So, for a really long time I've been wanting to try out three things.. First thing is a form fitted top with buttons instead of zipper in the back. I've only ever made buttonholes for my Alyssa cosplay, and since the jacket isn't supposed to ever be closed I could totally wing that:
The second technique I wanted to try out was tea dying my fabric. What I love about tea dying is the old fashioned look the fabric gets, as if you've left it in your attic for a decade. I did tea dye my twisted Meg, but since I used Lycra it would hardly take in any color! ;__;
Thirdly I've always wanted to make a costume with hotfix rhinestones to try them out! I love how many cosplayers bling up their costumes (It's not something we do a lot in DK, - we seem to live by: if it's not in the reference pic you don't add it!). I found a beautiful artbook design of a character I've done in the past and got started on my costume for Japan Expo (* 3*)!!
I will be super impressed if anyone can guess who I'm redoing! (It's actually the character that inspired my username. <3)
Mucho love
Sørine
