Making off the dress

For once I decided to make an easy dress. just, it wasn’t that easy! The base of the dress is a simple sleeveless pattern with darts in the bust and a gathered skirt rougly twice the size of my hips in chiffon. One of the reasons I made it was to reduce some fabric from my stash that had been there for a long time. The purple detail consists on an elastic trim which I cut and handsew to make it look how I wanted, it took me several hours but was worth the time.

Sweety Queen Dark Violet Lenses

Tomoyo has very dark purple eyes, in this occassion I chose the Sweety Queen Dark Violet Lenses which looked like a perfect choice for her. They come in blisters with a free case to hold them. If it is your first time wearing contact lenses remember to follow the best practices to keep them safe.

This circle lenses feature a dark purple colour with an outer black rim which makes your eyes look bigger. The uneven yet organic shape of the lenses make them blend with your eyes perfectly well. And they cover my dark eyes easily. As it is the case with Sweety lenses they are very cmfortable to wear.

Tomoyo Wig

I love when they make it easy to get wigs for your cosplay. Although I could have chosen any other purple wig, this one was particularly beautiful. The Tomoyo Wig features three different colours in their fibers, blue, dark purple and gray. It makes it look more natural. However, keep in mind that this wig looks darker in person than in the product photos. The wig is silky and full of hair and has lovely curls.

The bangs of the wig were already shaped for a straight cut. Nevertheless, I had to trim it a bit shorter to adapt it to the shape of my face. I also restyled each strand of hair individually, similar to how I untangle curly wigs, and I set it with strong hairspray to give it the anime look for Tomoyo.

This was a fun and easy project, but in the future I would love to make other Tomoyo dresses and more Sakura dresses as well. I can’t wait to use this wig and contact lenses again.

I actually started my New Year resolutions for cosplayers quite early and I decided to use several fabrics that I had been collecting through the years. If you haven’t started organising your fabric stash yet, I recommend you to do so now, it is really satisfying.

How I made my Devil Sakizou Cosplay

Of course I started my cosplay choosing a pattern. I chose a corset pattern by Simplicity as I had bought it half price on sales and hadn’t had the chance to test it yet. I was expecting a proper hugging corset but I was slightly disappointed. Even if it was a bit loose it still worked well.

As I said, it was the first time I sew this pattern. What could go wrong? Well, there are so many pieces, and numbers, and styles that I messed up and forgot to cut one of the pieces. I was able to fix it adding a contrasting pink brocade to my burgundy velvet base, but I did panic for a bit.

Of course, one of the characteristics of a Sakizou cosplay is the details. I spent many hours sewing trims, ruffles and jewellery to my cosplay.

The skirt was very easy to make. I wrote a full tutorial on how to make a burlesque bustle skirt and guess what, you can actually download the pattern here!

Finally, I made the rest of the details mainly with foam. I made some horns, a crown and bat wings and everything was ready to scare everyone. You can download the pattern for the foam wings here for free.

Wearing my Devil Sakizou Cosplay

Halloween was the perfect excuse for this cosplay. As Woolton Hall is one of my favourite locations I decided to wear it there for a photoshoot. The place is so Spooky! Actually, it is supposed to be haunted.

Fun Fact 1: I started this cosplay when I messed up a wig. I curled it so much I looked like Marie Antoniette. That gave me the idea to make a Sakizou.

Fun Fact 2: My skull was called Willy. It has been on top of my mantlepiece for months. He is part of the family now.

There are many versions of Alice in wonderland. The most known is the Disney version. The good thing about this character is that as long as you wear an apron and a blue dress people will know who you are. I actually made my Alice cosplay in one day with bits and pieces I had around and I did it for a kids party. They did love it.

Hay muchas versiones de Alicia en el país de las maravillas. La más conocida es la de Disney. Lo bueno de este personaje es que es suficiente con llevar una falda pomposa y un vestido azul para que el personaje sea reconocible. Este cosplay lo hice en un día con piezas que tenía por casa. Lo llevé en una fiesta de disfraces para niños y les encantó.

This character was actually based on a real kid called Alice Liddell, and the original drawings for the book written for her were similar but different from our known Disney character.

En realidad el personaje está basado en en una niña real llamada Alice Liddell, y los dibujos originales del libro escrito para esta niña eran similiares aunque diferentes de nuestro conocido personaje Disney.

How I made Alice in Wonderland Cosplay

For my version I wore a blue circular skirt my mother had done for my sister years ago. Of course I needed an apron and a puffed sleeve shirt as well. If you add a petticoat it will look even better!

Para mi versión llevé una falda circular azul que mi madre había hecho para mi hermana hacía muchos años. Por supuesto, también necesitaba un delantal y una camisa con mangas abuchonadas. Si le añadís un cancán quedará aun mejor!
