Bagle As Alois Trancy... Sort Of

Hi people. Just posting these not-so-great but amazing-anyways pictures of my friend, Bagle. There you have it.

Bye bye now!

Alois Trancy Cosplay Part Two: Jacket

Next, I started working on the jacket part of my Alois cosplay.

When searching for fabric, I eventually went for a more purpley fabric as opposed to a more maroon fabric and a dark purple liner also. Unfortunately, I have not made enough worthy progress due to much busy-ness lately so this is all I'm posting. Hopefully next time you see a jacket post, some actual progress will have been made. Haunted Halloween everyone!

Alois Trancy Cosplay Part One: Boots

When I first started breaking down his outfit into pieces, I decided to start with his boots. Now, if you remember earlier, I said that I didn't like buying cosplays because that would be cheating but I would end up cheating a little bit on this one. Well, even though I'm cheating, I really don't want to buy something from a cosplay website because that would still be too easy. Instead, I decided that I would try to find everything I needed from someplace different. (Note: I said try.) I started with his boots because I figured it would be incredibly difficult to find boots in a similar style. (I was proven correct.) I knew that they weren't going to be exact, so I narrowed down a list of characteristics that I wanted the most. Here it is:

• Dark brown (light brown or black will not cut it)
• About knee high (give or take a little)
• Correct heel shape (height doesn't matter as long as the shape is right)

 When I first started looking for them, I didn't even bother to try and look for boots with ribbons let alone purple ones because I figured it would be dead near impossible to find. Finding boots the correct height with the right heel was not hard at all but finding them in the right color was a nightmare. I quickly figured out that if I wanted the fancy heel, I could usually only find them in a light brown or simply black. Unfortunately, I'm stubborn. I would not settle for that. After days of searching, I had still only found a list options that had two of the three requirements. Then, I had a "Duh" moment and realized that I hadn't looked on ebay. I quickly found what I was looking for.

The boots I found are just above the knee (according to the company even though they only go up to my knee), a lovely dark brown, and have the fancy heel (taller than Alois' but that's okay). They are actually made to be laced with ribbons and came with long brown ones that I have replaced with purple. If you want more information on the boots (they come in brown and black), don't be shy (Light), just ask. Later!

First Project I Shall Be Blogging About

Hello Nobody!
I hope that you're all glad that I started this blog!
It's good to see you here!

I'm just going to jump right into this, my first project will be an Earl Alois Trancy cosplay from the anime Kuroshitsuji II or Black Butler II. I don't really like buying cosplays because I feel that that is taking the easy way out. But saying that, I will admit I will be buying things for this cosplay (just not the whole thing). If you don't know the anime, here he is (he's the blondie-bear):

If you want to know more about the character or the series (manga or anime) just ask. (Did you get both references?) See ya!
