D.va cosplay review by ZentaiZone



Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well! ^^ 

Today i will be bringing a review of D.va's cosplay sponsored by Zentai Zone!
I was allowed to choose one suit and ended up choosing the D.va suit! I don't play Overwatch because i lack the time and skill, so i hope no one gets upset LOL

I chose D.va because she was the only character i wanted to cosplay from the website, i didn't want to cosplay spider man :') no offense to spider man

I don't have her gun, or headset, but let's see if i get my lazy butt up and go make it :')) 
EDIT: I DID GET MY LAZY BUTT UP AND MAKE IT AHAHAHA

This is a custom made suit, and ZentaiZone has two options! Either pick a set size or get it custom made according to your measurements! I am very skinny and was worried about the suit being too large, because the suit is supposed to be skintight.. I provided them with my measurements the first time in inches, but my measurements were incorrect because my measuring tape's inch side is wrong! >< I didn't realize until i looked at it one day and realized that the twelve inch mark on the tape was much bigger than a normal ruler. So i remeasured myself in centimeters and the tailors said that the measurements looked correct this time! Phew, glad i caught the mistake on time!

Another helpful thing to mention if anyone is interested in purchasing a suit from ZentaiZone! They offer extras such as crotch zippers, soles for the feet, removable gloves, and more! These of course cost extra money, but its not super expensive! For example, detachable gloves only cost an extra $5! 

I was actually quite scared to wear a bodysuit, because i see many other d.va cosplayers wearing a traditional bra and the line can be seen.. U w U And especially in the crotch area i was worried as well, because it would be hard to go to the bathroom... :')


Sorry for my rambling, lets begin!

So my suit took quite awhile to arrive. Due to my measuring mistake, the suit's production date kept lagging on and on.. UwU

On the website, it says that it takes about 6-8 working days to process an order and 3-6 working days for shippinf. That's about 9-14 working days for it to get to you. My processing time took a lot longer, about a month, only because i measured wrong and had to send them new measurements.. I also emailed them about the possibility of having it get here before Friday (3/24/17), and they said they would try, but sadly the suit didn't end up coming in. I needed it to come in earlier because i got a new camera but my mom is using it during her trip to Europe which will be a duration of twelve days. I was hoping to get some photos of the suit before Friday so i could take some photos of the suit. My mom leaves the states on Friday, so i won't be able to take photos of anything until two weeks later.. :(( 

So the suit came in a FedEx baggy and inside the baggy, there was another plastic baggy with "Zentai Zone" printed on it. I got so excited when i was cutting the bag open that i accidentally cut the Zentai Zone bag, luckily i didn't cut the suit though! :'))

The suit fit perfectly, but the arms were a bit loose. You can't notice though, which is good! The printing looks awesome and the suit is so so comfy! My only problem though, which i was expecting, is that the suit gets a bit hot to wear when i wear it for too long? Obviously, skintight suits will have some sort of heat discomfort so i don't think i'll be wearing this in the summer, probably for colder conventions though!



The suit also has some muscle shading, which is super cool! It's most prominent around the butt (LMAO), and it looks really cool!



MEKA symbol on the leg!! The printing is beautiful and very clear.


Adorable details up front! I love the bunny, its so cute and is pretty much a replica of D.va's bunny on her suit. The details are well constructed, like the screws (idk what else to call them LOL). See the greyish thingies on my waist? That;s what i mean :')


Onto my personal favorite part, the sponsor logos! They are very accurate to the original design, and are printed very nicely. They're mirrored in the photo so you might not be able to see some of them/make out what they say.. >< You can also see this patch (?) on my kneecap and another screw (?) to the right of it.


More chest details! The print is super vibrant and the blue color is darker in real life. The sewing is very nicely done and i haven't had any problems with it!


Such an aesthetic photo, i don't know why.. :')

The pink leg wrap things also go inside of the leg, so its very accurate! 


Here you can see the sponsor logos clearer, although its still mirrored, sorry!!


awkward butt photo
i meant to show the back of the suit, but you can see what i mean when i said the shading really helps your butt *cough cough*
The back details are so amazing! I love the colors so much. Also, there is a zipper on the back, a pretty long one actually. It goes from your lower back to your neck. It was hard for me to zip it up myself, but i managed to get the hang of it as i tried it on more often!


Also, the round things on the upper arm. They look very three-dimensional, and look almost like a bottle cap. (i make the worst comparisons, sorry!! :'))



awfully awkward pose but MEKA symbol!


HERES A NON MIRRORED SPONSOR LOGO PICTURE FINALLY



me being the usual me
flexibility test


Knee patch details


Foot details, i think i will put some soles in because i don't want to get the suit's feet dirty.




its so cute!! The fabric is very stretchy and almost cooling when you first put it on! It does get kind of stuffy and warm as time goes on, so i don't recommend wearing this for prolonged periods!


Andddd here's my gun! I struggled a lot making it, but it turned out really nice so it's okay! ^^


I love how my gun looks, I'm proud of how it came out even though it only cost me 10 bucks to make! :) I definitely want to make more props in the future!


I was trying on my yoshiko wig at the same time as i was trying my suit on so this happened 




I have my D.va wig already but lack the time for photos due to my finals and MCAS coming soon.. I promise i'll update this post when i get some photos of me actually as D.va!

Update:








This is it for now, bye bye!~
