Princess Serenity Cosplay Overview

Hi there my loves!  Long time no post!

I wanted to share with you all my recent endeavor at a Princess Serenity cosplay.  Now, as usual, I somehow managed to pull this costume together in two days.  I'm starting to realize I only finish cosplays when I need them in the next 36 hours. -_-  I envy those cosplayers that take their time to put together quality costumes instead of my methods: running around like a crazed monkey woman frantically throwing fabric at a mannequin until it somewhat resembles what I have in mind.

(Picture relevant)

H O W  I  C O N T R U C T E D  the  D R E S S: 

I used a white chiffon for the bodice and the draping.  The dress had two layers of draping.  If you're making your own dress, search for a simple empire waist line pattern and you'll be good to go.  A lot of Serenity cosplayers use the Kwik Sew dress pattern here.

The back bow was constructed from a white tulle kind of fabric.  I also decided against adding a long train as this wasn't intended to be a contest costume, I was just wearing it as I walked around the convention.  (Walking around with long trains is murder!  Everyone and their mother will be stepping on them and tripping you.) 

I couldn't find the perfect gold color pearls or fabric for the embellishments, so I ended up painting them both with an Elegant Finish Metallic Paint in champagne gold.  The fabric was originally some teal fabric I had left over from another costume that I ironed onto fusing backing so the fabric wouldn't fray after cutting the circular shapes.  I fixed the golden circles and pearls to the bodice using Tacky Glue, my go-to adhesive for virtually everything.   

These shoulder cuffs were a pain. -_-

For the cuffs, I ended up having to make a spiral frame with stainless steel wire that would would clasp onto my shoulder.  I then rolled up white tulle and began covering the frame, stitching the pieces in place as I went.  

M A K E U P and H A I R : 

So, for the makeup I kept it pretty simple.  Just a primer and BB cream along with some fake eye lashes.  For the crescent moon, I sculpted it out of Sculpey polymer clay, painted it, sealed it, and stuck it to my face with spirit gum. 

For the hair, I used my real blonde for the odangos, and then clipped in the extensions for the pig tails.  I recommend cutting all different length layers into your extensions 'cause that'll help them tangle less.  I also used a faux fringe that I got off eBay for like 5 dollars.  And if you didn't notice, I totally forgot the shoulder cuffs at home. :(

So that was my attempt and Princess Serenity's dress.  Drop me a message or comment if you guys have any questions or need some advice on your own Serenity cosplay! 

PEACE OUT LOVES!
