Today's Delayed Episode:
I should have posted this last April. XD
How to make a Vidoll inspired costume for Cosplay Magazine photoshoot. You can view the original costume
here. Notice that I didn't copy the exact costume especially the black patterns on the legwarmers because it's too complicated. :P
Preparing The Black Swirlie Patterns
Draw a swirlie pattern on a piece of card board and it will serve as your template design for the whole costume.
Sew it on the cloth using zig zag stitch.
This is what it looks like at the back.
Making The Coat
Pattern for the sleeves.
Add the black swirlie patterns.
Pattern of the back coat.

Sew the side and add black bias tape. This is the short cut version. The original one should have rivets and shoe laces on it. Yes, I'm lazy. :P

Add laces at the top near the garterized area.
