Babydoll Cosplay

A couple years ago my gorgeous friend Gen asked me to make a Babydoll cosplay to wear at Toronto Comicon. Instead of her battle outfit which is the most commonly cosplayed look of hers, Gen wanted her institution outfit that she wears when she’s not in her fantasy land. I absolutely loved making this dress! It has a cute, sailor style collar and side pleating on the skirt. It buttons up and has a long exaggerated tie. Gen totally rocked this look and I love the way it fits her!

He-Man Pinup Dress

One day last year my friend and performance partner Meryle Trouble came to me with a vintage He-Man bedsheet and an idea for the ultimate nerdy, pinup girl dress. In constructing this look I was very careful with the placement of the pattern. The skirt in the back and front showcases He-man battling Skeletor with Teela standing by. For the top of the dress I put the castle front and centre, and on the back the characters Stratos and Zodac are featured. Just for a bit of fun I also added some wristbands with planets from the print to finish the look!

Filthy Lannisters

Let’s start this week off Westeros style, with some sensual, filthy Lannister family portraits!

About this time last year my friend Meryle Trouble and I performed an act with the Underground Peepshow for their Dungeons, Dragons and Damzels show. We performed as the Lannisters, Cersei and Jamie, to the song ‘Love is Strange’ with a very Dirty Dancing inspired routine. I had a fun time making both our costumes for the act, including outer and under garments. These costumes are what I call “Burlesque Cosplay”, which is semi-accurate design with a bit more stage presence and of course easily removable. I love doing Burlesque Cosplay because it brings together two of my favourite hobbies. I admire and respect cosplayers who go for 100% accuracy, but I personally find it way more fun to take a cosplay idea and put my own spin on it, especially a Burlesque spin!
