Carbon Costume

…story. To replicate it you will need to buy a plain orange hockey jersey and then use white fabric to add the band around the abdomen and the smaller bands around the arms. J.P.’s tan jeans will also require a little bit of DIY since his rough and tumblr brand of fun has worn a hole in the right knee and left them a bit dirty. Once that hole is in place, though, your outfit just needs a pair of black sneakers to be complete!…

…g noteworthy. And his brown hair is styled with a simple side-sweep. His only visible accessory is a brown leather shoulder bag. But the bag isn’t as important as what’s inside. To really complete a Zemo costume you need the red notebook that contains the code words that give you control of the Winter Soldier. You can also get a copy of Mission Report: December 16th 1991 if you want to add a bit more to the bag. Of course this costume also makes i…

…ll, he’s tough enough without having to put on a show about it! Unfortunately his hoodie is as unique as he is which means it takes a little bit of DIY to recreat. Start with a green zip up hoodie and some yellow fabric paint. The Soft fabric paint is a great choice because it keeps your garment soft and flexible rather than making it go stiff. Use this to paint a yellow stripe from the from of the hood all the way back to the neck seam. Then use…

…l seeking revenge for (though if you’re reading the manga, that’s become a bit tricky lately). While the color changes a bit between different seasons and OVAs, his hair is usually a blueish grey in color, and he has one vibrant blue eye, with the other one hidden behind his usual eyepatch being a deep royal purple, the Faustian contract he shares with Sebastian overlaid on it. Ciel has several outfits throughout the series, but this one in partic…

…by Catherine Fisher, was, well, sexy af. She took aim at us with her sparkly red blaster but missed. Honorable mention. This Doctor Strange genderbend, called Lady Strange by Audry Design, was every bit as mystical. This Golden Eagle Wonder-Woman cosplay by Liz McFarland dazzled us with its retractable golden wings.

…att: “It’s a wonderful sense to get in character. In the show, we were really really adamant that before we even got to the rehearsal process, that every one of our actors knew what it was like to put on the different clothes, to have the staffs, to have the tight pants and the quiver and the bow across their back. Cosplay has this wonderful sense of getting you into the feeling of the world, immersing yourself further into a made up world. It’s r…

…tual size” instead of “fit to printable area”. I found the helmets to be a bit snug, especially considering the width of the foam (I used 8mm), so you may consider choosing the third option under “actual size” and putting in a quantity of over 100 (115-120 would be my recommendation), as per your measurements. If you do this, you will need to also select “tabloid” from the paper size drop-down menu. In order to print tabloid-size paper, you may ne…

…think it’s okay to repeat a costume? Well, if you’re Elvira, it’s definitely totally okay to repeat that every year – I certainly do. Once you wear black, you’ll never go back! You’ll have so much fun dressed like that. Don’t go crazy and wear it for 36 years, but a couple years wouldn’t hurt. Do you have any predictions for which costumes are going to be super popular this year? This is really odd, but this year I just heard from Ruby’s Costumes…

…is isn’t required. THE STAR: ***Iron On: If you choose this version, I HIGHLY recommend you apply your iron on’s BEFORE you sew your pink sleeve on!!! Create your star graphic in a digital image generator/find an image online and size to be large enough for your suit. I created my graphics on Adobe illustrator rather simply by just using the star tool. Cut out your star pieces. Take the front piece, and peel off the protective backing With your ju…

…wide your kilt needs to be. As for the length of your kilt, that’s relatively easy. The length will ideally be half the width of the fabric you’re using. (Most fabric is between 45 and 60 inches.) For instance, the kilt I made was from fabric that was 45 inches long, therefore the length of the kilt is roughly 22.5 inches long. However, you will not be cutting your fabric at all, as that length will be doubled-over in a later step. Step Five: Now…
