Construction Details:

Tunic: Made from polyester twill and gold ribbon, and is fully lined. The front attaches with velcro, which hides the zipper that actually keeps it together.

Gloves: So in my newer version, I actually made the gloves out of stretchy woven material. (Note to self: Don't do this again)

Leg-cover...thing: Make of the same stretchy woven material as my gloves using a bootcover tutorial--just without the shoe part.

Cuffs: The white cuffs are made from polyester bengaline and are interfaced to keep them stiff-ish. The design on the wrist cuffs are hand-embroidered (because I seem to want to include embroidery in all my costumes)

Bodysuit: I bought a navy turtleneck and leggings in my size, turned them inside out and sewed a couple of straight lines to get that ribbed texture. After a while of wearing it, the underside imprints the ridges on you though, haha.

Cape is some kind of knit and some kind of evening wear fabric I found in a remnants pile. This is literally a rectangle with a ribbon through it. Makes for a nice makeshift blanket sometimes.

Shoes: Bought some cheap shoes and painted them blue. The cuffs are made of fabric and are attached using hot glue.

Armor, Tiara, Mask: Made of some combination of Worbla, craft foam, and hot glue. Painted using acrylic paint.

Belt: Made of upholstery vinyl. I am never making belts out of this stuff again. Gods.

Falchion: Made of balsawood, expanding foam, craft foam, and tape.

Personal Thoughts:

This is that one costume I started before even playing the game. But it's Fire Emblem, and I've wanted to make a Fire Emblem costume since playing Blazing Sword.

Styling Notes

Took my Hakuryuu wig and trimmed off a good two inches. Developed newfound respect for my local barber. For default lord class, I took a longer dark blue wig from Lucaille and layered it, so the long parts can be tucked underneath the cape for the Marth disguise. But then I realized I thinned it out too much and had to go back and sew in additional wefts (from Arda) to retain the same volume.
