Elizabeth was never my first choice. Pink is my least favourite colour and I don’t really like silly spoiled brats like her. Yet, destiny made me be part of a Kuroshitsuji cosplay group and I decided to make my Elizabeth Middleford pink dress cosplay for a photoshoot. It turned out to bea super comfy cosplay to wear as well as so much fun! I also levelled up my sewing skills with her.
How I made it
At the time I was just learning how to make my own patterns, I made a base pattern for the top and made a circular skirt or to the bottom part. Then I made some puffed sleeves and added all the details to my pattern. I didn’t know a lot about fabric materials at the time so I chose to make my costume with the reverse part of satin fabric. I didn’t like the front as it was too shiny. Also, I made my own bias tape for the dress to make sure all the colours matched the fabric I had chosen.
The collar was detachable and I made a petticoat with wide tiers to wear under the dress. I used my trick to make perfect ribbons that she wears on her neck and the back of the skirt and I also made bootcovers for my shoes. There were a lot of details but I was very happy with all of them.
Wearing my Elizabeth Middleford Cosplay
I have only worn my Elizabeth cosplay twice. One of them was for a photoshoot with my friends. We went to a local garden to take the photos and we got some amazing ones. Unfortunately our Ciel got the date wrong and she couldn’t join the photoshoot.
However my friend Haru-kun played his part very well as Aloy Trancy. We went up to a different location in a sanctuary to take some more pictures with our cosplays and had a fun day.
I really love the pictures we took at the time, however, I would like to shoot again and improve my make up and wig as I know I could do so much better now that I did back at the time. Can’t wait to wear this dress again.
