Cancer (Zodiac) - Sakizou
Worn at:
Katsucon 2016- Washington DC
Description:
Wig: I used a Luthien and two curly clips in Apple Red from Arda . I airbrushed in some pink highlights with white airbrush paint. It's faint but adds a little dimension to the wig. I loosened up some of the curls on the clips to help it blend into the long base wig.
Headpiece: I got some fake flowers from the dollar store and hand stitched them to a flexifirm (like stiff felt) base which was then glued to a hair clip. I used clear claw clips to hold up the strung pearls in the wig.
Corset: I used and modified Simplicity pattern 9769 for the corset. I used maroon twill for the lining and used a mix of spring steel and spiral steel for the boning. The outer layer is red silk shantung which are leftovers from my Rempo a costume I made in 2010! I custom dyes silk Georgette in two shades of pink for the frills in the front. A synthetic frill trim was hand stitched to the corset, along with strung gold pear.
The armbands are spandex with resin rhinestones glued on top.
Shorts: They are made with custom dyed silk charmeuse (Leftovers from my Hana cosplay). I installed 1cm elastic on the pant legs and at the waist.
Stockings: I added some satin ribbon bows to the garter belt I bought cheaply online.They hold up a thick satin ribbon. The base stocking were dyed baby pink and over top is a pair of white stocking I bought online on AliExpress.
