My friends, who are far more knowledgeable about anime and video games than I am, helped me create this costume for the first anime convention I ever attended (first convention period, for that matter). It was just a local thing, but going somewhere in costume is always fun. This costume is of Aeris/Aerith from the Final Fantasy franchise. Just about every part of it comes from a thrift store--the pink dress is shorter than what the character actually wore, but it's close enough, as is the cropped, short-sleeved red jacket worn over it. The shoes I borrowed from my friend, and some black string took the place of the necklace the character wears. ______________________________________________________________ Costume Submitted By:
In Front Of The Baltimore Fountains I've always been an avid Final Fantasy player, and the seventh installment is a particularly recognizable hit. I do look a bit like Aeris already, so I thought I could pull off a cosplay as her. However, I wasn't crazy about her character design. I've seen a lot of remakes for other titles she's been in (ie, Kingdom Hearts), and considered doing my own. I actually got my "Queen of Hearts costume" inspiration from an e-mail circulating at my University, advertising the Queen of Hearts Valentine's Day ball. I took that theme, perhaps mixed it with some Alice in Wonderland notions, and started sketchin'. As for construction, I bought a pink, floor length dress, gathered at the bust. I cut about half of it off, took it in a few inches, gathered up the bottom for the tier like effect (I'm sure there's a tutorial for that somewhere..I just kind of made it up when I did it, though). Then I hand sewed all of the buttons on it. There's also a jacket that I dyed for it (it took forever because the jacket was polyester! Ugh, avoid that if at all possible. Please.) but it was way too hot to wear in the picture, and I unfortunately don't have any other good pictures of me wearing it. The other accessories were just purchased online. Overall, it was a very successful redesign--many people liked it better than her actual outfit. My best advice: if you want to redesign a character/stylize an outfit, it's always best if they're fairly iconic. It gives a lot more freedom to the design since they already have such a wide recognition base. "I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for
good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 Copyright 2009-2012 Birthday-Party-Ideas-101.com src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"> |
