I wasn't able to get to Promstuck and I'm really bummed about that as it looked like it was a great time but...Yay! It's finally done! My Alois jacket is finished once and for all. Okay well maybe not "once and for all." I am not against redoing it at some point as it isn't my best work. This is because when I started making this jacket, I wasn't sewing everyday and only had mediocre sewing skills and the fabric I chose to work with was really just awful to sew. This means that by the time I got around to finishing the jacket, I had developed much better skills and now the jacket is kind of awkwardly terrible looking in some places but quite nice in others. (Also the pleats aren't accurate because I really just wanted it done--especially after three and a half hours of ripping out old basting stitches yesterday.) But it's done. So for now, I'll take it! Now on to the vest. Here's a picture of me in my completed Alois Jacket. Sorry about the wet hair and how disgusting my bro let's his mirror become. Hope you enjoyed this long awaited post. MadDog out!
THE SUMMER OF COSPLAY!
- FINISHING MY FRACKING ALOIS TRANCY COSPLAY ONCE AND FOR ALL! This involves:
Finish the pain in the butt Jacket.- Complete the vest.
- Make some booty shorts.
- Acquire black, thigh-high socks.
- Buy a wig.
- Completing either my C.C. or Homura Akemi (both of which I have already begun).
- Making my Senior Dress-Up Day costume (which I thought was going to be Zelda but now that I've taken on Hajime she may be off the table. I dunno--we'll see).
- Starting both a 833 M17UN4 C4P70R (Bee Mituna Captor from Homestuck) and a Trickster Dirk Strider (also from Homestuck).
- Designing and making the shoes, legs, and bodice of my Hajime Ichinose. (Preferably the arms as well but saving the wig, head piece, and skirt for later.)
Is Alois referring to the character from Black Butler? I am in the middle of season 1, but I have hear of the character.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the C.C. and Homura Akemi cosplays! I do not remember if I mentioned that Madoka Magica is another one of my favorite series and Homura is my favorite character from the series. :)

Yes, Alois is from season two of Black Butler. He isn't my favorite character however when I set out to cosplay him, my friend wanted to be Ciel and was happy to just have a cosplay partner. (And fair warning as you really seem to have good taste: the premise of Black Butler is better than the show itself although that could change with the upcoming season three.) I love Madoka Magica! Homura just hit me at the beginning of the show as so intriguing and mysterious and her character reveal did not disappoint.
DeleteLooking forward to more reviews! The Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood review was incredible! (I hope to do a good Riza Hawkeye cosplay one day.)
