Previously i cosplayed an illustration version of Tomoyo. Now i'll be making another version of Princess Tomoyo, based on the manga-art above. Since it's B&W, i'll be making colour assumptions based on other artworks by CLAMP.
Started off with a drawing on how the 'dress' would look like...and proceed with a rough drawing of how the individual pattern pieces would look like. From there i measure and estimate how much cloth i need to get. i plan to make the skirt a full-circle.
The inner top of my previous Tomoyo costume. I plan to dismantle it and redo the sleeves part entirely. Will be changing the collar colour parts as well and Bling-ify itz! \o/
Bought the fabric for the outer 'dress'.... 9 meter worth. The colour is so pretty isn't it?! *__*
Here in M'sia we call it 'terompah'... a type of slipper made from wood, much like the 'japanese geta', yes?! It's something i previously owned... all it needed was flowers and beads blings and it's now all cosplay-worthy.
Tomoyo's wig and the twin hair wrap thing of hers. Not pretty satisfied with it so later we'll redo it using another method.
Previous costume's waist belt thing we lovingly nicknamed 'Tentacles'. We prettify the tentacles a bit with iron-on bead blings. The 4 'logo' was hand painted.
Bought some lace that will be used for the detailing of the top part of the outer 'dress'.
As i handle the 'sewing related' parts, Yuan handles the 'props/accessories construction' parts of the cosplays. First she dismantled the previous cosplay's headgear and save whatever part that can be used to make a new headgear.
Re-colour the middle 'flower'.
Then paint the details and add beads to bling-ify it.
Cut the big middle part out of cardboard and add wire to reinforce it.
Cut the small flower pieces, colour it and add beading detailing.
'Gattai'!!! The middle is done....and now on to the side 'horns' of the head piece.
TO BE CONTINUED IN PART 2....
