Orisen Cosplay

Seamstress. Geek. Cosplayer.

Managed to get the updates together for a Volume 6 Weiss before Anime USA!

The design on the scarf might now be quite right, but there’s nothing hi-res out there yet so it’s excusable 😂

Taking a break from the intense embroidery to work on a historical mock up for Corsets and Cravats with @houkakyou next month Nothing says 1830’s like sleeves bigger than your head!

After a long hiatus, I’m back to work on Vashet Now I have a tunic with cuffs, side seams and binding. I also have a masters degree (not pictured, but that’s why I’ve been posting approximately never)

Pro photos of the costumes we worked so hard on are finally here!! These are our 1880s/90s inspired designs for Melisandre and Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones - we were supposed to have a big group originally, but it fragmented (which is why our characters don’t really go together, oops!).

Both of these are pretty much as historically accurate as we could make them with the time, knowledge, and budget we had. We’re both wearing full sets of undergarments (chemise, split drawers, corset, and in my case several petticoats). 

Melisandre took fifteen yards of velvet and about one hundred hours of work; Brienne took “a lot. just say a lot” of hours, and that bodice is 267 pieces of fabric alone. Many tears were shed in the making of these, and many bad movies were watched. Thank you to @oldgrumpycosplay for all of the moral support!!!

This costume is as historically accurate as I could make it with the materials and knowledge I had, EXCEPT for the hair and makeup. I needed the hair to retain some element of Melisandre, and I kind of need lipstick to look good in photos like this, haha. I’m wearing period appropriate undergarments and everything!

[orisencosplay]

I made a thing!

Also I have cool friends

Sketch layout of the yoke embroidery! It's meant to be the leaves of the Sword Tree, but as there isn't a reference image, I had to make things up Next I'm going to start filling things in!

All the pieces of my Breath of the Wild cosplay! I was always concerned that I'd forgotten something.

Cosplay problem: when @orisencosplay uses you as a stylus because she can’t take her gloves off…

My more or less completed Breath of the Wild Link. I need to get proper photos taken but I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out!

[orisencosplay]

Progress on my Breath of the Wild Link! I was hoping to get this done before the game came out, but at least it's easier to find reference images now! And I'm reaaaaaally close.

Throwback Thursday to the elf cosplay I made back when I still had the hair for it. The lace is photoshop. The snow is real. It would probably have been more comfortable had it been the other way around. Photography and photoshop by Monocular Spectacular Cosplay by Orisen
