SW / Disney trash dork dedicated to cosplaying, crafts and fashion <3

the only cosplay I’ll be putting my blood and sweat on this year is Jyn Erso. I’m super excited for Rogue One and a big fan of Felicity Jones since she appeared in TASM 2 so I really really want to get it on point! Especially the makeup which will take a number of trials wew.

For now I’ll soon be adjusting to my new apartment room in hong kong before continuing on any cosplay work because ART SCHOOL. 

It was super fun going to APCC day 2 as Jyn and only hope to improve in early december when Rogue One comes to theaters!!

Heard you talking shit ‘bout female leads in star wars. We rebel!!

had so much fun in apcc day 2 with my cousin Chesca as Rey <3 (both costumes by yours truly and this is Chesca’s first cosplay!)

They came in faster than I expected!! Thanks gwyshop ! 💜 nearly ready for asia pop next week ~☆

Brb crying over finished cuff 😭

My first commission, Chesbacca's rey is nearly done too ♡♡♡

[gcocosplay]

Everything's almost finished! Now to start on the most important part: TOGRUTA HEADPIECE.

JYN IS HAPPENIN. I'm so happy with the scarf color ♡♡♡ Time to start on her 'han solo inspired' belt! (Pants and hair not official~ I'll be wearing the wig and a looser pair of dark pants for the next update! Hopefully with the makeup and contacts too

Fitted my ahsoka dress + leggings + belt and gloves today. Dress will be shortened just a tiny bit, and the middle piece of the belt really needs to be shortened as well because since it’s way too thin/not as wide as I wanted it to turn out, starting a new one would just put this to waste. Don’t mind my bra at the back though xD just wanted to show the cute pouch!! Still a lot that needs to be done but this is progress c;

My face is just really sabog from staying home all day but I finally got to fit my Jyn vest and it's practically 85% done! Excuse the inner top xD

Rebel swag ☆ Bought jyn's top off the market and wig from Lynelle. The brown vest of hers and belts will really put it all together. Just quick selfies cause the makeup test will still happen in august ! Hope to finish everything at least 2 weeks before apcc :) (that silly thing I used for a 'scarf' is just a brown jacket btw. Couldn't find anything bigger. Will buy the fabric for her official scar next month though!)

Jyn Erso cosplay progress || pants✔ ■ vest: to be made in august, jacket (what i'm wearing in the pic): will be dyed grey, have some alterations on the ends and buttons will be removed as well ■ long sleeved blue top: going to search for it in the market tomorrow! So far so good. I'll also be checking the wig store for anything similar/closest to jyn's hair :)

[gcocosplay]

got some fabric for Ahsoka & Jyn! It was so hard to find the perfect rustic orange/brown velvety cloth for Ahsoka’s dress, so I just settled with what was there. Maybe I can weather it afterwards who knows. THIS BROWN LEATHER THOUGH. It’s got a cool pattern to it and I’m excited for it to become Jyn’s vest!

cosplay has no rules  you don’t owe anybody shit  it doesn’t have to be about the fandom aspect for you  but it also doesn’t have to be about the crafting side either  ultimately, follow your own path and do what you feel is right for you  whether you want to cosplay characters mostly because they look cool  or because you love them or both whatever  literally whatever

REYY

Was lucky enough to find this thanks to my dad. I've always loved double-bladed lightsabers a little more than the usual ones. Soo tempted to cosplay dark side rey now..
