here is the test, and one: for the real costume i’m going to spirit gum a crescent to my forehead so that wont be an issue and two: i’ll get a better red lipstick lol
i think i’m cute and i deffo know what i’m doing different next time. also this is a recycled wig from cotton candy cookie! thats why it Looks Like This and it has no bunny ear odangos
gonna try and sketch out some of the gowns i want to try and make now that V isn't here. a list for my own benefit: - Zevran - Merrill - Foxy the Pirate - Ballora - Leafeon - Albert Wesker - Punisher other cosplays i want to try to plan: - Jill Valentine - Damien Bloodmarch - Kyoko Kirigiri - Byakuya Togami - Kazuichi Souda yeah i know it looks like a lot, but this is going to span the next couple years. also i need to design my wedding dress, because i'm making that myself. fuck it.
okay, i THINK i have everything i need to finish this thing today.
pray for me.
my back is killing me from being bent over sewing all night last night, and i can't even say it was worth it because i didn't finish it. and i honestly should have known my chest would end up a bit more pronounced when i covered the bra with faux leather but the pictures i posted last night show how much of an understatement that is.
@aplagueofzubats honestly? it was a hack job based on just eyeing it. my friend did most of the work, but the pattern i used for the coat had a straight collar pattern (as opposed to some that have curved collars). i cut the fabric for the pattern, then we folded it over at an angle to get the shape we wanted. you might want to make it a touch longer just to account for the seam allowance you probably lose from folding it over like that, but better to have it too long that not long enough.
regardless, i actually had to go in and add the lining after the fact, because the leather i’m using is not stiff enough on its own. i used bridal satin to line it, and that helped it stand up, but if you want to use a fabric actually used for lining (bridal satin is heavy as fuck), heavyweight fusible interfacing is super helpful. usually a pattern with a stiff collar calls for interfacing in general, though.
personally, i wanted it to be a bit flexible (mid summer + leather cosplay = i need to be able to fold that shit down), so i just used the bridal satin because it has the stiffness, but it’s still floppy.
somebody save me from needing to hand sew like fifteen different things sobs.
tomorrow i have to put studs on the belt i made and find the tool i need to put a couple snaps to close it (because honestly i broke it on purpose because ya know... aesthetic).
but i should at least be done with this fucker on Wednesday.
pray i don’t fuck up putting on the tattoos Thursday night.
i have all my cosplay shit back. i’m gonna bust out this entire skirt tonight if it kills me.
which it might.
i already broke a nail so badly my finger is throbbing.
oh well, Jack wouldn’t give a shit.
