White Wizard Begins!

So this Saturday I'm going to Retrospelsmässan in Göteborg. Since it is a fair aimed for retro video games I took the opportunity to cosplay from the first Final Fantasy game, and I'm going as a white wizard. This is one of my more spontaneous cosplays since I already have three others to be done with next week when it's time for UppCon, but I couldn't resist to make a white wizard.

The white wizard is the upgraded White Mage so I will be going around with a red cape along with my robe.

The start of the robe without the sleeves and the hood.
I based the pattern of the my middle age robes and just added a bit more gores. 

First testing. I added the ribbon just to see what it would look like, and well I have a really big underskirt that I won't use in the final cosplay. ^^

The hood was added. It is huge, humongous and just big.

That's all for now. Now I should be studying a bit more so I can continue all the sewing later. 

Busy and more busy

You might have noticed that I haven't been here so much and it has it's reasons. I am at the moment writhing my final essay and it demands a lot of time. But I can let you in on a few starters of my Rosa cosplay.

So far I've only started on her top, one of her millions sashes, the cape and the shoulderpads.

First I had to decided which fabrics I would use for the top. In the end I go a white thin cotton, two layers of old lace curtain, a thick green cotton and the lining. 

Cutting out fabric. This is actually the thing about sewing that I find the most boring and usually the fabric lays on my floor a couple of days before I measure and finally cut out the patterns. 

The lining complete with 'shim'?
Well, I still have to sew it together. 

The parts all put together, now I just have to sew it together. 

Well that's all I have photos of so far. Bye!
