About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
The corset is 4 layers and fastens with a zipper in the front. It is boned with industrial cable ties (which are stronger than regular plastic boning, but less strong then steel). Since I didn't need the corset to reduce, just have structure the plastic was perfect.
The skirt is a circle pattern I drafted myself, as well as the arm warmers and hat. The blouse is an altered commercial pattern.
The rifle is made of craft foam and PVC. I built the rifle shape, leaving one side exposed and filled it with expanding foam. The foam was then cut down and the box was topped. The design work is a separate piece of foam. The whole rifle was coated in wood glue and mod podge and then painted. - Personal Thoughts:
- Mami <3

- Styling Notes
- The twin tails were wrapped around a cone (covered in parchment so the hair wouldn't stick) and held together with copious amounts of hair glue...like 2 tubes worth. After they had dried I used clear thread to hold them into the proper shape. Then I fixed any areas that needed it with freeze spray. After the tails were done I cut the bangs in using a razor.

- Thank you Arda for making a full skin part, saved me some precious time!
