Due to a suggestion from my boyfriend, and my eternal love of Sailor Moon, I've decided that I want to cosplay Sailor V in October. The problem is, I've never done a serious cosplay before (I was Neo Queen Serenity when I was about ten, but I was just a kid) and I can't sew to save my life. My mother can, however, and she's pretty crafty, so I'm sure she'd help me.
Now, to my question. I can figure out the skirt, gloves, shoes, and crescent. I'm even cool with the hair, since I already have long blonde hair. However, it's the shirt, collar, bow, and shoulder armor I believe I'll have a hard time with. If anyone has any advice for those, it would be much appreciated. Or if anyone knows where I can find some free patterns or tutorials and such. We're cheap, majorly, else I'd just try to buy the whole thing and save all the work, hehe.

Sailor V Help?
For the shoulder armour, I would say use craft foam (tutorial here):

For the bow, there was a tutorial posted previously on ACP:

That's ok, the only reason I knew it was there was because I read it previously.
Sailor collars, while a staple in cosplay, are surprisingly hard to find info on. :/ A lot of people on here have posted asking questions about how to do them, and as of yet it doesn't seem like there is anything helpful posted.
