How about a character tips thread /cgl/?

What's a good thing to tell someone who's making a costume you made in the past?

>for mami: use a gored skirt pattern instead of a circle skirt, it'll give you more ruffle-age

If possible, try hitting up JoAnn's during their $1 pattern sales. Simplicity has a bunch of costume patterns with puffy sleeves.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 8 14:34:31 2013 No.6754009 o.O But a gored skirt will want to hang, instead of floating like Mami's does. Pics of this marvelous idea of yours? I'm skeptical.

I'll have to agree, horsehair braid will give it nice ruffles if you gather it and will hold them up as well, and combining with a petti could give it extra poof if needed.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 01:13:20 2013 No.6757823 >>6752781 You can gather a circle skirt...

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 01:19:49 2013 No.6757834 >>6752781 If by "ruffle-age" you mean hem circumference, a circle skirt gives you the maximum hem, not an A-lined skirt. A proper circle skirt with reinforced hem (i.e. with horsehair braid) that has no gathering at the waist is better.

Whenever I have a pattern with regular sleeves and I need large, puffy sleeves, I just use this tutorial.

It works surprisingly well and I can use the same pattern again and again, altering it when I need to.

Yuna's skirt has a very specific pleat
Her sleeves are not the same shade of white as her top
The vines on her skirt are a very light shade of green on the FMV model. It's almost white, but not quite.
To sew her top you have to pattern out a U shape that is thinner at the curve and wider at the ends.
On her left hand she has two silver bracelets and a pinky ring.
On her left she has a ring on her middle finger

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 19:17:53 2013 No.6759469 >>6759461 But you can clearly see the inverted pleat in >>6757972.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 22:25:22 2013 No.6759795 >>6757957 Wow thanks for pointing that out. I don't plan to cosplay Yuna for a while but this really helps.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 22:40:52 2013 No.6759815 >>6757957 I have that reference! After looking high and low on the interwebz when I was a noob, the cosplay really intimidated me, so for now I put it away. But thanks for the resources and tips. I'll definitely use it in the future.
