Heart no Kuni cosplay

Because I forgot to do a post about MCM expo Oct 2013, I figured I do one about

Harrie, Harriet's and Bal's wonderful Heart no Kuni cosplay!

First off, we were all very excited to see Bal's Vivaldi dress

Her dress is gorgeous and she made every last bit herself from the ruffling round the edge to the string of sequins sewn around the hearts. The wig as well was immaculately styled by Bal too! 

Next up is Harriet, who had her cosplay commissioned by a local seamstress. 

There was a bit of a fiasco because the seamstress got ill a few weeks before Expo, so the dress was longer than it should have been! But luckily Lucy, Katie and Mollie managed to fix it up!

Harriet made such a cutie Alice! 

And the final piece to the group was Harrie as Blood!

So bishie it hurts!

She made a fabulous Blood. Her outfit was made using a plain suit. Then bias was all hand sewn on, along with cut out card suits to put on the bias. 

So here are some of the pictures from the shooting of the trio!

Off with his head

Rikku wig styling tutorial

Well I'm not sure if you can call this a proper tutorial. More of a really detailed styling!

I filmed most of my styling so that if you are thinking about doing Rikku's wig, you can learn about some of the things that need to be done to the wig. 

Rikku's wig was really fun to style. I basically cut wefts from the second pony tail and braided them, sewed the braids together and pinned everything into place. It's not as hard as it looks unless you want it 100% accurate. 

Who knows how many braids or beads Rikku really has hidden under all that hair...

The video, because I can't find it on the blogger video search :(

LwL's October progress!

Thought I should post LWL's progress for our October cosplays!!

Bal's Vivaldi progress:

I know she's cut out all the fabric, but what she has pics of is:

Her wig!

Dat beautiful crown

Fabric and pattern

I've seen her cut out all her fabric now. The skirt fabric alone weighs so much! Almost like big fat gypsy wedding at this rate; she's gonna need hip padding!! 

Charley is doing Nausicaa and Lettie from Howl's moving castle. So far she's only posted Lettie's progress pics, although I know she's done some of nausicaas!

Such a lovely shade of pink

many patterns and fabric @__@

Not sure what other Harrie is up to, but Harriet almost has all her Alice cosplay ready!

She is just waiting for the dress. Here is her wig, shoes and socks.

So I will post more progress as more gets done. Let's hope everyone finishes in time for MCM October Expo. Not sure if I will!!

Ciao
