Elsa Swimsuit Cosplay

Elsa was a hit. Everybody wanted to cosplay her and no wonder why. She is a very powerful woman who doesn’t want to be trapped.

I made an original cosplay based on Frozen. Summer holidays were coming and so were the conventions that took place near the beach. I decided to make my own version of Elsa if she were to wear a swimsuit.

How I made my Elsa swimsuit cosplay

I was lucky enough to get a swimsuit that already had a snowflake looking design. With that, some cool blue fabrics and lots of patience i made my outfit.

The real challenge was to cut the little pieces to sew them to the swimsuit. So…many…of… them…cut one by one. First, I tested the colours, I used acetate (clear plastic sheets) and I tried different nail polishes to see which one I liked best. I chose a white and a light blue, both of them seethrough to paint every single scale.

Another detail I made was to round the borders of each piece. Furthermore, I made holes on top and bottom of each one. I recommend you to do it before you start sewing, it saves a lot of time. However, it still took me ages to sew every single individual piece.

It took me 2 days non-stop from 12am to 12pm, with only lunch and dinner short breaks to finish sewing all the pieces.

Wearing my Elsa swimsuit cosplay

I wore this cosplay at Summer Freak 2014, all the little girls asked me if I was a real princess and I had lots of fun.

I also decided to make the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS that was viral at the time. After all, the cold never bothered my anyway.
