Princess and the Sea

Amie of Princess and the Sea has been cosplaying since 2020 when she fished out an old party costume to cheer up her goddaughter! She was then introduced to the Dream Team and with their support and friendship shes created new costumes and made lots of people smile!

"I like to give myself the extra challenge of using thrifted or recycled items wherever possible and show that cosplay can be accessible to everyone. This year I will be appearing as Ariel and my interpretation of a Disney Princess Leia!"

FaeAndWildflowers

Lucy has been cosplaying for several years now. She loves the empowering feeling that comes with cosplaying strong female characters and has a particular soft spot for fantasy-themed cosplays. Lucy also loves the challenge of making her own cosplays and the pride of finishing them- even if she sews by hand! She loves working with Dream Team Portsmouth to spread smiles and a little bit of magic! “To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered.”

I'm Olly, I'm 28. I've been building costumes and costume parts for 5 years and attending conventions for at least 9 years. Though I don't have a variety of costumes, my taste in pop culture is the opposite.

Paul has been cosplaying since 2016. It started out with a stormtrooper and has expanded to a few more including Ghostbusters, Judge Dredd and Ironman to name a few! Ironman will always be the favourite. It always brings a smile to both kids and adults alike!

Courtney started out as an artist frequenting conventions in the 2010s and quickly became involved in the cosplay communities surrounding these events. She has now been cosplaying for around 11 years and continues to create artwork in her spare time. Courtney found that cosplaying was a great way to get out from behind the table at conventions and really become involved with others who share the same love and passion for pop culture as her.conventions and really become involved with others who share the same love and passion for pop culture as her.

I am Gary. I have been cosplaying for 4 years. I enjoy upgrading costumes that I have bought, to make them different from other cosplayers.

fay

Fay has been costuming for nearly 11 years. Princess Leia was her first, followed by Sabine Wren. Since then she's had fun as Harley, Joker, Blackcat and other characters. She enjoys sharing a passion and time with like minded friends while making people smile. Fay plans to cosplay Nezuko from Demon Slayer at this year’s Portsmouth Comic Con.

Saqqarakev

Kev has been cosplaying for 4 years as Captain Jack Sparrow, it started as a dare if you will to dress up for Halloween at work. It then became a quest to make and/or upgrade the costume. “I'm addicted to making people smile and Dream Team Portsmouth has facilitated that.”
