Freehand drafting and modifying from things I see on Burda? Fuck yeah, that’s how I make my Wonder Woman dress. When you’re a size 18 and the only pattern available is for a size 6, you learn to modify. And pray. Pray hard to the cosplay gods for mercy and a straight stitch.

So fuck the applique process. It works for larger scale items for me, but not for stars. I’m going to do the layered wood thing like I did for the lace headdress. Fuck all y’all couches, I’m improvising. Motherfucking pile of wooden stars n shit.

Wigs Galore!
I decided to do a little shopping today, and found both of the wigs I need for this year’s Otakon. I’ve got the one for Velvet. It’s not quite as LIGHT as I would have wanted, but I like the way it lays, and it’s a good length for me. Plus, it looks nice paired against the red hood and black lace. AND HOSNAP I FOUND A WIG FOR WONDER WOMAN. Going to be making this...

The magic of Nail Polish
As many of you cosplayers know, the right color Spray Paint can get to be expensive. Floral paint, glass paint, metallic paint… The list goes on. And I was laying in my bed, really wanting to paint the crystals for my Velvet cosplay, but feeling way too drained to go and buy the paint. So I figured I would rummage and see what I could come up with in my house. Lo and behold, I had blood...

Cosplay Tip: #009: Quick Way to Make a Pattern
projectcosplay: A personal pet peeve of mine is drafting patterns. I HATE DRAFTING PATTERNS from scratch because they take forever. I have a collection of drafted patterns but for some reason, with cosplay, many of the patterns cannot be reused. Because of this, I have learned one shortcut method to patterning. Here is a tip on how to quickly and easily make a pattern. Find good reference...

That Time of Year Again
Alrighty. It’s the first of the year, which means it’s time for this girl to start lining up her cosplays for Otakon 2012. Thing is, I recently did my big goal cosplay. While I’m re-wearing that, I can’t enter it in competition at the same con again. So I’m looking for something new to do. I’m always open to any and all suggestions, you can contact me on...
