So making first steps on the Don't hug me I'm scared Notepad dress. This is probably the costume I'm most excited for, and ironically will be the least recognizeable. But right now I don't care because I LOVE this design so much. And it's from an artist I loooove, and have been watching for over a year now. I don't even fucking use tumblr but I go on just for her
For those that don't recall, this bridal beauty. I'm not even necessarilly part of the fandom, I don't mind it one bit. I actually cosplay on more of a design and visual calling more than really a relation factor to a character. Not that I don't like this dhmis video, I love it actually. But it's just I heard about it from Mookie000 and the love of her design. And she's the only reason I watched the fucking thing.
Besides psychology and learning techniques. Onto cosplay WIP!
I decided to use this dress I had in my closet, never wore, ironically I bought it cause it fit. And I didn't want to sacrifice it to become a meat dress. That feeling is gone now though and it will become something better!
As you can see the fit is more of a frock than a ballgown. I'm moving the waist up from the design to fit my body type better. Because honestly I got some pudge, I'm not embarrassed to show it off. I wore a hillbilly crop top just a few days ago because of a heatwave. I just know based on my height they don't sell formfitting, nonslutty cute white dress, for petite girls with pudge in their tits and ass. That's a fact. I've checked.
SO WE ARE IMPROVISING TO BE CHIBI. Here I also hated the spaghetti straps, they were actually painful because they couldn't handle holding up my tits in certain lesbian wedding gay club parades. So I did what I've been wanting to do forever. I took the weird ribbon in the back and turned them into straps
First successfull run on the sewing machine! I can't sew straight but I don't care! I'm learning!
Also took the small ribbons in the front off, can't really see here, but they are gone
And here I'm also adjusting, since limited room, the tuxedoish part at the waist. Gonna try and disguise the double waist cinch thing with the folding. Here's a size ref from some earrings (given to lulu) just to figure out where the buttons would go.
Also props for stealing cloth napkins (accidentally) from work three days in row. One will go to cosplay as a lovely reminder of my first job. I'll return the rest I promise. Will figure out a way to fold these more neatly but here's for reference of future.
Next will be the black sides, and the real buttons. And maybe soon the fun part of the rag skirt! (really looking forward to that part)
UPDATE: Small sketches to better explain my idea. Chibi with frock sort of waistline to the left, move up of tuxedo part on the right. I'm opting out of the middle fold, but it was sharpie so can't really redo anymore
Did you know mookie designed purple veins on the boots and gloves? I didn't! Fabric paint I'm awaiting you honey
Oh jesus got to figure out that pencil headpiece. It came to me once in a fever dream and left me forever
