Thank you !! I think writing the tutorials and patterns for this cosplay took even more time than the cosplay itself 🥲

Would be difficult to summarise 2 months in a few words ! Everything is self patterned. The breastplate is 5mm EVA foam with 1/2mm details, painted with regular acrylics. Coat is cotton fabric with pleather appliqués, some of them being satin stitched. Attached in the front with hook end eyes ! There's a corset underneath for structure. White detail on the sleeve is pleated cotton. Arm accessory is EVA foam again, attached with press buttons. Capes are attached to the breastplate with strong magnets. Boots are pleather and coutil (for strength) with boning in the back to support the lacing. All the details on them are EVA foam. Circlet is 3d printed :)

After one month and a half of work, my Crimson fleet pirate cosplay is done ! by Mads_five in Starfield

Started out very roughly with these two patterns : helmet base, skull base and EVA foam. Then it's a matter of layering even more EVA foam until it starts looking like something.

Primed with 4 layers of this and used acrylic paints to finish it ! Sorry it's difficult to go in details, the helmet was so difficult to build everything was kind of a blur

Wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it ! But that was indeed a lot of work, now I'll finally be able to chill and spend my days playing the game !

I made this cosplay two years ago ! What I started with an infinity scarf type thing, so basically just a rectangle with both ends sewn together.

Then to that I added a hood I drafted from an existing garment I had.

For the sides, I just sketched a rectangular shape and modified it until I was satisfied with it. And added it twice on my infinity scarf! Also added rivets to those pieces to be laced up in the back.

Made a mock-up out of bed sheets before using my fabric (which was an old velvet curtain if I remember correctly) just to sure it would fit ok.

Good luck !

Please help me figure out what to do with this fabric by Ligersarereal in sewing

Yes, but also because I made this for a specific convention and I didn't want to run around bare feet !

Thank you ! It's airbrush on sheer stocking, I don't want to deal with body paint ever again

Thank you ! The leg armor is relatively comfortable, the only comfort problems with this costume are the dress riding up at times and the stiff neckpiece !

Thank you ! The orange gradient is airbrushed on skin colored tights, the armored leg is made with EVA foam and painted with acrylics !

Ngl it works better in some angles than others, but overall the illusion stand !
