About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
The whole costume is made to be adjustable to fit any size. I did grommets in the back so i can tighten or loosen the bodice. The petticoat is a wrap around skirt. I used the most obnoxious glittery fabric I could find since he is technically a magical girl. (Yes..this is a GUY). I really had a lot of fun working on this. I even made stockings for the first time, and my gloves look like gloves and not claws! I made all the ribbon roses on the costume as well and painted my shoes that delightful pink color.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I actually made this costume as a joke. My sister's boyfriend made the comment last summer that if he had that costume he would wear it because he really liked the character. After finally watching the show in the fall, I decided to make the outfit because I just really liked it myself and I wanted to make it really over the top. I also wanted to make it so that I could wear it, but I could also make him wear it. So as a surprise, I made it and set it up on a mannequin in his living room so he saw it when he came home from work. Needless to say the reaction was priceless and he will be wearing it.
