Reta & Nani as Retoree 🐶 & Cyan 🐱 from Show by Rock!! Photographed by Nyymix in Assembly Winter 2023 Costumes made by the cosplayers

More about the costumes and performance ⬇️

The costumes are mostly made by us together. I was in charge of patterning and planning the mechanics of the clothing parts, and we divided the sewing and other crafting workload by working as a team on both costumes.

The not-selfmade parts are our shoes, Cyan’s socks, bell and undershirt, and my eyeglasses. Also my shirt was only modified instead of made from scratch (I replaced the collar and sleeve ends with the yellow/orange details and completely re-shaped the hem) and my wig came with the twintail parting (although I did style the front myself). The rest is handmade, including Cyan’s super puffy underskirt. Honorary mention to our tails; my tail fur was originally white but was dyed/painted by hand to match my multi-toned wig, and Cyan’s tail was given a lot of thought to make it nice and sturdy. Phew!

We competed in the cosplay competition in Assembly, where we also had a stage performance. For that we came up with our own script, did voice acting & recording, edited the audio, drew the visuals and animated the video. The one (1) minute time limit was very challenging but I’m very proud of the finished skit. We didn’t get awarded but it’s ok – it’s a pleasure in itself to create things with Nani 💖
