Why I chose this costume:
I wanted to do a skimpy cosplay again. I was only looking at this coslay at first but then Sharon said she wanted to do a Lady DMC4 cosplay so I decided to make this costume and cosplay together with her again.
I also love the design of the costume (for as much I still can call it like that).
How did I make it?
I drew my own pattern for this one and bought to much fabric. So I made a try-out costume and I had to change allot on it. I also had to find a way to create the ullision of not wearing underwear.
So I spend some time to think about the underwear part and how I could be able to walk normal in this cosplay.
I made this costume out of double fabric so you wouldn't see through it. I also used orange satin for some parts of the costume.
I found a perfect stretching lace and some nice golden lace for all the lace details.
First I wanted to make my own gloves out of my moms wedding gloves but I didn't had enough time to make them so I bought them at the store.
I also found some shoes at ebay but I couldn't move around in them so I had to buy new ones. Just like my wig and my contacts -__-. First bought the bad ones and then I had to buy them again.
I mixed up the drawing art and the original concept. Meaning I had a lightning at the back (which was hard to sew) and I made some small loops out of ribbon so I could use fish threat so my frontlap and backlap won't flap too much in the wind. Fish threat isn't very pleasant for your skin though.
The shoulderpads are made of funfoam and carboard.
Other thoughts:
I first though I would look like an idiot who just wanted to dress skimpy. But I'm very proud of this costume. It's skimpy but very neat and many people said that to me.
I didn't look like some kind of low paid woman from the street but more like a woman with attitude and who will kick your ass.
