Costume Details

This costume was my refresher after my year-long Navia project and was originally intended to be finished for Halloween 2024, but ended up dragging out longer than expected! Since it was just a personal project, I used it as an opportunity to really refine my sewing techniques. The bodice is very neatly constructed, including spiral steel boning for shaping and a lot of top-stitching.

Through this project I also learnt to make gusseted gloves for the first time, which is a challenge in itself! I patterned the gloves myself, and have made a Cosplay 101 guide breaking down the whole process.

To save time, I purchased pre-made STL files for the guns and accessories, with a few additional accessories modelled by myself. Putting together the guns was a time-consuming process of many hours of sanding, but I was able to reward mysef at the end with this gorgeous blue-purple colour shift paint.
