We all love superheroes, and if they are as cool as Nana from My Hero Academia we love them even more. Nana is the seventh user of the One for All quirk, same as All Might, the greatest hero of all time and symbol of peace! One of Nana’s greatest virtues was to go into battle with a smile to show everyone how strong she was. And she passed this onto All Might. This is how I made my Nana Shimura cosplay
Nana Shimura making off
I made my Nana Shimura Cosplay mostly from fabrics I had at home. She was an excuse to test some new patterns and I ended up with her bodysuit which I was very proud to make. I used stretch fabric for the bodysuit, faux leather for the gloves, viscose for the skirt and very light lining fabric for the cloak.
The belt is foam. I painted it with Rub’n’Buff. It was very easy to make. Check above to see some pictures of the process. Below you can download some of the patterns I used to make this cosplay. Check my how to make armour tutorial to learn a bit more about foam construction.
For this cosplay I used a very old wig which I cut shorter. First I trimmed the fringe roughly as long as I needed it. Then, I combed it back, I got extra volume this way. I used got2B glue hair spray and gel to shape it. Finally, I did a small bun and created spikes with more hairspray.
The final touch was the Sweety Bella Grey contact lenses from Uniqso which made my eyes look grey (Use the code “ALICECOS” for a 10% off)
