♥~Senshi Fuku~♥
I refitted my basic fuku pattern for this cosplay. The main part is made from a high quality White Spandex and Orange Casa Satin. I used my updated skirt and collar pattern that I drafted earlier for Kagome. I used the Zan's pattern design for both the hip-roll and sleeve-rolls I just had to adapt the sizing to fit my fuku.
I finally tried my hand at a pleated circle skirt which was kinda nerve-wracking but I am quite pleased with how it came out. I also did make the skirt a little longer due to the nature of the event I was creating it for (I didn't want it to be too, too short).
I re-used Eternal Sailor Venus's front bow and I made a new back bow using Sparkle Pipsi's tutorial to match the other girls in the group. The front bow was made with Blue Casa Satin and the Back bow was made with yellow matte satin that I bought locally that matches casa satin in sheen, texture, and appearance.
The collar stripe is top-stitched bias tape.
♥~Jewelry~♥
The brooch was made by Zan so that the group would all match. The choker and ankle straps are made from Orange Casa Satin. I made the earrings from Genuine Swarovski crystals.
♥~Gloves/Glove Rolls~♥
The gloves are brand new matte satin gloves I found. The glove rolls were made from Orange Casa Satin using a variation on a glove roll tutorial.
♥~Hair Bow~♥
It is a fully functional hair-bow that I made it from a matte red satin.
♥~Shoes~♥
The shoes I made from dance shoes that I had in my shoe stash that I altered and painted with a custom mixed to match orange paint for vinyl. - Personal Thoughts:
- I had been thinking of cosplaying Venus for a while since she's one of my favorites, and with Crystal coming out, ACP doing a casting Call for Sailor Venus, and actually having all the materials to make this cosplay on hand I thought it was the perfect time to finally do so! Thus this cosplay finally came to fruition. ♥
