Black Lady - Black Dress #2

 

party invitation, 19th February 1996

26! It's that time of the year again, Cosplay Anniversary!

So, four years until my 30th, and I still don't know which costume to make, to celebrate it. If I have the budget, it will definitely be the Imperial Guard. My life is currently changing, for the better, maybe, maybe, I will.

Looking at my short wishlist list, I have two cosplay wish lists, a short list, of most likely to make or started costumes, and a long wishlist, full of possibilities. Looking at my short list, it could also be Yuuko's Green Dress, which I already started, or Hokuto's Queen Dress, which will also cost a lot, so maybe that one only after the Imperial Guard. Mmmm... the Imperial Guard is getting ahead... I'll seriously think about it. Maybe I'll start with the gloves and looking for boots I could use. I guess this one will be added to my short list sooner than I expected.

Anyway, I haven't been thinking much about it, I have a lot of cosplay stuff in my hands, finishing the Mad Hatter and writing about cosplay for the thesis.

+ One more year, and I'm still here, cosplaying.

- Besides posting online, I'm not doing anything to celebrate.

THE CUNNING PLAN 

Finish Hokuto's Mad Hatter! I've been keeping to my schedule, today I'll finish the closures and start sewing the shoe covers. The next week will be dedicated to the remaining white parts, the skirt's hem and the bloomers.

Meanwhile, check the 501st Legion costume section, make a costume breakdown, and start looking for materials, like the boots and the velvets. If I'm allowed to have the helmet 3D printed, I may have recently found someone who can print it for me.
