Debuted: Ani-Me 7.0
Design By: Shourca Notes:
When I saw this design I knew I had to cosplay it! It was so cute! It was a lot of fun making this cosplay and nice to have such a sewing heavy costume to make after so many prop/armor heavy ones. The fabric I picked out for this was perfect! It sat so nicely and gave the perfect shape to the pink skirt/coat part. I used a bathing suit pattern to created the blue bodysuit of her costume and created custom patterns for all her other pieces. I love the color scheme of this costume and it was fun getting to work with such pretty materials! I'm really happy with how this turned out, I used my over-lock machine on this one so the inner seams are finished and neat! What was made?
Headset. Wand. Costume. Gloves. Leg Wraps. Garters. Boot covers. Stockings-altered. What was bought? Nothing! I made everything for this cosplay! Related Links!

WIP PhotosBuild TimeShopping: About half a day + few hours of searching online
Pattern Making: 2 days Sewing: 1-2 weeks Foam Work: 1 week Painting: 2 days **Days are not a full 24 hours. They're more like "work" days. Meaning for each day, I worked on the cosplay for anywhere from 4-10 hours per day--it's all a rough estimate.

Fun Facts!
Favorite Fabric?
- Through this cosplay I discovered one of my favorite fabric to work with! It's scuba knit. It's super stretchy but also on the thicker sides so even when the fabric is in a lighter color it's never really sheer. Which is so nice! It's also just a really nice quality of fabric and doesn't get runs in it when stretching like some cheaper fabrics do.
