It's finally here!!! I'm finally able to post my Blackrock Chronicle: Rising Rythian (and bonus Zoeya!!) cosplay for @mcyt-couture-zine. This project is, quite sincerely, over eleven years in the making - one of my very first cosplays ever was S3 Rythian, which I wore Halloween 2013. I am so happy to finally be able to show this off; I'm incredibly proud of it, and it is truly the culmination of my sewing journey.

The zine released yesterday! Go check it out!! Everyone's work is incredible and deserves your attention. A massive thank you to my photographer for indulging me on this shoot, and to @blocky-tides for putting this event together!! More talking, close-ups, and details under the cut.

Cloak embroidery close-up + the one photo with my eyes/hair in it:

Almost everything in the Rythian cosplay was made from scratch, save the boots, shirt, and belt. The coat is a modified Victorian men's coat made from cotton-linen blend with polyester piping, cotton lining, and wooden buttons; the waistcoat is a 1910's low-fronted vest made from polyester damask with metal buttons salvaged from a marching band jacket; the cloak is a modified Victorian women's opera cloak in a linen-viscose blend, with metal buttons, polyester mesh lining, and hand-embroidery; the pants are Victorian men's pants in red dupioni silk; the hand wraps are made of muslin; and the mask is purple dupioni silk with bubble gauze linen lining and hand-embroidery. The mushroom earring and ender pearl cage pendant are also hand-made! It didn't make it into any of the photos, but I also bleached a streak into my hair in the front LMAO.

As for the origins of this project, I was able to unearth these photos courtesy of my mother. The first is from October 31st, 2013, and the second is June 4th, 2014; note the unhemmed Party City doctor coat with painted-on piping, the H&M jeans, the transition-lens glasses, and the knockoff Uggs. The split in the cape was also unhemmed, and I think the ender eyes on the back were glued-on felt. Truly the "how it started, how it's going" of my sewing journey.

Okay that's it from me. Thank you again Tides for running this zine and letting me participate as both a writer and a cosplayer. I'll be posting the written portion soon!
