So at Acen 07 I will be going as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, alternating during the days, but i am at a loss to find a wig that has ears, or is long enough.

Where do you find most of your wigs and accessories for cosplaying? I've already tried Ebay, and all i've found is a long white wig from Hong Kong, and would have to buy seperate ears, nothing that is one piece. Although i may go for the ears and wig seperately so i can use the long wig for Sesshoumaru as well.

For a wig, you should try looking at Cosworx.

Long wigs seem to cost more, but there are some medium length that would look nice for Sesshy and Inuyasha.

Pick one that looks best. It may require a bit of styling. I dont think decent looking wigs have the ears attached (and I dont know why they would). so seperate would be the way to go.

I havent bought a single wig yet, though Im sure there are other decent places to shop for one, than the place I suggested. You might want to check if you have a costume shop in your area, as they might carry nice quality wigs.

PS. Wigs require wig caps if you want it to look really nice.

I also recommend cosworx. They have a big variety of colors for their wigs. I've been to the wig shops by my house, and they only sell real human hair wigs with not a big range of colors and they're expensive.

I actually found my wig at a medieval costume shop. It was a Merlin wig and beard set, with the beard as a separate piece that went under the wig (I saved the beard in case I need to add extensions to the wig for another costume). But I have never seen a long white wig with ears attached. (Sometimes costume designers will sell ears as part of the package with an Inuyasha costume, but not the wig.)

A piece of advice: try to buy a thick wig, especially if your hair is anything darker than medium blond. I bought a rather cheap white wig for my first Inuyasha cosplay, and it was so thin that I ended up having to wear a white cap underneath it to keep my hair from showing through. Not ideal for cosplaying in the middle of the summer.

Cosworx has great wigs and so does http://amphigory.com/ Check it out and you should find some interesting styles and colors! :)

Watch out for the enchantment wig on amphigory. Its a bit thin on the top.
