Artist's Comments

This is my Rozalin costume. The costume I'm so damned proud of. It took many hours of work... probably about 100. I had some help for adjustments, as I don't have a dress manikin.

I tried to style the wig myself. That didn't work out too well. I will be commissioning a wig from a capable cosplay wig maker when I find one. If you're interested in crafting a wig for this costume, please send me a note with your prices and/or requests for further references. I have the hair accessory made already.

Materials:

Gems - polyester resin
Jewelery - polyurethane resin
Paint - Liquidex Bright Gold Acrylic
Yellow and red fabric - crepe satin
Black fabric - polyester satin
White fabric - muslin
Bow bases - fusible fleece

Total cost: $650

This costume isn't quite complete, yet. I still need ears, red contacts, wings, and most importantly, a new wig.

Oh yes, and a link to a reference picture: [link]

Yes, many think her dress has maroon, and not red, but most of the official art's lighting is blue, some art has it red, I couldn't find maroon crepe satin (I wanted the yellow and red to be the same fabric), and red looks far more regal than maroon.

Any questions as to how I created anything on this costume? Well, note me if you have any.

This shows that you have wonderful skills in costuming. You've obviously given this a *lot* of work, and you've done a wonderful job!

Excellent piece. And you look great wearing it! :D

Are you going to Comic-Con? If so, I hope to see you there!

Except for the wig, it turned out pretty damn good.

You may want to consider revising it if you ever find some maroon though; I think it would give it a more regal look. However, it still looks great as-is. Good work - I know how much time you put into this project. It shows.

I am NOT revising it with maroon. XD The fabric is too delicate to seem rip and the length of the red ruffle before being gathered is over 17 feet long. It took four hours to get it pinned to the dress and another two days to get it sewn to the dress. >_>

Oh yes, but thanks though. ^_^

I might go for a day. Four day passes are sold out, so I don't know...

Who do you get to take your photos, girl? They look so good! (Mine always look like they were taken in a cave...XD)
Great work! The jewelry is peachy :D Certainly an ambitious cosplay, and I can see why you said your costume made you cranky. That would be HARD to move around LBCC!

Well, I didn't pick where the photos were taken. The photographers all dragged me places. ^_^;

Yeah, the black, red, and yellow part of the dress alone weighed about seven pounds. It caused the waistband of the hoop skirt to dig into my hips and leave nice indentations that wouldn't go away for like a day. The gold shoes I wore on Saturday practically killed my feet....It was so bad I nearly collapsed cuz they just wouldn't carry me anymore. Thankfully, I wore my more comfortable black high heels on Monday. @_@

Thanks, though. I'm so proud of this costume. It was a nightmare. x_X

Did you hire your photographers, or were they just free-ranging around the con and found you?
