Synchronicity is a story that takes place in a medieval like period. It tells of twins who were separated shortly after they were born. The brother wants to save the sister, who has been forced to sing for eternity, but my character Luka won’t let him do it so easily.
I am a Vocaloid fangirl. Vocaloid started as a singing synthesiser program but soon gained lots of popularity thanks to their anime style avatars. Many people created stories around these characters and Synchronicity is one of them.
How I made my Megurine Luka Synchronicity Cosplay
For the upper part I modified a base pattern and I also modified a basic skirt to create the right look for the hips. I used a long A-line skirt pattern for the other part of the skirt.
The bolero she wears was more difficult as the original design is a raglan sleeve with a mandarin collar. I Decided to close the jacket at the back to get a clear seam at the front which would be more visible. The jewel is just a painted cabochon.
All the dress was made on satin and when it was complete I finished it adding satin bias tape. I made sure it fitted perfectly well before I added a zipper.
I made the hat with foam and fake leather and I painted the details with acrylic paints in two different tones.
Wearing my Megurine Luka Synchronicity Cosplay
The first time I wore this cosplay was in Cartagena seRemanga.I only have these pictures by AchoVisual. If you notice I was wearing the wrong tights that day. Maybe I should have read my article about the correct underwear to wear for a cosplay
I was extremely happier when I got to wear this cosplay again at a photoshoot with Ian Moore. The design was lovely and I was still pretty proud of my work but I knew I hadn’t made it justice.
I fixed a few parts, wore a much more suitable make up for cosplay and had fun sitting on top of a piano for the photoshoot. Practice makes perfect and sometimes you just need a bit of extra time to get there.
