Here I have a couple of WIP pictures, pictured at the top left and in the middle. 

The first WIP shows my completed dress as well as the flower crown, and you can see a little bit of the choker. 

The second WIP shows the dress as well as the chiffon top piece. Chiffon is really hard to work with and I don’t know if I want to attempt that fabric again! >_< Also pictured is my flower crown, as well as a better picture of the choker. 

On the top right picture, I made myself a pair of earrings that Eli wears for the Yume no Tobira outfit. I made it out of polymer clay and nail polish as a finish.

The last image is a costest with my wig, and all the clothing on (except for the gloves, as I have yet to receive it.)

Making it was really fun and worthwhile. I feel like I’ve accomplished a huge milestone in my cosplaying career lol...(it’s not a career just a hobby!)

Progress on my Eli Ayase - Yume no Tobira Cosplay! The skirt & ruffles really was hard to work with. 

I also made the flower crown, but it’s not pictured right now.

Finally started on my actual cosplay. I completed my bodice! Being a n00b, it took me 10 hours to make it :(

So I decided to make my first cosplay. Since I am still new to making cosplays, i've been working on some practice pieces. So far, I practice the sweetheart neckline bodice 3 times. Then, I worked on practicing making the straps w/ ruffles for the arms... Note to self, make the ruffle strips extra long so you don't have to add extra pieces. Also, when gathering the fabric to make the ruffles, do it in one direction. I hope I can go back to a fabric store soon to get the chiffon fabric for the over piece.
