Is it constructed the way hers is in the show? Absolutely not. Did it come out super cute? VERY YES.
I took some liberties with the design for my own personal preference, but this was a fun clear-out-the-fabric-bin project. My goal for the whole cosplay is to ONLY use materials I already have —including notions and thread! We’ll see how long it takes, but it’s good practice so far.
Process pics below the cut!
Okay I was pretty bad at taking process pics. To be fair, I moved twice while making this.
Pattern and mock up! Always a must when I alter a pattern into something new.
This is to show the materials I used. The main fabric is a yard of black flocked denim I had left over from a skirt I made years ago, and the binding around the edges is some burgundy satin ribbon. The metal boning I had was not very sturdy, so my fiancé suggested I secure two pieces with heat shrink tubing. Worked perfectly!
It just happens at the same day as some polish comic festival so I've decided against common sense that I giveaway prints at the event. In Cass' cosplay. In birthday hat. Because yes.
(After 8 years I FINALLY used the decorative stitch setting on my machine 😅 it came out pretty cute! Just adds a little extra dynamic to that dark over skirt)
Okay so they constantly switch his stripe, but I do want to know what the general fandom opinion is. It's almost always facing opposite from the camera.
