I've been reading this and it makes me want to cosplay as Queen Puabi (with hand woven fabric of course) I don't need more projects and where the hell would I even wear an ancient Sumerian costume lol

I mean

I was so exhausted Sunday of Anime North that this is me waiting for the lolita tea party, just lying on the floor 😅

Dear men: if you absolutely must tell a complete stranger that you think she's beautiful, could you not do it by murmuring in her ear while you're standing directly behind her on the streetcar (This after I was already braced for Something as I saw him give me a very obvious full-body once-over 🙄)

We're getting there on Maple Miku! I'm especially happy with the custom-printed silk tie 😆 Now I need to get moving on the wig; I'm going to be using some unconventional materials 😅 Who will I see at Yeticon?

I survived Anime North but at what cost ⚰️ At least my last-minute sword harness rigging worked perfectly ❤️

I have so many masks I made from cute fabrics back in 2020 and I can't bring myself to throw them out even though I wear n95s now Idk what to use them for...

Guess who forgot that HTV exists and spent too long doing unnecessary appliqué...again

My part-time-goth ass being confronted with this: ok what if we went full-time

Hey gang turns out practice does work Over the course of today I have managed to get to a point where I can have critical role in the background instead of just music I still screwed up several times and I'm sure I missed a few smaller mistakes but I'm pleased

While I'm at my in-laws' for the holidays, finally broke out the bobbin lace kit I've had for ages. Man I'm sweating 🤣 serious concentration needed, presumably until it becomes muscle memory. It's hard to be a beginner at something again 😅 #lacemaking #bobbinlace

I'm a bird #kpopdemonhunters

I finally got my swords finished and got photos with them! I love my adventure grandma so much and she's also comfy! Costume made by me; swords, belt & chest medallions 3D modeled by @dangerousladies.ca 📷: @allyspock.bsky.social #baldursgate3cosplay #jaheira #baldursgate3

"Fun spooky" in the sun! I love how the light hits my organza sleeves in these shots. Everything hand embroidered by me, based on 17th century Hungarian dress. This dress takes awhile to lace myself into, but I love it a whole lot. 📷: @allyspock.bsky.social #criticalrolecosplay #laudnacosplay

Kimono outfit for dinner with a friend. Kimono made by me, haori and obi are vintage.

I went casual version Laudna!

It's still warm enough for me to wear this dress and jacket I recently finished! I was inspired by the Korean jogakbo patchwork technique. Mostly hand sewn, as I was on a family holiday and needed some relaxing hand sewing. 1000 flat-felled seams may not be relaxing to some, but it is to me 😅

Finally got some photos of Loulan! I'm so happy with how this costume turned out, although I need to redo the wig and make it into a helmet style so it'll survive transport better. 📷: @howlingshoopuf.bsky.social #apothecarydiariescosplay #loulan #loulancosplay

Representing j-fashion at #japanfestivalcanada I made this yukata from an Ikea duvet cover, and made the obi as well. #kimonostyle #kitsuke #yukata

Spending downtime on family trip with a bunch of unnecessary hand sewing. I was inspired by the Korean jogakbo technique; it'll be a sheer dress.

I don't think that's a taco

Ugh I love the colours in this kimono but the warp threads are just shattering with the slightest pull I can't bear to just toss it but I can't think of what else to do with it 😓

I think it's looking at me

Who will I see at Otakuthon?

I hope you're ready for the details spam bc I got my shoot back for the OG embroidery monster! This is a replica of a dress worn by the Duchess of Devonshire in 1897. I'll be posting some deep dive videos on this one, so stay tuned! 📷: @elementalsight.bsky.social #historicalcosplay

My fellow cosplayers who mask: what are your solutions for keeping your makeup intact during a full con day? I mask indoors but if I want to do an outdoor shoot later in the day, I'm always struggling to keep my makeup looking good. Are there any products or techniques you've found that help?
