Probably the neatest a collar I’ve done has ever come out. I copied the pattern from the same blouse I already owned. I made the collar out of the same twill fabric as the bodice and cuffs. It took some practice but I’m able to get them pretty neat now. I finished off the cuffs with buttons! I sew the buttonholes manually using a 0-width zigzag stitch on my machine.
There it is so far! Excuse the no-makeup face.
I then sewed them to some simple cuffs I’d made from the same fabric as the bodice (I just took the rough measurement of my wrist and the length I wanted them to be, and made a rectangle with those measurements.) I find I prefer doing pleats to gathering – it looks cleaner to me and this way I can be sure it’s even. I made them out of a chiffon maybe half a shade darker than the bodice (although that could be due to the translucent nature of the fabric.) Time for the sleeves! I was excited to get to these, since I love doing puff sleeves. Please ignore the blue zipper, it was a placeholder until I could get to the store for a matching white one. I used fabric that had been sitting in my bin for years, so not sure the origin or exact type – I reckon it’s a sport twill, it’s heavy with a slight stretch across the grain. Then, I made the bodice of the shirt! I loosely based the pattern off of a blouse I already owned, and fiddled with it for a while until I was happy with how it fit. It’s pretty much just a basic pleated skirt, so there’s not much else to say about it here. I was lucky to find a print and colour palette similar to hers! She was finally finished in November of 2018, and luckily I had the chance to shoot her just a few days later! Photo // momstressfull on Instagramįirst, I made the skirt out of a seasonal flannel from my local Joann. I made her over the span of several months, since I took a hiatus in between to focus on other projects. (Including all the different endings, because I’m nothing if not a completionist.)
That said, this post will be very image-heavy.Ī friend asked me to cosplay Accord along with her Zero in the future, so I looked her up and absolutely fell in love with her design! I don’t “do” video games and have never owned a console in my life, but I watched full playthroughs of Drakengard 3 on YouTube to familiarize myself with it. However, lately I’ve been making a more concentrated effort to pause and take process pictures, especially on my more elaborate or effort-heavy cosplays. My usual style of making cosplays is “binge-craft in a night and suddenly with no warning I have a new cosplay.”
