumpsuit I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0155G664M/ref%3Doh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Reflective tape: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F7XXXHG/ref%3Doh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Patch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FE61MAW/ref%3Doh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I hope that helps if you want to! You should try it out. I know there are name patches online but I want to get one more viewing in to figure out placement and look because it's hard to find screenshots of their backs. I want to get a Holtzmann name patch for sure.
AWESOME! Thank you for sharing those links. :-) I think if I do it, I will just be ME as a Ghostbuster because they will eventually have to hire more people, right? :D
