Is it Cosplay OR Clothing… How About Both?
Nothing beats a comfortable cosplay, but when I showed the completed outfit to my friend at the con she said "Those are clothes! You made clothes!" Which is my favorite cosplay complement to date.
I thought it would never end!
When determining the length I saw that I should multiply my final length by three to account for shrinkage while braiding. I don't know what happened but that was a BIG mistake…
Let’s Zhuzh Up a Crop Top!
I went to wear it one day and found myself putting it back for that reason and decided to do something about it right then. I have no idea what I originally had planned for that day, but my new ✨spontaneous✨ plan was fixing that top!
High quality fabric for cheap? The Secret is Second-hand.
However, there are ways to get high quality fabric at very low cost. Sometimes even for free! Using second-hand fabric can be a great option for getting large quantities of fabric for low cost.
Clothing Repair Day!
I was not ready to throw in the towel with these shirts, so I ordered some fabric glue and prepared to repair the designs. Thankfully I didn't lose any of the HTV pieces, so all I had to do was re-attach the flaps that were peeling.
Ewok Upgrades!
The beautiful thing about my projects is that I get to decided when they're "complete." Sometimes I let a project be a forever work in progress that I can continue to add on to! This is one of those projects <3
The Makings of an X-Men Dark Phoenix Performance
I latched on to Jean Grey from the X-Men series right away. She was smart, very powerful, and kind. When the 3rd movie came out, I was entranced by her transformation. I made the Phoenix cosplay not too long after my dad and I saw the movie together, and wore it to multiple comic cons in Michigan and Minnesota. It's one of my favorite cosplays I have made.
