If you're like me and couldn't be arsed to make it up to Seattle this year but still dig you some gaming in general and PAX in particular, gamespot has a couple articles up covering the best cosplay and game related crap to buy there this year. As usual, there were way too many Deadpools.
Mind you, if you're looking for aggressive navels, you won't find them at PAX this year as they were banned. This didn't sit well with some on Twitter, thus the hashtag #PAXNavelPolicy was spawned by the wacky folks of #GamerGate for all your navel needs. Sic Semper Umbilicus.

"Partial nudity, the aggressive display of cleavage and the navel"
The word "aggressive" is linked to "display of cleavage and the navel", not JUST "the navel"
Any person with cleavage *to the navel* (especially a well-endowed female) is being aggressively sexual, (and sexually aggressive, for that matter)
Alas, little boys* see the characters in games (and the people going to the VMAs http://time.com/4016453/vmas-2015-mtv-red-carpet-photos/ [time.com] ) and seem to think that is how women (and girls) should dress, and anyone getting in the way of seeing these semi-naked girls is a baddy.
As far as I can tell, PAX is a commercial, ticketed (therefore private) event. Dress rules are up to the organisers tomapply and enforce. If you don't like it, go somewhere else, or set up your own event.
* yes, even those who have reached majority
