One of the reasons why it took me so long to finish it was that I decided to complete the character with her grey suit, her sword and shield, and her cloak. They would all play their part on my performance at the UK Cosplay Championship that I entered in London. For the photoshoot I also decided to make her blue gala dress later on.

How I made my Wonder Woman cosplay

Most of my armour was made with several layers of high density foam. I have already showed you how I treat my foam to create armour. In this case I added a little trikc and scratched the surface with a pet brush to create the unique texture. Also, I used aluminium foil to create the leather look of the skirt.

For the shield and sword I carved the details with a knife and scored the runes with a soldering iron. The sword core was made with balsa wood, but it was so fragile that it cracked which made it flimsy. You can download the blueprint for the tiara below.

In this occasion I decided to use car paints to get the shimmery colour of the armour and skirt. I also weathered it and added scratches as in the film and finished with some fake leather details.

I was very happy with my cloak. This time I used a three part cloak pattern with an oversized hood and a black fur trim which I remade. The first time I wore it I had to improvise with some trims I had at home as the fur didn’t arrive on time.

I used lots of contour on my make up to imitate Gal Gadot’s features. I also used a dark brown parted wig for her hair and brown tones and a bit of bronzer for her face.

Wearing my cosplay

This cosplay was a real challenge. I finally was able to wear it in London for a competition. As I thought it would be appropriate, but never got to take pictures there. Paul Wills did an amazing job taking these ones later on.

It was much later when I managed to take pictures in an old mansion called Woolton Hall. It is a fantastic place, unfortunately it has been vandalised several times and it is now in a poor state. I can imagine the grandeur of the building when it was first built. At some point I hope it can be restored.

I was lucky enough to pose for several photographers, another one of them was Phil Palin. The settings around Woolton Hall building are as beautiful as the ones inside.

How I made it

After a lot of research, I finally was able to find a fabric very similar to the one used in the film. However, the material wasn’t as thick as I could have liked. It was a nice suiting fabric in several tones of grey.

My skirt and jacket had lots of tiny pieces to assemble. After a lot of work I modified an A-line skirt with a buttoned front and a military styled jacket with plenty of pockets. I was actually making a change of clothes during my performance. That is why I decided to use snap buttons on all the parts. It literally takes seconds to take off this whole costume and show the armour underneath.

I got the chance to take some awesome pictures of my Diana at Woolton Hall with the amazing photographer Stephen Johnson. As I live in England, Wonder Woman seemed to be a perfect choice

I have a thing about glasses. I do not really need them but can’t help looking sophisticated and touching them as much as I can when I wear them. But the pictures looked nice I guess.

This cosplay was a challenge for me as at the time I was told I shouldn’t do it. I wasn’t as pretty, as tall or as good as Gal Gadot. Whatever, maybe I am not, but I will not stop doing what I like just because of a petty person being mean and sad. I am a warrior, and as such I will not let anyone put me down.

How I made it

This dress was a real challenge to me. I has over 3 meters of fabric gathered and shaped to look like a greek godess. I started by making a mock up with old sheeting fabric so I could just play with shapes. When I finished, I made a similar pattern with my blue fabric. It was much ligher and flowy.

For the final piece, I made a base with some more fabric that shaped my body in a normal bodice. Then I gathered the fabric on top and attached it to my base. Everything is handsewn in place to make sure it doesn’t move. Apart from the bodice, all the gathers, the top and the skirt are one piece.

Wearing my Diana Prince Gala Dress Cosplay

The chosen location of my Gala Dress was the amazing Woolton Hall Mansion in Liverpool. John Ayliffe organised the shoot and I was lucky enough to work with some amazing photographers like Stephen Johnson and Alex Anderson

Both the interiors and the exteriors of this ancient house are amazing and they just made me feel like the real Wonder Woman.

I have always been a fan of Star Wars. The classic films are still some of my favourite to watch. And let’s face it, I have a weak spot for evil characters so Kylo was the one.

Making my Kylo Ren cosplay

As I said I only had time to make the helmet. I put together the rest of the cosplay from my wardrobe. The helmet however was a lot of work. This is how I made Kylo’s helmet

I started drafting the helmet with paper. After several attempts put together with masking tape I started cutting my pieces on 5 mm foam.

Don’t forget to add registration marks to the pieces to glue them pefectly. Once I had glued them and shaped them slightly I reinforced the pieces with black worbla with the help of a heatgun.

I used more worbla to add all the details, I also added little scratches and holes to it.

Finally, when all the pieces were ready, I primed the worbla, painted the helmet with matt black paint and used silver to paint the details. As it was still rather uncomfortable, I lined the inside with some more foam to make it more wearable.

Wearing my Kylo Ren cosplay

I was only able to take a few pictures of my cosplay in the garden. I tried to make my make up resemble that of Kylo in the film but giving it a female twist. One day I may finish the full cosplay.

Clara Oswald has been a Doctor Who companion for a while now. Doctor Who Series 8 was about to start and I had the chance to see the first episode at the cinema. Of course, I couldn’t go as a totally normal person so I chose to make a new Clara Oswald cosplay for the prerelease. This time I chose the impossible girl dress.

Clara Oswald ha sido la compañera del Doctor por un tiempo. La temporada 8 de Doctor Who estaba a punto de empezar y tuve la oportunidad de ver el primer episodio en el cine. Por supuesto, no podía ir como una persona totalmente normal, así que me hice un nuevo cosplay de Clara Oswald para el preestreno. En esta ocasión elegí el vestido de la chica imposible.

How I made my Clara Oswald impossible girl cosplay

I saw this fabric… The day before the event… on sales… and I… just went crazy and made a new Clara Oswald dress. If you are wondering, she is not my favourite companion but She is the one who resembles me most. She wears this in the episode called The name of the Doctor.

Vi la tela… el día antes del evento… de rebajas… y yo… me volví loca y decidí hacer un nuevo traje de Clara Oswald. Si os lo estáis preguntando, no es mi personaje favorito pero si el que más se parece a mi. Lleva este traje en el episodio llamado El nombre del Doctor.

The dress itself wasn´t difficult to make. I modified a base pattern and changed the darts to the chest.

El vestido en sí no era difícil de hacer. Modifiqué un patrón base y cambié las pinzas de sitio para que quedaran en el pecho.

The real problem was to match all those lines so they looked like the original dress. It took some time and I had the exact amount of fabric needed. When I finished this part I added the collar and the sleeves.

El verdadero problema fue hacer coincidir las lineas para que quedaran como en el vestido original. Tardé algo de tiempo y tuve exactamente la cantidad de tela necesaria para el vestido. Cuando esta parte estuvo montada le añadí las mangas y el cuello.

Wearing my Clara cosplay

I didn’t take any pictures of my cosplay that day. Actually, this dress would pass as a normal dress and I didn’t even wear a wig. The event itself was amazing and I really enjoyed it. There were many other cosplayers there so I didn’t feel alone.

No hice muchas fotos del cosplay de clara ese día. En realidad, este vestido pasaría como un traje norma y ni siquiera llevaba peluca. El evento en sí fue genial y lo pasé estupendamente. Había muchos otros cosplayers allí y no me sentí sola.

This year was the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who and as a whovian I wanted to celebrate as well so I decided to go to the cinema with an easy cosplay. I chose Clara from Season 7 Episode 1: Asylum of the daleks (my favourite monster by the way). I was lucky to find some good reference pictures someone had taken in a Doctor Who exhibit.

Este año ha sido el 50 aniversario del Doctor Who y como whovian y seguidora que soy de la serie quise celebrarlo yendo al cine con un cosplay sencillo. Elegí a Clara en la versión de la 7ª temporada: El manicomio de los Daleks (mis monstruos favoritos por cierto). Tuve la suerte de encontrar algunas buenas fotos de referencia que alguien había tomado en una exposición de Doctor Who.

As usual I didn’t have much time to do my cosplay, I did this one in two afternoons with materials I had at home. Basically I used foam, foam boards and several things I had around to do the gadgets. They turned out quite cool considering they were done freehand and in a hurry.

Como de costumbre no tuve mucho tiempo para hacer mi cosplay, lo hice en un par de tardes con materiales que tenía por casa. Basicamente use foamy, cartón pluma y varias cosas que tenía por casa para hacer los cachibaches. Quedó bastante chulo considerando que lo hice todo a mano alzada y con prisas.

I didn’t have time nor materials to do a dress from scratch so I used 2 red t-shirts sewn together and modified slightly (2 € a t-shirt so not bad). Remember to use a zigzag stitch when you sew elastic fabrics.

No tenía tiempo ni materials para hacer el vestido de cero así que usé dos camisetas rojas cosidas juntas y ligeramente modificadas (2€ la camiseta no está mal). Recordad usar un punto en zigzag cuando vuestra tela sea elástica.

The hair is actually a wig, I do have brown hair but no fringe nor so much volume, again I had it at home and that’s why it isn’t curly as in the episode (it is funny her hair remains straight the rest of the season ¬¬).

El pelo es en realidad una peluca, mi pelo es castaño pero no tengo flequillo ni tanto volumen, de nuevo la tenía en casa y por eso no está rizada como en el episodio (es gracioso porque su pelo es láceo durante el resto de la temporada ¬¬).
