This is the first time I’m actually coming out and saying what I’ve been working on. In my decade+ of cosplay, I’ve never hand-made everything entirely from scratch so I didn’t know if I could do it. And should I have failed, I didn’t want to embarrass myself. But… It’s coming along! I just got this (super long, super heavy) base wig tonight and immediately started working and suddenly realized I haven’t had dinner. But I’m so, so glad I took the arrow to the wallet and bought a new wig, because the buns were just not going to work with weft extensions.Basically, I’m super proud I’ve managed to make the buns as a real hairstyle, i.e., no form-holder or trick glued or pinned in. It’s all hair, some ties, fewer bobby pins than I expected, and about a pound of hairspray! This is obviously a WIP; I need to braid the other red weft and sew them both in, adjust the buns and trim a whooole lot of stuff… then for the best part, Frankenstein-ing a second wig in for the bangs because these wefts are just not full enough to make bangs, among other issues.I have two weeks to go and I’d say the costume’s about 65% finished. The shirt and armband need minor adjustments, the pants are done, I’m not making the boots until the next event I’ll wear this to (nor the squares on the pants), I have temp tattoos in-hand, color lenses, and I still have to figure out how to make the big heart emblem on the chest. Oh, and the blue undergarment — that’s the project for this weekend.Well! Onward!
