How to make a cosplay.
Oh oh, I have returned!
So I haven't updated here for a while ... uh .. I'm sorry for that, I had a real life (not really, just being lazy). u_u
So! I thought update by showing you my awesome cosplay! So I have played Alice: Madness returns, and of course I was blown away by this way and every clip on youtube as an obsessed little shrimp (lol what). So I decided to cosplay the beauteous Alice , I have bought lenses and sewn the whole costume by my own... and I was going to show you guys how it all happened in the progress, I am a educated dressmaker/tailor, so it was no match for me, but it was fun! <- I'm not trying to brag, even tho its sounded like it. <.<
First, draw a detailed sketch of your cosplay, so you know what you need to do and how much effort you want to put into it. Try to find as many reference pictures as you can, look at other people who have cosplayed this character.
Then do the pattern, this will usually take the most time, because you must measure yourself and start from a base pattern, of course you can buy a already made pattern of what is the fun in that? and it is usually not as the character's clothes, but you can buy an already made pattern and redo them, most people does this. I made mine from a base pattern.
Then sewing can start (yaay), remember that right sides of your fabric needs to face each other when you sew, otherwise you will get ugly marks and not so pretty costume. You will get a lot of obstacles here, but do not worry, relax and think about how much you really want to do this and it will be fine eventually.
Try your cosplay on, so you know it fits. If not? then just adjust it and keep going.~
So... maybe your character have some details? like a weapon? or jewels? Try to add those too!
On the first picture you can see the necklace, i made it out of hobby clay.
On the second picture you can see the vorpal blad made, I love it! isn't it awesome?
So... My cosplay is almost done!
This is all pictures for now, I'm going to post pictures of the final product and when im wearing it at the convention I'm going to this weekend (Närcon).
I hope this was a fun post to read, I'll see you guys soon. <3
