☀️Lovely Princess Vivi🌴 I adore princess Vivi! She's so spirited and kind, and she just never gives up. She perfectly fit in with the Straw Hat crew! Photo by @robbyidol! I made Vivi from a combination of silk taffeta (the pants and sleeves) and dupioni silk (the skirt, vest, and the arm/leg cuffs, as well as covering the shoes. The champagne part of the vest is pintuck taffeta from @moodfabrics. I hand stamped lotuses on the taffeta in dark purple so they're pretty subtle (using that stamping method I made a tutorial for), then hand painted on the large lotus blossoms in gold, finally stitching on the gold ribbon stripes. The leaves on the vest were satin stitched onto the pintuck taffeta, all of the trims and beads were added once each piece was finished. I made all of the necklaces and bracelets as well. The peacock trimming around the skirt are all real eyes from peacock tail feathers (harmlessly picked up from dropped feathers from peacocks on a farm, according to my seller!), stitched on. The wig is actually 2 wigs, (Asterias from @epiccosplaywigs ) I cut one, made wefts sewn into the wig so the braids were thick and there was enough hair for a lot of them, and added beads around some of them. I painted the tiara and added strands of beads to the crown! #princessvivi #vivi #vivinefertari #vivicosplay #onepiece #onepiececosplay #nakama #strawhats #strawhatpirates #cosplay
