I got these beautiful sequins from this wonderful place I found called Athena Beads. It has a huge variety of high quality bead, sequins, and crafting supplies in general and I just love these sequins. Eventually all of the sequins will be sewn down with those tiny little beads you can see on some of them, which I just got at Joann's. (Hopefully add and extra sparkle to everything.) And if you are wondering where this glorious fabric came from, I got from this Etsy shop. It's expensive I'll admit, in fact this whole project has just been expensive (although I have been pretty good about finding deals where I am able), the fabric is quality and the pictures really doesn't do it's beauty justice.
These here are the sleeves although they are not complete quite yet. To minimize (French) seams, I went for raglan sleeves. Haha you can see my started Daenerys armor still on Phyllis (my dress form).
Aaaaaand that's my messy workspace. Wig hair everywhere fabric lying about, altered pattern pieces all over the place, etc. Welcome to the world of cosplay.
Along with this progress, I have also worked a lot on the train and worked on the wig which you shall see when it is fully styled. (Just FYI: the wig I bought is Arda's Suzi in Titanium Blonde AR017 altered by sewing in a pack of long wefts in that color to add to the thickness.) That's all for now--I hope you are excited for the final product! MadDog out!
P.S. It's official! I'm going to Sunday of Another Anime Convention. If you're going look for an odd Mituna Captor cosplayer and strike up a conversation if you so choose.
