Costume attempt...
« on: October 17, 2004, 07:02:50 am »

I'm finally working on the Elly costume. However, the cotton fabric I selected has to be prewashed... or something something.

Right now, I'm working on the boot covers. (Cannot find white boots to actually ruin... blast!) As you can see from the pics, I kind of lost track and stumbled around.

http://kiapurity.leamonde.net/images/irlpi.../digital/boots/

The cord in the last three pics is the camera's plug because the camera's batteries died... so... I gotta buy new ones!

I seem to like using felt too much. (The boot covers are made out of felt. I just have to add the black felt... later. Need to really finish them before adding the blasted trim!)


Edit-- Update!

More pics have been uploaded. The boots are finished. Time to start on the dress. _-_

... *stuffs Zohar plushie in the boots just for the heck of it*

A really major update.

I guess I could be the worst Elly cosplayer, ever.

i think you'd make a better Shion than Elly.. but either way -make the costume more body-fitting because it looks fat on you, unless you happen to be pregnant.. and you should've made the uniform out of white and black pvc leather imitation and not do a simple one-piece dress, doesn't Elly have a skirt? the garment should also be significantly shorter because whenever Elly falls over in the game's battle sequence Fei can see her panties. also loose the glasses, use more make-up and tell the lousy photographer to get your whole body into the picture next time because i cannot even see how the boots look on you..

PVC? HELL NO.

I have a psycho sewing machine that has bobbin issues, so any complex fabric would destroy it.

Besides, I had to use a pattern for the dress. It was the only one they had in the book that would work. I'll have to figure out how to adjust it on the sides to make it look like a waist line.

Skirt? Er? How? http://kiapurity.leamonde.net/artwork/desi...ychardesign.jpg <-- doesn't look like a skirt to me, just one piece. (scanned from XG:PW)

And besides, my brother couldn't really move because the digital camera was plugged in due to its batteries having died.

For some reason, I really didn't think to take my glasses off. =P (Then again, I was almost late to a party...) Same with not getting make up on.

And I chose cotton because I had planned on making this for A-Kon which would be in Texas during the summer... (Others did say that it was leather but like I said, sewing machine issues and that leather isn't exactly breathable. I'd die from heat stroke in leather/pvc/whatever. I needed cotton because it would be easier that way.)

Though, I will be making new white sleeves because the ones I made... just a bit too tight at the top. (As you can see by the flesh that showed. D'oh.) And I'll try my damnest to get the waistline to show up but I'd have to be careful about making it too tight because I couldn't get it on otherwise. (I forgot to add the zipper. Whoops.)

As for Shion idea, thanks, but someone else already beat me to it. XD But... Shion's costume would be hard for me as well. *shrug*

At least I tried. ;_;

That was a really good self-made costume, imo.  Very very cool Smiley

Nope it's definately a one piece outfit for Elly's costume, however the original one is more form fitting if you know what I mean.  I think what A.C is trying to get at is that your version at the moment doesn't match the curves of your body like the one in the game.  Which is a valid point even if he expresses it badly.  I agree with TC, superb effort though it could use a little fine tuning.

Man on the Train : I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting

Invisible zipper!

(Or it could've been a pullover)

Who knows? They never explained in PW. It'd be nice if they could actually show where the seams and zippers are so it'd be easier to cosplay. (...maybe?...)
