[Sieg !VhSiegR26w No.7561756]

Shamelessly selfposting because this is my first cosplay in years and I made it in like 2 days. I wore it at Wondercon. Can't wait til the Valyrian Steel sheath comes out, because mine was balls and made things heavy, unbalanced, and pull at everything. Also because it's been so long since I've cosplayed, I'm not even sure I've selfposted any cosplay on here.

I was really proud of it because it's real leather and the cape is wool and I pulled it off for less than $200 by haggling and repurposing leather. I learned a lot though, especially about where I need to fix things (get the collar to stand up, find a wool rug to tear apart for cape, curling iron is a must, don't wear it when it's not winter, etc).

But yeah, I loved wearing it so I'm mega stoked for cosplaying again at Fanime... just not gonna wear this, I would probably die.

Eh, I've been in the same fandoms as her for a while. She was a huge ass bitch in the Doctor Who fandom, talking down to girls who cosplayed the same person as her (and usually better) while talking about how she was the best. Constantly shoving her screen accurate items in your face, even if you're wearing them, too.

She's better with the Game of Thrones fandom, I noticed. I messaged her about something with her Blackwater progress photos not realizing it was her and she was surprisingly nice about it.

And now I laugh because karma caught up with her and she gained a shit ton of weight. So much for being ~~perfect~~

tl;dr, she's been really snotty in her other fandoms making her not well liked.

[Anonymous No.7570082]

>>7569822
She's grown up. People do that. I used to think she was a huge snob too when I was in the DW fandom, but I think it was more that she didn't know how to relate to other people, and we have become friendly acquaintances. But I don't think she's a terrible person or anything like that, and she is a really talented seamstress. She sews incredibly fast, too. I don't blame people for holding their first impressions of her against her, but you know, she really never has claimed she looks anything like Sansa, she just really loves her character. And she's currently losing weight, so it's not like she's happy with her size either.

Person you've quoted here. She's been really rude to my friends, so she's left a bad taste in my mouth. Though if she has grown up, feel a bit bad for her. I know the DW fandom still hates her. Heard she was pretty rude at Dragon*Con last year as well, though. Made some snarky remarks to my friend who was cosplaying Margaery.

That being said, I don't find her that talented, either. She's alright. Sure, she may sew fast but I think she lost a bit of the details.

Like I said, I don't hold anything against anyone who still doesn't like her, she was rude. Just because a person has changed doesn't mean you have to forgive them. But I've just noticed personally that she has been making an effort lately to be nicer, and admitting she has been bitchy in the past because she has problems interacting with people she doesn't know.

[Anonymous No.7570177]

>>7570094
I've ran into her at a couple cons and never heard her insult a cosplayer once. Friended her on Facebook and yeah, she is really oddly obsessed with the exact brand, color and style of what characters are wearing (which I'm sure no one notices but her) but that's a level of dedication I've only ever seen her require from herself. I agree that she should have worn makeup in the wedding dress, but Sansa obviously wasn't wearing any with her pink dress. And yeah, her face/body is kinda soft but barely what I'd call "large". Her body as a definition of "fat" is absolutely ridiculous.

These are definitely statements from my friends, some of which who have been somewhat close to her before. I've never met her personally, but as I said, that's just left a distaste in my mouth. It's also widely acknowledged in the DW community that she does this, which is a shame if what >>7570106 says is true and she's making an effort to be nicer.


Also, slightly OT, but the screen accurate stuff is pretty big in the DW fandom. People do notice.

As someone who just visited the GoT exhibit, I, for one, am impressed by how she got such a close (or exact?) fabric to the actual gown. I think the dress isn't sewn totally accurately, though. It has princess seams all the way down, not some floating panel in the front, right?

[Anonymous No.7571049]

Ah, no. All of her gowns have that fold-over and tie, even the wedding gown. One thing the show is amazingly good at is maintaining a standard 'look' and basic staple pattern for each region.

[Anonymous No.7571278]

>>7569388
P sure it's just because she's fat. /cgl/ is intense about that to the point that you can be 99% accurate with great materials and excellent quality and still turn off most of the board if you're fat. It's just too bad, since her costumes look great. She should take commissions if she doesn't already.

It's intentionally a separate piece. You can see the seam continue just under the panel.

[Anonymous No.7571326]

It's off by a bit but lining up that kind of pattern on that kind of dress if really hard because the angles change the width of the stripe. They did really well as it is getting so close.

[Anonymous No.7571361]

idk even the best costumers in the business get to the point where they have forty things to do and deadlines to meet and the pattern being off by a couple millimetres doesn't matter so much in the scale of things. Particularly when from the looks of it they would of had to cut a whole new panel for that to correctly match up without warping.

[Anonymous No.7571377]

I noticed that about Quaithe's seams too. Hmm.

[Anonymous No.7571412]

>>7571361
Well that's kind of what makes someone a professional... Especially when costumes are going to be on tour in a museum and I am hoping they are making close to six figures if not over that? I guess it's just not something I would expect from a master craftsman. Though I am guessing that the embroiderer was a different person than the actual costumer. Considering the amount of detail in the embroidery (which is all hand sewn) I wouldn't expect that they would cut corners on matching patterns across a seam after putting that many hours into the embroidery. And yeah, even such a small difference is really noticeable when its a straight line pattern across the three panels. Obviously the work is fantastic but that's just something my eye kind of fastened on. I don't think that it's a good excuse to say that they had a lot of projects, that's kind of their professional career, not a hobby where they are hot gluing gems onto a bodice three hours before a con, lol.

I could understand a warlock (or whatever she's considered) not having a perfect garment to fit the character and cause kind of an imbalance to maybe give the viewer a sense of 'something's kind of off', but the wedding dress... eh I wish I could even come close to that kind of work though!

You're not alone in that. Honestly, it made me wonder if maybe it was even intentional, since Sansa isn't considered "worthy" of a Lannister except for her inheritance, even a defective Lannister, and they wouldn't want to spend money on the *best* clothes for her, just almost the best.

It probably wasn't, but I'm going to pretend that was the case so I don't fixate on it as much.

Well, they do at least put some kind of thought into the garments. Like with the Purple Wedding- Joffery's crown was symbolic of Margaery slowly wrapping her fingers around him, for example.

[Anonymous No.7572679]

>>7569388
I don't mind that she's fat- most of /cgl/ is- I mind that she's fucking hideous and doesn't look anything like Sansa. Sansa Stark is, for all intents and purposes, vain, shallow, and conceited. If she chooses a character who cares about the vainer things in life (at least for a while) then she herself needs to take pride in her appearance when cosplaying that character and work with some makeup.

Sansa Stark is supposed to be a natural beauty with thick red locks and Tully blue eyes. Pic related looks like she rolled out of bed and threw on her wig and dress- she could do a lot better with makeup, but in all reality she's never going to be a great fit for Sansa because her face isn't sharp enough and she's fat. But those are just nitpicks.

[Anonymous No.7572681]

I probably won't get much of an answer, but does anyone have any examples of really, really good and complicated outfits?
Most of the stuff I see is halfassed, like pic related. I don't expect much, given that kind of stuff requires skill and money, but maybe there's at least one diamond in the rough?

[Anonymous No.7572701]

>>7572646
>>7572656
Indeed. And Margaery's gown was intended to be a symbolic "don't touch me". The bodice was covered in sharp "thorn" beads between the roses, as if to keep Joffrey's hands off of her entirely.

Same for all of the other gowns though, too. You don't see it in the show because of lighting and movement, but almost every garment has embroidery pertaining to the wearer's house and moods. So Cersei's always covered in lions (because she hated Robert so much, she won't wear his any more), while Catelyn's dresses had fish AND direwolves.

http://www.michelecarragherembroidery.com/Sansas-Wedding-Dress-Gallery(2880131).htm

I wish there was more information about the full garments, because this site belongs to the embroiderer and mostly talks about that.

[Anonymous No.7572707]

>>7572640
I feel like it's intentional (for instance, it doesn't line up on either side, rather than just one) but more in symbolism than something like the Lannisters wouldn't have given as much consideration into a piece of crap like Sansa. For me, it seems more likely that the detachment represents how she'll never be a perfect Lannister, just like how the red represents the Lannister's creeping influence on her. The use of symbolism more than realism seems more common in the garments (from what I've read on the designer's blog) so I feel this would be the case - that the costume design is meta design. I think it also looks good from an aesthetic perspective because it emphasises a layering effect.

I know she's trying to stay as true to the character as possible, but with a little make up and a bit of altering to the wig to fit her face shape (and actually arching all the way across the back, not just the top) it would make her look better.

Also, she needs some sort of breast boost fast. That would make her look younger

no it was how thick your neck looks and the softness of your shoulder leading to your bicep. I think Melisandre is a good choice. You have a really pretty mature face for her. Shae has like, an exotic, alien like face and yes, she's tiny.

It's not me in the photos, so I can't answer that... Sorry!
I was just blown away by how well they were pulled off. The cosplayer has a facebook page, though so she might've answered the wig question on her facebook. Just look up Courtoon.
