Lady
Devil May Cry 3
Hours: 45 hours
Cost: 150, 00 Euro
Worn at: Games in Concert 2008
Why I chose for this costume:
I made a cool Dante coat form my fiancée in 2006. We where asked to cosplay at Games in Concert 2008. He would cosplay Dante again. I really wanted to cosplay with him as a couple so I decided to make Lady. It would be an easy cosplay but the props would be hard to make.
How is it made?
I used a pattern from a blouse I made before. I made it much shorter and a bit tighter.
I once wanted to make a Chii version out of Freya's outfit. So I made a white short. Since I never went further with that cosplay, I used those shorts for this costume. I just put a few pieces inside since it was a bit too tight with jeans fabric.
I drew a pattern for the pockets and sewed those on a band. To make the band fit my hips, I stitched a few seems in it.
It was the first time that I made gloves and I hand stitched them together and used fabric glue so the seams won't open up.
I made the guns out of triplex wood. My mom helped me by saw the pieces of wood. I painted them. To bad I couldn't get a better gold-yellow color.
These guns are called Ebony and Ivory. These are Dante's guns but I liked them very much.
I can wear my guns just as Lady does. One on her back, and one in the front.
As for Kalina Ann, my fiancée made Kalina Ann for me. He had problems with the front and the back so I helped him out with these two parts.
I made the back piece out of wood and the front out of foam rubber, cardboard and duct-tape.
He made the complete construction out of PVC pipes and used a broomstick for the handle at the front.
Other thoughts:
This costume was really COOL to do.
I got allot of attention with my Kalina Ann and they sure recognized me.
I also received allot of compliments on my costume.
Too bad I didn't have the contacts or a black wig.
But for sure I love this cosplay for its looks.
