Where sexy gets out of control
I am an avid reader of That Costume Girl (http://thatcostumegirl.com/) In fact, this blog almost started because of hers. Lately, she talked about sexy versions of male costumes, and how it wasn’t that necessary to put a skirt to a male character; there are so many other possibilities.
I found the article very interesting, and I wanted to talk about ( Read more... ) -
My beast, My nightmare, My Overlock machine
It all started last year, in November. I fell in love with that somewhat cheap overlock machine. I wanted something to help me sewing, and maybe do more professional costumes. She was calling to me, like a siren.
My mom, who didn’t give me gifts for about a year (I am horrible at telling what I want as gifts, I am always out of ideas) told me she’d ( Read more... ) -
Na’vi « costume », a little thought

Costume Burn-out (Or when you overwork your costume)
I give up. You win, costume, I am humble in my defeat.

I decided to focus my color scheme on a sunset. Beautiful pink, purple, gorgeous orange and red, and a dash ( Read more... ) -

You get to see many people, take pictures, strike the pose, and it is a good way to make something without getting the whole “When will you wear -that-?” look from friends. You have your concept (we will talk here only about original costumes, not cosplay) in mind, the only thing left is well, to ( Read more... ) -
Making of a character - a costume journey LARP edition
So! You decided to make a costume for your character; there is always a question that comes to players’ mind.
What should I wear!?!
Yes, it happens to all of us. You know you want a sexy yet practical drow priestess costume but then, what will she wear? What will make her stand out? How can a vampire not wear just red and black without well, not ( Read more... ) -

No good deed goes unpunished!
Ugh sorry for the lack of updates, it seems that since I really wanted to start that journal, a lot of things decided that I wouldn't have the time nor the energy to do so! *chuckles* Unfortunately I am still waiting for the pictures taken of my costume to post (and I might just decide to take some myself!) about it ( Read more... ) -
