Construction Details:

Perona is made from 8 yards of matte black satin, 4 yards of semi-matte white satin. There was a TON of math involved, from the proportions of her dress, to the ruffles, to the hat on her head.
n
nEach tier is approximately 5-7 circles sewn together, finished with a rolled hem, and then attached to a base dress. I wore two petticoats under her dress to support the weight and to give it the body it has in Oda's art.
n
nHer bodice is drafted completely from scratch by myself. It's a 3 layered bodice with approximately 12 channels of plastic boning. The front design is milliskin heat n bonded on.
n
nHer hat is made from craft foam covered in matte black satin and red satin, the white flowers are attached with hot glue onto the base.
n
nKumashi is drafted completely from scratch by myself. I have never made a plush doll before so this was a huge challenge for me and I am incredibly proud of myself. He is made from brown, blue, and white short-pile fur fabric. His nose and claws are made from sculpey, painted and then attached via place a pin through the fabric and securing each piece into that pin.
n
nThe boots are resused from my Thriller Bark Perona.

Personal Thoughts:

I'm so impressed that Kacie and I kept out promise of over a year ago from last year's AUSA to cosplay time skip Zoro and Perona for this year's AUSA. Going for that Perona bingo.

Styling Notes

Cut blunt bangs into wig. Sewed additional wefts into sides for braids. Made and attached bun for back of hair.
