Adventure 1: Pokemon: Eevee: Part 1: Decisions and Complications
The practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime.
The word “Pokemon” is a contraction of two Japanese words, “Poketto” and “Monsut?,” or “Pocket Monsters” in English.
Eevee is Pokemon #133, in Japan is called Eievui meaning “Evolve.” Though out the generations of Pokemon Eevee has adapted 8 evolutions known in fandom as “Eeveelutions” (We will get more to those in another post).
Why did I choose for my cosplay Pokemon Eevee?
Pokemon since coming to America in September of 1998 has always been close to my heart. I as an animal lover from a young age was intrigued by the Pokemon being cute, cuddly sometimes strong and scary but always interesting. But as far as choosing to Cosplay Eevee the decision was easy I always loved her because she is probably the most unique Original Pokemon. Yes most Pokemon evolve into another stage or two, but Eevee is different, she turns into originally 3 now 8 different Pokemon all different types. Plus it was a Cosplay I didn’t have to do anything to my hair, as a redhead with super thick hair at a medium to long length there was no getting my hair into a wig.
Once the decision of what/who I was going to be was done, the next obstacle I faced was: where to begin? Where else then a idea heaven called “Pinterest” gather ideas of what other people may have done or drawn up as fan art.
These are some of the pictures I found and based my own cosplay off of.
With the pictures I found I had decided to do a dress (My favorite piece of clothing). Easy right? Not so much when the dress pattern I bought at a going out of business sale was sizes 16-22 and I wear a size 4-6. Quick math lesson the smallest size the pattern was, is 10-12 sizes larger than myself. Whats a girl to do?
In a panic I call my mother a self taught seemstress whom I believe can do anything, she’s stumped she’s never had to resize a pattern so we talk it over and finally I have an idea and she thinks it will work so I go to town resizing the pattern 10 sizes and once its down to a size 6 if I needs alteration I will do it to the final dress.
***ALWAYS CUT PATTERNS A LITTLE LARGER, YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE SOMETHING SMALLER, YOU CAN’T MAKE IT LARGER***
Finally the pattern is sized and ready to be pinned to my fabric, cut out and rough pinned together on my dress form “Sally” you will see and hear a lot about Sally (Best $100 I ever spent https://amzn.com/B007PBHZK0 ).
