My Past Costume Works, Part II


Hello Readers!

I'll be continuing off from a previous post in which I was describing my past costume work starting from 2011.

As I have left off--2013 and 2014 marked huge changes for me.  I learned how to make proper ballgowns, worked with lolita clothes (below image), more complicated fantasy outfits, and so on forth, including accessories such as hats and making stuffed animals.  I have never, NEVER ever made any of these things in my entire life--and I've run into some "catty" cosplayers--well, bullies--who discouraged my progress--but I showed them.

I showed them that I could push past my limits--and tried anyway.

And I did it.

And now, I'm working on what seems to be the most ambitious costume project so far--a wedding dress of ruffles and laces, decorated by roses and appliqués, and so on forth.  

I'm almost done with it.  

There are cosplay events that are quickly approaching--and I'll be wearing it for those dates and hopefully, get pictures of my dress--with my "groom," who is my boyfriend.

Thank you for viewing the pictures!

Current Projects of Costume-making


Hello, readers!

I got done, with my recycled skirt from a previous post.  I decided to make some last-minute changes to it, which was different from the original planned-out design--adding lace overall straps to the skirt.







Other than that, as of right now, I'm currently working on two costumes: a wedding dress ballgown from the anime, Sword Art Online, and an outfit from God Eater, a PSP game--turned to an anime recently.

I'm taking my time with the costumes right now and when I'm able to start on Alisa's gun weapon prop--of course, it's gonna take a lot of work and dedication into building it.  I've already made the plaid skirt, the overall straps, and last night, I got done cutting out Worbla pieces for the metal hooks.  Tomorrow, I'll be using a heat-gun to mold the plastic--and hopefully, things will work out! //crosses fingers//
