White Wizard Begins!

So this Saturday I'm going to Retrospelsmässan in Göteborg. Since it is a fair aimed for retro video games I took the opportunity to cosplay from the first Final Fantasy game, and I'm going as a white wizard. This is one of my more spontaneous cosplays since I already have three others to be done with next week when it's time for UppCon, but I couldn't resist to make a white wizard.

The white wizard is the upgraded White Mage so I will be going around with a red cape along with my robe.

The start of the robe without the sleeves and the hood.
I based the pattern of the my middle age robes and just added a bit more gores. 

First testing. I added the ribbon just to see what it would look like, and well I have a really big underskirt that I won't use in the final cosplay. ^^

The hood was added. It is huge, humongous and just big.

That's all for now. Now I should be studying a bit more so I can continue all the sewing later. 

Busy and more busy

You might have noticed that I haven't been here so much and it has it's reasons. I am at the moment writhing my final essay and it demands a lot of time. But I can let you in on a few starters of my Rosa cosplay.

So far I've only started on her top, one of her millions sashes, the cape and the shoulderpads.

First I had to decided which fabrics I would use for the top. In the end I go a white thin cotton, two layers of old lace curtain, a thick green cotton and the lining. 

Cutting out fabric. This is actually the thing about sewing that I find the most boring and usually the fabric lays on my floor a couple of days before I measure and finally cut out the patterns. 

The lining complete with 'shim'?
Well, I still have to sew it together. 

The parts all put together, now I just have to sew it together. 

Well that's all I have photos of so far. Bye!

Rikku - A start

A week ago I was at KodachiCon were me and my group entered the cosplay contest with one of our better skits.It was my debut as Rikku from Final Fantasy X, and my costume isn't done yet but I felt that I could bring it anyway, specially since we did a Final Fantasy vs Naruto skit.

The best detailed picture I had. :)

It sparkled! It was gold, of course Rikku the Thief wanted it. ^^

Battlepose! And major muscle pain after posing a whole weekend.  

A bigger convention rapport is coming up this weekend. So until then. Bye bye!
