We’re a collective of artists and crafters who make custom kits, textiles, digital files and props for cosplayers and private clients. If you want to meet the team, click here!

We're located in Toronto, Ontario and are proudly Canadian. We'd love to have you at the shop, and accomodate visits by appointment only.

The majority of our business goes to the United States so sometimes we quote in USD, but our store prices are now displayed in CAD for our Canadian customers!

If you're looking for custom work, ask for a quote in CAD or USD; whatever your preference.

Everything is made-to-order and the bulk of our products are made in house. Our fabrics and clothing are designed in house and printed by Art of Where in Montreal, Quebec.

As of 2024, manufacturing of select jewelry pieces have been out-sourced to compete with demand and costs.

Our epoxy add on is manufactured in China.

It’s sad to us as artists that after a combined century of crafting experience, we need to publicly state that we do, in fact, create our works with our own hands, minds, imaginations and creative faculties.

We do not use generative or modern assistive AI in the creation of our work or in the operations of our business.

We also are strong advocates for removing generative AI from conventions. We support Artist Alleys with clear stances against AI “art”, and do not support or sponsor events that we know to use AI in their marketing and on their websites and socials.

There are, of course, precious few ways to interact with the internet without touching companies that use generative AI, but wherever possible we have made efforts to reduce our contact with them. Even here on Shopify, we have opted out from their AI program, making us ineligible to sell via the Shop app and on similar platforms, simply because we do not believe in supporting AI systems.

We understand that cosplay and costuming can produce a large amount of waste, which is why we recycle filament where possible through the filaments.ca recycling program.

We pack and ship our orders using as much recycled plastic and padding as possible. We achieve this by reusing packaging from orders shipped to us, as well as collecting extra packaging and shipping material from nearby businesses in our community.

Print files are digital products you can use to print our props at home on your 3D Printer. Our files come in .stl format and are generally sliced for 200mm x 200mm x 200mm printer beds or larger.

If you need files sliced for a smaller bed, or altered in any way, contact us! Alteration fees vary by complexity.

Yes! Modification fees may apply and vary by file.

Absolutely! If you don’t see the accessories you want listed as a kit, contact us for a
quote and timeline.

We can help you through basic troubleshooting and intricacies of individual files.

Please contact us with specific questions and provide screenshots or photos where appropriate. We also recommend this printer troubleshooting guide that can help you self-diagnose common issues.

Yes! We do print external files for a fee. However, these files must be print-ready and require no modifications- we are not responsible for the quality of prints created from external files. No refunds will be provided on external prints.

We will not alter or modify and external files created by other artists. We also have the right to refuse any external files.

A kit is an unfinished, unpainted cast-resin or printed assortment of pieces. While we pride ourselves on clean work that is practically ready to go, some minor sanding of sharp edges and filling of bubbles is necessary on occasion.

Generally, we sell two different types of kits:

3D Printed Kits - 3D Printed pieces that ship to you unassembled and unfinished. Filament colour may vary from the photos shown in listings.

Cast Kits - We used to refer to this category as resin kits, but now we offer kits cast in resin, silicone, urethane rubber, expanding foam, and other materials.

Unless you intend to make drastic changes to a piece, most resin and cast pieces can be put in a ready-to-paint state in fifteen minutes or less. Always refer to the listing for explicit finishing instructions, or view our tutorials.

"Raw" kits tend to have flashing, pour spouts and additional sanding work to be prepared before painting.

Every kit is hand-made. While we maintain consistent moulds, it is natural for hand-made items to have tiny variations between pieces.

Most of our pieces are cast from Smooth-On 30 urethane resin or 325/326 for clear casting resin.

For specialty pieces we use:

• Smooth-On's ONYX (Fast and Slow)
• Smooth-On's 45D, 57D, 60D (semi-rigid urethane resin)
• Smooth-On's Vytaflex (20-40 shore urethane rubber)
• Smooth-On's Ure-Fil 15 (Micro ballon filler for light weight
  casting)
• Smooth-On's Foam-It and FlexFoam-It series

3D Prints: Sometimes we're at the mercy of whatever colour filament our suppliers have in stock. If you have concerns about the colour of your kits, give us a shout. We can also print in requested colours on a case-by-case basis. Custom filament colours may incur a fee.

Cast Kits: We tint our pieces with a pigment these days because it helps us with quality control and makes it easier to photograph. It varies slightly from batch to batch. Sometimes your pieces may come from different batches and colour will vary.

Absolutely. It is easy to heat up a piece with a heat gun or a strong hairdryer and form it as desired. It is very possible to fold a thin piece completely in half with a bit of care. Thicker pieces will take a bit more time.

We recommend working slow and in stages; if you heat a piece too much it may warp, and if you try to bend it without sufficient heat it will crack/snap.

Check out our tutorial blog for tips on how to sand, prime, paint and assemble your kits. Some specific guides we have are:

Some of our kits have ‘finished’ options already up in the shop, but if you’re not seeing the one you want, email us for a quote! We take finished prop requests on a case-by-case basis.

All textiles are designed by our team in-house. When you place an order for a fabric, we turn around and inform our printers of the order. From there, they either ship the finished fabrics directly to you, or ship them to our shop in Toronto if they require any cutting or additional quality control.

Orders on fabric are fulfilled through Art of Where in Montreal, Canada. They generally take 7-14 days processing depending on the time of year and how busy they are.

Here is a full list of how to care for each of our textiles based on the type of material.

While we take pride in the cleanliness of our shop and products, we do not work in a sterile environment. Prior to wearing, we recommend sterilizing and cleaning your earring posts, backings, piercings etc. with whatever methods your piercer recommends.

Temporary tattoos may cause irritation for people with sensitive skin. Test a small spot on your skin before applying the tattoo in it's entirety. If you’re experiencing discomfort post-application, remove the tattoo as soon as possible.

We are not responsible for any allergic reactions or sensitivities. 

Your milage may vary on how long tattoos last! Temporary tattoos are more likely to rub off or peel along creases in skin or body (ie: eyelids, elbows, between breasts). 

How to apply:

1. Clean your skin with soap and water. Make sure your skin is completely dry before continuing.
2. Remove the plastic film from your tattoo.
3. Hold your tattoo face down wherever you want to apply it.
4. Wet a sponge or paper towel and hold it against the tattoo backing, allowing the water to soak through the paper. 
5. Remove the backing by sliding it away and gently rub the wet sponge over the applied tattoo for the best results.
6. Finish with setting powder, or a light dusting of baby powder over the tattoo. This will get rid of the tacky feeling a temp tattoo gives, and also remove some of the sheen so it looks more realistic.
   

Applying a tattoo while wearing makeup:

• Moisturize before your makeup application so that any lotion you put on has time to absorb into your skin, (obviously this time might vary depending on what products you use).
  
• You're going to want to apply the tattoo BEFORE any makeup. Makeup is oily, so even if the tattoo does stay on AFTER makeup application, it might start peeling or not last the whole day.
  
• Wait and let the tattoo dry fully after you've applied it.
  
• Apply makeup as you would normally.
  
• Finish with setting powder, or a light dusting of baby powder over the tattoo. This will get rid of the tacky feeling a temporary tattoo gives, and also remove some of the sheen so it looks more realistic. (You may not want to do this over the "chrome" tattoos
  

How to Remove:

• In our testing, we can confirm that the tattoos are resistant to hand soap, water, sweat, and clothing rubbing against them.
  
• To remove tattoos the most effectively, use oil-based shower gels and makeup removers in combination with water and a rough scrubbing cloth.

You earn 2 Loot points for every dollar spent.

We cannot accept Loot points on custom orders, commissions, or gift cards. We cannot accept Loot points on purchases made through our Storenvy, Cults, or any other platform.

Loot has no cash value outside of DangerousLadies.ca and cannot be used on cash purchases in shop, or at conventions.

Right now, there are three ways to earn Loot.
