I got the cloak made, and the armor finished. I am so happy with the cloak!! I was so worried about making it, but after stressing myself out completely, I did it. Still no sewing machine, it will probably be easier when I get one.
The armor didn’t quite turn out the way I planned. I probably should have tried it on before the actual day. For my first time, I didn’t do too badly, but I didn’t do fabulous either.
These are the only 2 pictures I got of the costume. It kept falling off. The ribbons kept sliding on the material of the shirt & pants I was wearing, so the whole thing kept falling down. The contact cement didn’t hold the ribbons that was holding the D-rings. They kept popping off. I got so frustrated with pulling them up, then the adhesive not holding that I just started taking it all off. I was going to go home and change, but hubby said that I didn’t look that bad wearing just the shirt and pants with the cloak. I wore that the rest of the night, and actually started accepting that I don’t have to be perfect the first time doing things.
I’m taking a break from cosplay for a few weeks. I’ll come back with a better attitude and more patience.
