So many thanks to the fantastic Elemental ([link]) for doing this shoot with me! It was ridiculous fun and you are the best :heart:

Costume: God Tier Rose Lalonde, the Seer of Light
Series: Homestuck

Man, I am still ridiculously happy with how this costume turned out!! :D The response so far has been more than I ever expected.

Main body of the dress is made of this... to be quite honest I'm not sure exactly what it is. Some sort of polyester/spandex thing. I found it in the bargain section of a fabricland and yoinked all they had left. I love the colour and how well it's been able to drape! The brighter orange is all a stretch twill. All patterns were drafted. The entire costume was hemmed using an embroidery stitch on my machine to add a little more detail to the costume.

The applique was definitely the hardest part of this costume. All fabric pieces itself I made one stencil for and cut the rest out of those to ensure they were all the same, and they were bonded to the costume with heat n'bond. Then, I hand-stitched around all the pieces with a slightly contrasting embroidery thread. I'm so happy it turned out nice and not hokey XD

Thanks for looking!

Oh it's definitely not velour XD I do know that much. I think it's a type of soft spandex? But thanks! =)
