That way the weight of the cape was on the top, my chest and my back instead of resting on the shoulderplates. Making the details for the chest plate made me sweat and curse quite a lot, because it was so small and fragile! To make sure the boots would keep their shape, I made a foam base and covered this foam base with fabric. On the other hand a few things on stage went bad, so I think I'm not that sad about it, as I would prefer not to see it back as I don't feel very comfortable about it.

Even though it's a very important part when making a costume and something you can't escape if you want to make helmets/armor/props. I started with making this costume for fun, but I was lured into signing up for a cosplay competition with it, so I also had a though deadline where I couldn't remake every part that I wanted from it! People weren't necessarily impressed with the costume or act, but they said it was really nice to see an "old" design character, considering most cosplay competitions here nowadays are filled with people in big fantasy armors in likewise styles (not that there is anything wrong with that, but you see a lot of likewise outfits in a competition over here).Chi-Chi's hairstyle is a variation of a hime-cut, which I already cut multiple times, but I wanted to make this one a bit more special. If someone that studied fashion/clothes design or a professional clothes/costume maker sees this, he/she would probably smack me on the back of my head.

Because of all the waiting for drying I was going through, I decided to draw a face on the wighead (also because the wighead was already showing a lot of damages because of the heating shaping I did on it), so eh try to not pay too much attention to it.I also met up with a Roshi at the same convention and he was so completely in-character I couldn't stop laughing. When the costume was close to finishing I uploaded this teaser to show what I had so far and also to show how the design from the cape and top works View spoiler Hide spoiler the fabric at the top of my shoulders is not visible when wearing the wig and this was also before ironing everything, so pardon the small mess :P.

Definitely looking forward to seeing your Lilith progress too Seriously, industry-professionals having a Youtube channel that they use to show how they make their amazing stuff are the best!

She looked incredibly cute, was very though, but became all girly and fiddly when her crush was around! View spoiler Hide spoiler I just re-measure myself every once in a while to see if I didn't get a lot fatter or thinner and see if the mannequin is still good. Normally I'm not the type for video-tutorials (I prefer pictures), but when a friend showed me his Youtube channel I was hooked! So for this costume to be wearable again, I will have to remake and/or strengthen a lot of parts and to be honest I don't have much motivation for that right now and I prefer to move on to the next project. I like with Lilith how she comes over as very sexy, but is still quite clothed (she only has bare shoulders).I'm completely not used to cosplaying cute and shy characters, but what helped was that I was also not 100% comfortable in such a bare costume, even though I was wearing a bodysuit. Even though I didn't like the fit around my fingers, I was quite content with how I made the outer shape (I used a likewise method as how I made the boots covers). I remember struggling so much with it, while it's actually a joke compared to a lot of other costumes I've made. So the process you see here happens with at least 3 layers and most of them have to be undercoated in 2-4 different positions so everything can dry well.
