We were invited to a costume party which was themed with "Favorite Video Game Characters". Sjaantze, (Harbinger of Distraction and Snapper of Necks of Small Furry Animals) decided to attempt Harle, from Chrono Cross. Below is her first modeling of the costume (still a work in progress), more pics should come this weekend with full makeup.
It's a 5 piece costume;
Most of this was made with costume suede (blue and red). The stuffed hood was Sjaantze's own design which is sewn from 5 pieces, a front with both liripipes, two back pieces and a small diamond at the center top (which helps the whole thing lay properly). They are stuffed with polyfill and have small bells at the points. Two small balls made from a feather boa highlight the cheeks The bodice is four pieces plus the sleeves, its trimmed with a feather boa and has a small velcro closure on the back. The gloves are also Sjaantze's design, the stiffened cuffs were accomplished through the use of Pellon, a stiff interfacing. The pants are basic drawstring pants made of tissue lame'. The final bit, the "poulain" or pointy/curly toed shoes were designed by myself and have a stuffed toe with feather boa trim to match the bodice.
