Costume Details

This costume was originally sent to me by Role Cosplay. I was quite satisfied with the overall quality, particularly with the fabric choices, however it required a lot of modifications! Some of these modifications included:

• Covering the gold details with gold glitter heat transfer vinyl

• Remaking the stockings

• Remaking the hair/ankle flowers from EVA foam

• Remaking the entire back bow

• Remaking the entire pauldron from EVA foam

• Adjusting the fit of the obi/top/skirt

• Replacing most of the accessories with resin-printed pieces, which I 3D modelled in Fusion360

Overall I think it would have been far easier just to make the whole costume myself from scratch, however buying a pre-made costume did save me a lot of money on custom printed fabrics!

I also 3D modelled and printed her signature weapon, Engulfing Lightning.
