go back
I started cosplaying back in high school and taught myself how to sew. Although it's not something I do that often anymore, my love of dressing up will never die. Below are some costumes and cosplays I've pieced together with handmade and repurposed vintage items~ for Halloween or Anime cons or just cause I feel like it.
Nameless Girl from "Angel's Egg" (1985 film)
(handmade dress + paper mache egg) AnimeNYC 2024
The dress is striped, but I dyed it the night before and it's too bad the stripes didn't really come out how I wanted them to :')
Alice Liddell from "Alice: Madness Returns" (video game)
(handmade dress + apron + necklace - prop knife made by HerosForgeCosplay on etsy) Comiccon 2024
One of the few cosplays I've totally made from scratch more recently...I updated the dress last year and need to take a better photo~

Oak Dweller (my partner) and the Doll from "Blood Tea and Red String" (2006 film by Christiane Cegavske)

These costumes were so fun, it's too bad nobody knew what we were :)
