Kida Cosplay: Atlantis the Lost Empire

Why do only super skinny chicks get to cosplay the characters that show some skin?

I noticed this at MegaCon when I saw this dazzling girl dressed up as slave princess Leia in her aura of confidence and smiles; yeah. I was jealous. and yeah. I didn't like it. So I though "Psh, I could do that too", but then looked at my body and immediately thought otherwise.
Making my Kida cosplay was a journey of, welp.. I'll make it and not wear it, or I'll develop the confidence over time. The second one won out. But, I didn't do it for the attention or to show off my body at a con, I just did it to prove to myself that my body isn't this horrendous, fat blob I make it out to be, because I know I'm not fat and put myself down more than I need to.   
So I got to work and finished my cosplay. Yeah, I'll say I did work out for a solid two weeks, ate no sugar, and had super healthy meals (with veggies!), but refused to weigh myself, I wanted to be happy with how I looked. I know, this goes against what I just said, but I was never gonna be completely content with myself unless I actually tried to make my body better. So I did. I lost a bit, not very noticably, but to me it made all the difference knowing I put forth effort.

My results were nowhere near hers, but I switched a few things in the exercise and I was happy :)
So here's the results of everything, my sewing, my working out, and my confidence!

By the way, this took place in SwampCon at the University of Florida.

So go out there and have fun!

 

Laki Olietta Cosplay

This is the first cosplay I've made for myself! It's Laki Olietta from the Fairy Tail anime. She's one of the minor characters, but she's so sweet and I've never seen anyone do a cosplay of her either!
The first picture is at a japanese school event right before Megacon and the second is right after making the cosplay :)

I made everything at home (except for the wig :P) and was SUPER excited to show it off at Megacon ♥ Any suggestions? & I'm willing to make other people the costume as well, just ask :)

New 52 Catwoman Cowl

I made this cowl for my friend, it's the first cosplay thing I've made! She's helped me so much in starting to put my name out there, so thank you Veronika :) This is her at Megacon playing the new 52 catwoman. 


 

Front

This Catwoman cowl is from the new 52 series; it buckles at the neck, goes around the face and forehead, fits snuggly (no lose space anywhere!) and has hollow ears to put your hair in.

Side

It's made out of pleather and ready to go for Megacon in March ;)

If you have any questions or would like one, just e-mail me or leave a comment!

 I can custom make them to different sizes and add different features for your personal preference or comfort :)
