So after making Ultimate Madoka, I found myself with a good portion of leftover fabric, and decided I'd use that for my Sakura Kinomoto cosplay - I have other outfits that I like better, but I mean, how could I not since I had the fabric for this?
I know this progress is sorta lacking, but girl let me tell you. I made this costume in less than 10 hours, I was just on a roll!
This was my FIRST time making an actual petticoat, which was kind of intimidating, since I hate visible petticoats and knew that I had to do whatever I could to counter that, so what I did was to layer my pink lace over the bottom tulle, and it worked PERFECTLY. It did take some tries to find out how thick I wanted the upper part.
The two white layers are full circles with added width, so I could ruffle it, to make sure to get the poofy effect.
This was the second time I did a fitted shirt, and browsed through a lot a lot a lot of references, to make sure that I could make my own pattern.
In the end I figured it out and it actually fits me close to perfectly, which I'm very proud of, since I did all the pinning ON MYSELF, no help, no mannequin.
The finished dress doesn't have as puffy sleeves as the actual design, just because I didn't want to make those kinds of sleeves, I like the aesthetic of the bottom heavy ones better. And since it's a hall cosplay - I do what I want 8D
Since there was so much going on with the lace, I decided to add some see-through patterned fabric I've had lying around to the top, just to pull it together, it's pretty subtle and doesn't show up much, which I'm good with.
And the socks and choker, don't you just love shiny satin? 8D haha, but I'm so happy that the white stretch isn't see-through at all, it's very solid and pure white.
I wore the costume out for the event at the National Museum, having recieved my wig (christmas gift from mustacheerbabu) the day before, so I hurried with the cutting and styling, so it's definitely not finished, but the color is just.. amazeballs, can't wait to show you all of this properly.
All I'm missing now is my stars, staff and bows :D
you did a great job with this!
