/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Okay somebody here has to have made or thought of an Elsa bodice by now. I'm trying to plan out how I'm going to do those flake scale things, like im making the corset top but what/how will i cover it with... I'm doing research here but there so many god damn options I just get tired

I'm specifically looking for a method that will have longevity, (I'm nervous about using just glue like i've seen some ppl do, l like the idea of beads but i'm a little hung up over the holes showing gls;jf,sl) i need it to be able to handle a very gentle hand washing every once a while

Fucking detailed HD CGI bullshit. Anyway, any recs for materials? Can anyone attest to the durability of sequin/sequin sheets? Like will the paint rub off are they even painted i have no idea im going crazy
