MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay: Devit (aka Debitto aka David) Cosplay Part One: The Pants...

Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

Devit (aka Debitto aka David) Cosplay Part One: The Pants...

I'm going to make most of this cosplay by altering clothes. Just letting you know. That being said, I have decided that Devit's pants will definitely be the hardest part of making his outfit so that's why I am starting with them. Like a lot of anime clothing, Devit and Jasdero's pants a very bizarre (they are very bizarre and their outfits are very bizarre in general). If you are just jumping in now and have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a picture. (Jadero's pants are basically the same with the exception of them not being short on one side.)

Moving on. To start this, I ordered some leggings and some cord from Amazon. What I plan on doing is basically cutting open the front and back of each leg, sewing them so that the cuts are nice and straight, and then lacing them up with cord. (If that makes any sense.) Also, I'm going to cut and hem one side so that I have one long pant leg and one short pant leg. (Like Devit's.) To make the Jasdero's pants (Bagle will be cosplaying as him) the same method will be used with the exception of cutting one side short. Simple enough? And finally, pictures and links. (Sorry, stillhaven't had time to figure out the timer thing yet--final exams--so you're still gonna have to deal with awkwardly taken photos.)
