I just realized I've never done an actual #sidebyside for my costume and the original! #cosplay #princessnuala #princessnualacosplay #myface #hellboycosplay #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #hellboy2cosplay #thegoldenarmy #sewing #dyedsilk #ombresilk #ombre (at San Diego, California)

Also, I finally got my masquerade pics from Costume Con back! That night was so incredible, from waiting in the madness of the green room and meeting cool new friends, to winning two awards! I keep putting off actually starting a blog for how all my progress stuff, but Nuala's dye work is one of major reason to get on it, since I keep getting questions about the dye gradient on her dress (idk, should I?) #cosplay #princessnuala #princessnualacosplay #hellboycosplay #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #bethmoora #guillermodeltoro #sewing #ombresilk #myface #elven (at San Diego, California)

More WonderCon pics! All of Saturday night still feels somewhat surreal, but I'm still amazed I got anything since it was my first masquerade! I also got another craftsmanship recognition from #costumecon , but that one won't feel real either until I actually have the certificate! When I made this a year ago, it was my first time dyeing fabric, I tested and prepped and crossed my fingers it'd turn out even, I had no idea the finished product would be unusually even enough to get two certificates! #cosolay #princessnuala #princessnualacosplay #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #hellboycosplay #wonderconmasquerade #wondercon2018 #sewing #ombre #ombresilk #dyeing #dyeingfabric #hellboy2cosplay #guillermodeltoro (at Wondercon)

Three sets of hooks and eyes, a snap, and cuff trim later, and Nuala's finally actually done! She was completed in a rush for WonderCon last year, so I never actually got the closures right, and the collar and cuff trim arrived too late for the con, so I had to finish hand sewing a ton of bits last night. The belt still needs some perfecting, but that can wait. After a quick ironing, she'll be ready to go for #LBCE tomorrow! #cosplay #cosprep #longbeachcomicexpo #princessnuala #nuala #princessnualacosplay #hellboy2 #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #hellboycosplay #bethmoora #sewing #ombresilk (at San Diego, California)
