DAZCOS US Size Adult Chi Chi Blue Dress Cosplay Costume

Product Information

I did a lot of test rounds at home and was wearing the costume since 6AM that morning without any problems and when it was almost time for me to get on stage (around 3PM) parts started to malfunction, so I got quite stressed thinking "what if something breaks or falls off on stage? So the process you see here happens with at least 3 layers and most of them have to be undercoated in 2-4 different positions so everything can dry well.

To be honest, I couldn't really point out in the design what these were, so I ended up just making small covers to have the effect. Luckily everything went quite well, but I think it was also one of the reasons why I screwed up during the act. The first version of the wings were functioning enough, but not that great, so I hope to improve them soon. View spoiler Hide spoiler I just re-measure myself every once in a while to see if I didn't get a lot fatter or thinner and see if the mannequin is still good. After being happy with the shape and a lot of sanding, I started measuring out where all the details were going to be.But hey, it was my first time I made a helmet, so I just brushed it off and started working on a version 2 from the things I've learned! I also met up with a Roshi at the same convention and he was so completely in-character I couldn't stop laughing. In some of the newer games and media young Chi-Chi's design has more blue-ish green, so I got quite some comments why I didn't go for that color version, but I think this bold green is a lot better. In Chi-Chi's character design most of her hair pieces are quite "square" and I decided I wanted to literally recreate this effect.

I always start out with a paper prototype and if that prototype works out well, I make patterns from them. When the costume was close to finishing I uploaded this teaser to show what I had so far and also to show how the design from the cape and top works View spoiler Hide spoiler the fabric at the top of my shoulders is not visible when wearing the wig and this was also before ironing everything, so pardon the small mess :P. I remember struggling so much with it, while it's actually a joke compared to a lot of other costumes I've made.That way the weight of the cape was on the top, my chest and my back instead of resting on the shoulderplates. I haven't watched Kill La Kill (yet), but I don't see myself doing one of those super-bare transformed outfits if that was what you were trying to say, lol! If I would re-do it, I would make a lot of the parts cleaner, especially the silver details that show some small breakages. I like with Lilith how she comes over as very sexy, but is still quite clothed (she only has bare shoulders).

As an act I decided to do the part with Chi-Chi's first appearance in the series (where she battles a dinosaur) combined with her picking flowers for Goku. Before this costume I've made 4 pairs and each of them fell apart quite quickly, no matter which tutorial I followed to make them. Sorry for this incredibly long post, I hope you guys liked it and I hope to also see you at my next blog! I had quite a hard time finding the right shade of dark blue, but I'm pretty content with how this color turned out!

Seriously, industry-professionals having a Youtube channel that they use to show how they make their amazing stuff are the best! And now let's get to the part how not every idea is a good idea and I sometimes think to myself "why did I even try to make this work"? Which I actually quite like, because it's just after the part where I throw the blade from my helmet. Unfortunately nobody I knew was photographing and I haven't found any pictures of this meetup afterwards. How long the drying process takes depends on the weather, but on a general (quite cold) day in the Netherlands this can take a full day.

Because of all the waiting for drying I was going through, I decided to draw a face on the wighead (also because the wighead was already showing a lot of damages because of the heating shaping I did on it), so eh try to not pay too much attention to it. Definitely looking forward to seeing your Lilith progress too

I'm completely not used to cosplaying cute and shy characters, but what helped was that I was also not 100% comfortable in such a bare costume, even though I was wearing a bodysuit. I got a lot of questions from people asking how I the shoulderplates stay in place because there is nothing it attaches to.
