This is the sister thread to the wig thread. (This thread was merged with the old one about Sailor Moon costumes with permission).
For those who do not sew, I prefer not to give online shop for Sailor Moon costumes simply because I never ordered from any, but if you have and received a good service, please do share with us~
I'll add links as we go and find stuff. (All the links should lead to the accounts / correct page of the tutorial makers. If you find one that is not the case, tell me and I'll go seek for the correct source).
About tutorials: Not all tutorials are good for everyone. Sometimes you have to look at many tutorials for the result to satisfy you. It's all about trying, making mistakes and improving your skills. About costumes: When making a costume, if you look for "perfect accuracy" (perfection doesn't exist), using only one picture of reference is not recommended. About colors: This is usually the tricky part. Since many pictures can have different colors, I think checking on other cosplayers to see which colors come back the most could be a good idea.
Online Shops: [Empty for now]
Patterns: [Quick note about patterns: they often are nothing more than baseline for costumes because characters are known to have fairly weird or uncommon clothing designs. But these can be considered bases for the Sailors' leotards]
PS: Cosplay tutorials / resources other than the Sailors are a pain in the... to find. So if you do and you want to share, it'll be a great addition to this list.

I'm happy there's so many great tutorials out there to help out fellow moonies and cosplayers! I'm especially loving Kapalaka's tiara tutorial, hadn't seen it before!
Also - here's a tutorial I just discovered. Sure wish I had found it a couple years ago... TUTORIAL: Sailor Moon Eternal Sleeves

I found a tutorial a while back I just don't remember where, but it said to get the skating dress patten for the basic fukus. I think you can order them off line. I'll look for it again.

Ok so I was looking around the net and i found these people. They seem to have some great wigs that aren't too badly priced! I believe i'll be getting a couple from them.

I was going to do that also.
I was going to post one for patterns and one for buying supplies or should I put it all in one? What do you guys think?

Just a reminder to always use the appropriate cosplay tags here when making a topic. I've already edited the tags in your original post for you.

Simplicity has an actual "Sailor Moon" pattern (not named SM, but the model is obviously supposed to be her) under the costumes category. I'm at work right now but can try to find the pattern number when I go to the sewing store on Tuesday (assuming I remember to look).

@Sailor Mars: I'm sorry, I forgot to tag this one x) thank you. I'll be more careful next time. @Andalusite: Pattern added. I don't know how accurate this pattern is, but I know we wanted to get it at least to know how they were doing the 'sleeves' and roll-up belt for the skirt.

I was looking around DeviantArt to see if there were any general tutorials on staffs when I stumbled across a couple of Sailor Moon staffs.
This one is for Sailor Cosmos' staff: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Sailor-Cosmos-Staff-Tutorial-189674376
This one is not a tutorial, but rather a WIP compilation that I thought might be useful for anybody trying to figure out how to construct Sailor Pluto's Time Staff: http://nettycosplay.deviantart.com/art/WIP-Sailor-Moon-Pluto-Time-Staff-Cosplay-Prop-267918287
