My first cosplays: the horrors LOL
In particular, the Anemone Story *que horror music and high pitched scream*
So when I first started cosplaying, I sewed everything by hand and had no other knowledge of how things should be constructed. Pit, my first cosplay, was literally put together all with safety pins and velcrow LOL xD no sewing anywhere. When I was young, I also made some clothes for stuffed animals, so I kind of had a sense of what to do. First thing I made for myself was this little green vest for my Gardevoir gijinka that no one needs to see LMAO
It wasnt that bad but yea xD so anyways, after that, Anime North 2009 was coming up! Since the first manga I read was Eureka Seven, I really liked Anemone. So I chatted with some friends and we decided we would do our first group cosplay! So I tried my very best to make my Anemone dress....and let me tell you how this monster was made:
-No zipper
-No patterns used
-All sewn by hand
-Glued some pieces to the dress
-Didnt clean finish any edges of a fabric that frays....A LOT
-All the sins of cosplay
Let me also add, and I kid you not, this dress took me about 3-5 min to put on.
This dress was pretty bad, the only thing I was proud about was the Gulliver plush I made!! I STILL WORE IT PROUDLY, with a super vibrant pink that did not match and all!! I had a good day at the con and I actually got 2 photos taken!! For a beginner cosplayer at the time woth a really poopy cosplay, I was surprised people were actually taking my pic!! Anyways, when I got home that night, taking the beast off was the best part. I was with my friends and I had to HULK out of the dress....it was too hard to take off!! I was struggling for a bit, then just ripped it off kind of thing! xD So now, this story is the best lesson for me. Its also a great laugh between us xD
If you are REALLY interested in seeing my older cosplays, you cant. :/

The moral of this story: make sure you know how to put on the cosplays you make and use patterns of some sort and zippers and a sewing machine xD
DONE
