Construction Details:

This costume was made in two months for Acen 2017. The underdress is a cotton strapless dress with a built in steal boned corset. The scalloped hem has hand cut and sewn lace with golden seed beads and acrylic rhinestones. The blue bodice and skirt are made from satin and all the gold details were heat n' bonded satin that was satin stitched down. The bodice is also boned and lace up.





The armor is foam and worbla. All armor pieces were patterned by hand and shaped for a more form fitted look. The gauntlets have screws and bolts in them by the wrist to help with movement. All the worbla was filled with wood filler then sanded and primed with a gray filler primer. Each piece was then spray painted with black gloss enamel paint and hand painted with three shades of silver.





The cape was made from blue upholstery suede and lined with a light polyester. The fur trim was craft fur that was hand sewn onto the cape. The cape stays in place with two buttons and a cord loop.





The sword is hand cut acrylic with a led in the base. The handle was made from wood and detailed in worbla. The worbla was also wood filled, sanded, gray filler primed, gloss black painted, then hand painted with 3 shades of gold paint. The handle was covered in matching blue upholstery suede from the cape.

Personal Thoughts:

I was introduced to Fate Stay Night through my husband and it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the series. I really liked the characters but the moment I saw Saber I instantly fell. I loved everything about her! Her design was just beautiful, her personality is adorably sassy, and she's just that perfect blend of strong yet feminine. To me she was the ideal role model that I hoped I could be someday. When I decided I wanted to cosplay her I was incredibly nervous, but with lots of encouragement from my husband and best friend I tried it. She ended up not just being one of my favorite costumes but one of my favorite characters I've ever cosplayed.

Styling Notes

I cut bangs into the wig and stubbed the back ponytail. I then took a foam ball that I had cut an hollowed out and covered in in wefts. I made a braid from extra wefts and attached that to the bun and covered the stub with the bun.
