/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Mother Gothel from Tangled, first worn at ALA 2013.

I used a cheap poly brocade from Fabrics R Us (NorCal kids, you know what I'm talking about- 4 bucks a yard, yeeeaaah!), then splurged on the sleeve lining fabric- cotton/poly brocade. I mostly followed a pattern (can't remember offhand which one), that I altered slightly for sleeve length and neckline.

The wig wasn't really a challenge since it was essentially "open wig bag, put wig on head." Props-wise I had just a basket, but it was sure handy to have somewhere to put all of my shit.

The whole thing was very straightforward. It's not as well fitted as I would have liked, but that's my own fault for not being more careful. It's a ton of fun to wear because I've never cosplayed a villain before.
