About Costume:
This costume was a lot of work cramped into a very small amount of time. I am a slow worker when it comes to making costumes so it's always a challenge for me when I have to move fast. All the patterns I drafted and created the costume myself. I still have a lot to learn with making patterns in particular.
I think this costume really helped me improve a lot. The multi colored skirt was a bit difficult for me as well as the jacket. I don't really have a dress form so making anything feels kind of impossible when it comes to sewing. It's something I work really hard at to try and be decent at. However props seem to come much more naturally to me than sewing. I still work to try and be good at very aspect of cosplay but there is always new things to learn and areas to improve upon.
