Haren | 22 | France | she/her Don't be scared to ask me questions!

[laharen]

Hello I wanted to ask if I want my own measurements where would I need to put what measurement I can’t figure it out , especially for the coat

Hii

You can check these instructions for the measurements, using 1/4 bust, 1/2 waist.. Etc like on the picture :

I had to change a bit to make it an open coat

Because basically my pattern fits my measurements, I'm 170cm tall, around 60kg, hips are 102cm so it may not fit everyone

Let me know if it helps 🙏

Hey! Im trying to make my own xie lian cosplay, and im just wondering if there is any way to download a pdf file with the pattern, in the correct size

Hello

I'm sorry I made it to my own measurements , but it's a bit large and you can adjust it with the belt so it fits a lot of people, the only thing you can adjust easily is the length because I'm tall

I started working on a Mo Ran cosplay from ERHA so stay tuned to see the patterns and tutorials as usual ehehehhe I'm trying to find a way to make the cape stay in place

(last pic is my inspo)

Hey, ich bin nicht sonderlich gut im nähen bzw. Hab so kaum ahnung davon und meine mutter will mir nicht helfen. Hab so gar kein plan wo und wie ich meine masse benutze / einsetze weil 1,70 ist definitv zu groß XD

Hello there, sorry for the late answer.

If only the height is bothering you : you can just make the length shorter, from my waist to ankles i have 90cm, so you can make it shorter by measuring from your waist to ankles and changing this number !

hope this helps

Jiang Cheng is waiting for you.. What will you do ?

[laharen]

Hello! I wanted to know how much fabric you used for making xie lian's coat or beizi.

Hello ! I used around 3 meters because the sleeves are very wide and i did only 1 big piece without shoulder seams for the main body !

[laharen]

Bonjour, je suis en train de tracer le patron et je comprends pas la partie du rebord sur le hanfu?

Bonjour ! Quel rebord ? Parle-tu du col ?

[laharen]

Hi I was wondering what type of fabrics did you use for ur xie lian cosplay for all the peices? Thanks :>

I'm gonna answer this as well if someone else need it :

I don't exactly know, it's a very flowy and heavy fabric (but a bit transparent) it does very nice fold and never crease/wrinkle, and it's kind of thick and stretchy maybe it's viscose fabric or jersey ? Here is a closeup :

Making a Xie Lian TGCF cosplay - PART 4 - The Hanfu

For this piece you’ll need : - around 3-4 meters of white fabric, can be stretchy - white bias to finish off the edges (optional but cleaner look) - regular white thread

I used this tutorial below as a guide for mine please check it out. I changed a few details though.

The second layer of Wen Ke Xing’s outfit; red zhiju (直裾) layer part 1.

With the base layer shirt complete, I turned to making a new layer 2 pattern for the red layer.  This layer is likely some sort of silk/silk

Before starting please know that the pattern is made to fit me as i made it with my measurements. I’m 170cm tall (5'7) and i weight 55-60kg, i usually wear a size medium. Here are my full measurements if needed :

waist : 70cm

bust : 86 cm

hips + booty : 100 cm

shoulders : 98 cm

Here is the video tutorial :

step 1. cut all the patterns pieces you can cut on fold to have 2 long pieces as a real hanfu would be (no shoulder seam, only back seam) or cut the back and the 2 front pieces separately (shoulder seams, no back seam)

Pattern with my measurements : (note that the 90cm measurement is from my waist to my feet, as I’m TALL, if you are shorter please make it shorter)

step 2. sew alongside the shoulders (or back if you picked the second option)

step 3. sew the sleeves on (on the shoulders)

step 4. sew all along the underarms on both side (from the end of the sleeves to the bottom of the hanfu) i left a 20cm slit on each side so i could move more easily (optional)

step 5. fold the long collar piece in half and sew it all around the body piece, right sides facing each others don't do like me and make it ugly...

step 6. finish the edges of the sleeves (i put white bias to make it cleaner) and finish the bottom of the coat too (with bias too :3 )

i chose to use a pin and the belt to secure the hanfu closed, but the right thing would be to add little strings and hoops on each side to make it close easier.

end result : feel free to ask if you have more questions !

First con post-covid !! Xie lian cosplay

I was so happy to go in July to Japan Tours for my first post-covid anime convention !! 🥺 And I got to wear the Xie Lian cosplay i made in a big rush (3 weeks for the thinking and making)

I... sadly lost the hat at the end of the first day, I really am the god of misfortune.. I'm too much canon..

So for the second day I went as Lan Wangji using Ruoye on my forehead (many sorries Ruoye🙏) And my best friend came as Wei wuxian so we got to play husbands for the day

My upcoming cosplays and tutorials will be on Jiang Cheng, Jin Ling AND Kazuha from Genshin Impact for my little brother !! ✨ See you around !

Making a Xie Lian TGCF cosplay - PART 1 - the belt

You will need : - Shiny grey fabric (NOT stretchy) 22cm/9inch wide, and the length of your waist - blue ribbon (7cm or 2,5inch wide) - shiny silver metallic bias (2cm or 1inch wide / length of your waist x2) - 8 eyelets - blue lace (around 50cm or 20inch ) - regular grey and blue thread Here’s the video showing how i made it :

1. If your fabric is thin like mine : Cut a 22cm x your waist measurement rectangle and fold it in half  //  if it’s already heavy :  cut a 22cm x your waist measurement rectangle My fabric is a NOT stretchy shiny grey fabric.

2. sew on top the light blue ribbon, my ribbon is 7cm wide

3. sew on all sides the silver metallic bias (top, bottom right and left)

4. for the back i did a lace-up/corset by adding 4 eyelets on each side and putting a light blue lace (around 50cm long)

5. for the beaded tassels hanging from the belt i used the one i made in that video : 

6. and following the same technique but with a bigger one, i used 8 meters of blue macramé rope, cut it in 3 and braided it, then added the beads and pompom on each side of the braid.

Cosplay de Xie Lian TGCF - la jupe

JUPE

1. Première étape, la jupe, j'ai décidé d'opter pour une jupe semi-circulaire. J'ai choisi de faire une ceinture+ fermeture éclair pour qu'elle soit plus plate et ajustée mais vous pouvez aussi opter pour une taille élastique pour plus de facilité.

TAILLE ÉLASTIQUE Mesure des hanches (partie la plus large du corps, c'est-à-dire les fesses) divisée par 3,14. Mes hanches mesurent 103 cm, donc 103 / 3,14 = 33 cm.

FERMETURE ÉCLAIR + BANDE DE TAILLE Tour de taille divisé par 3,14 Ma taille est de 70 cm, donc 70 / 3,14 = 22 cm.

2. Pliez votre tissu en deux et tracez un premier ¼ de cercle avec le rayon que vous avez calculé.

3. Le deuxième cercle déterminera la longueur de la jupe, donc ajoutez ce nombre à votre rayon précédent. La longueur que je veux est d'environ 90 + 22 = 112 cm.

4. Une fois que vous avez tracé cela, vous pouvez couper les deux arcs et NE PAS COUPER le bord plié. Vous obtiendrez votre demi-cercle.

5. Pour la ceinture, découpez un rectangle de la longueur de votre taille (ou de vos hanches) et d'environ 16 cm de hauteur. Pliez-le en deux et cousez-le sur le petit cercle.

POUR CEINTURE ÉLASTIQUE cousez simplement l'arrière de la jupe et insérez l'élastique dans le bandeau de ceinture et c'est fini.

Si vous faites une fermeture éclair à l'arrière... Il suffit de trouver un tutoriel pour le coudre. Et puis fermez le dos.

Making a Xie Lian TGCF cosplay - PART 2 - the Skirt

FIRST PART : THE SKIRT

1. First step the skirt, I decided to go for a semi circle-skirt. I chose to do a flat waistband + zipper to have it more flat and fitted but you can go for an elastic waistband to be easier.

FOR AN ELASTIC WAISTBAND Hips(wider part of you body aka the ass) measurement divided by 3.14 My hips are 103cm so 103 / 3.14 = 33cm

FOR A ZIPPER+WAISTBAND Waist measurement divided by 3.14 My waist is 70cm so 70 / 3.14 = 22cm

2. Fold your fabric in half and trace a first ¼ of circle with the radius you calculated.

3. The second circle will determine the length of the skirt so add that number to your previous radius. The length i want is around 90 + 22 = 112cm

4. Once you traced that down, you can cut both arcs and DON'T CUT the folded edge. You will have your half circle

5. For the waistband, cut a rectangle that is the length of your waist (or hips) and around 16cm in height. Fold in half and sew it on the smaller circle

FOR AN ELASTIC WAISTBAND just sew down the back of the skirt and insert the elastic in the waistband and you’re done.

FOR A ZIPPER BACK.. Just find a tutorial to sew it. And then close the back.

6. And finish the bottom edges with a white bias.
