How to wear armor to a convention? (For those with cosplay experience)

Asked by cutiepi92 (2252points) July 3rd, 2013

I know I’m a nerd lol but this question is directed at anyone who might have any cosplaying experience or at least know someone who does.

I already have a costume for the rest of this year, but it is made out of cloth so it’s easy to walk around and be comfortable in. My giant project for the conventions of 2014 is a Dragoon armor from Final Fantasy XIV. It looks like this: http://evil-siren.deviantart.com/art/FFXIV-Dragoon-Cosplay-Esumi-Aoi-1-381891093

That’s a person cosplaying it and this is the official art:

Awesome right? I think I can make it as long as I take my time (over the next 6 months) without getting frustrated. Problem is, how will I even wear this to a convention? I drive or have my boyfriend drive me, but how would I even fit in a car? How do people in general transport their armor costumes in general? They take up a lot of space…
