Hey everyone
So this was my latest cosplay...
As you can see I went more ornate with this one. Alot more effort went into making this cosplay as I had more time to prepare. Most of the main costume was again bought on a budget. I reused the skirt from my previous attempt and bought the shirt for around 5 pound in a charity shop. The under bust corset was the most expensive purchase coming in at around 40 pounds from corsets uk. But enough of the bought stuff right?
The wings were made in the space of 2 days and were surprisingly easy compared to how I imagined it to be.
The main structure was created from plastic pipe you use to hide wiring against walls. Which can be purchased at most hardware stores. not only is it light weight but it is flexible. So if you are clumsy like me and forget the put them down going through doors you wont actually hurt yourself or the wings them self. They were fixed together with standard nuts, bolts and washers so they worked like hinges making the wings were easy to pull up with little force. And part of the left over pipe was used to insure that the cord used to pull up the wings had a path to follow. The cloth is a little weight canvas style fabric which was cut to a diamond shape that fit the wings and then attached at the top and side with cord and with white cable ties on the middle arm.
The harness was literally just the back of a back pack which I cut off all the extra fabric and then put in some eyes and attached the frame on with black cable ties. Added extras like gold chains where sewn onto the back pack to make it look a little less obvious. And the frame was spray pained copper to look more like metal.
The cord was fixed round the waist with a belt buckle fastening to keep the wings up if desired. Otherwise they hung down by your sides as the cord when though hoops which I attached to the sides of my corset so that the cord was easy to find and I wasn't messing around trying to find it.
So that is the wings.....
My make up was simple just golds and browns. The watch parts were bought on Ebay for around 5 pounds for a small bag full so I had more than enough, and they were attached with eye lash glue. which is strong enough to keep them on but easy to remove when wanted. My lips where done with bright red lip stain and they a small amount of gold eye shadow in the middle to achieve a more 3D effect. Finished off with false eyelashes and of course the bright red wig and circlet both from amazon.
So that was my 2nd Cosplay. I hope you found this interesting and if anyone has any questions about the wings or anything else please don't hesitate to ask.
Love to you all.
Jess
