Bleach Soul Reaper Cosplay Costumes

Soul Reaper Rukia Cosplay Costume
        It seems that all the Bleach Soul Reaper cosplay costumes are in the same pattern except the Taichous’. Hence, there are mainly two types of Soul Reaper uniforms. One is the common member’s clothing, which is in the form of a black piece, namely the mid-sleeve Kimono with a white waistband. This style is simple but shows a powerful feeling, and is forward enough to meet the taste of the people in modern times. On the other hand, dress this kind of cosplay outfit in the show could not only display the special genre of Bleach, but also could show the unique style of yourself in the activity. Each people will show respective image when wearing the same apparel.
        Another one is the bleach Taichou clothes that is composed of the long sleeve Kimono with the white belt plus a white mantle with long or short sleeves, and in addition, there is the corresponding number at the back according to the Bantai, which resents their superior status.

        In a word, the bleach Soul Reaper cosplay clothing symbolizes the particular identity of Sould Reaper. As long as you have it on, you will be recognized as the member. And there are so many soul reapers for your choice; choose your favirite one and then put on his or her accoutrement, you will bring the Soul Reaper into reality. Since, all the garments looks the same, you should make a good preparation for the wig, which will contribute a lot to your bleach cosplay.

late but lucky, collected memories (2)

I already had a pretty good idea as to which fabrics I was going to use for this costume, and bought 75% of my fabrics over the weekend. I didn't want the fabrics to look "shiny" so I stuck with more matte-looking fabrics.

I decided on a maroon/burgundy cotton corduroy for the jacket--I was VERY lucky to have found this in the color I wanted, because cotton corduroy is not a very popular fabric... for obvious reasons.... do you know anyone over the age of 6 that owns anything corduroy? My point exactly. So yes, I was very happy I found this in the correct color. I bought 2-1/2 yards--enough for the jacket and half of the skirt, if you follow the illustration as below.



For some reason I envisioned the vest in silk dupioni; perhaps it was the rendering of the fabric below that I decided to go with the texture of dupioni. I bought a slightly darker gold lining to match so there would be more tones to this gold color.


The top layer of the skirt will be made with linen/cotton in a loose plain weave; the skirt needs to look wrinkled and I went with a loose weave because in the rendered image the skirt seems to have this type of texture. I suppose I just wanted the skirt material to look slightly more "rough" and didn't want to go for a "clean/crisp" look. Pretty sure that didn't really make any sense to any of you readers but at least I tried =_=.


The bow at the back is a polyester satin, which will be doubled (probably) because it needs to hold its shape and look stiff.


Luckily I found mustard-colored velvet ribbon in the exact width I wanted (1") also, who knew? I was worried I'd have to dye this too! Too many hours spent in my bathroom dyeing fabric and trims! I do get to watch a lot of anime during my dyeing time though.

For the pink sash and ascot I plan on finding a satin of some sort. I haven't decided if I will be painting the hat or if I will be covering it with fabric yet (will post about it later).

I still have a lot of work ahead of me as I still haven't found a fake fur for some of the trims on this costume, as well as for the Clockwork Bunny. I will need to finish sewing at least 2 components of this costume by this weekend in order to stay on track! Goodbye social life!

Just be Friends - Luka Megurine

"Just be friends, all we gotta do, JUST BE FRIENDS, It's time to say good bye~"
Seriously, It's kinda an old school but I'm still addicted to this. It's a song by a Vocaloid Program Character "LUKA" (Like Miku Hatsune)

A song about a girl reminiscing those moments when the guy he loved left her and told her that they're better off friends. The song has a VERY addicting beat to it, and the way Luka sang it, you can really feel the song.




 Hmmmm... One day,

I'll cosplay Luka,
and I'll join a singing contest
singing this song. :)) :))

Bleach Dark Rukia Cosplay Costume

Bleach dark Rukia cosplay costume
This is the bleach dark Rukia cosplay costume in the picture, which is made up of long dark red cloak, white long coat and yellow belt, plus the design is totally different from the former one that I have mentioned, namely the beach Rukia Kuchiki white and blue cosplay costume, and this piece shows an dashing looks. It is somewhat bold with unique design.
Cosplay Rukia with this attire must get a completely different feeling in the show. You could not only feel the same as her but also could represent a notable looks in front of other cosplayers, while the fashion and distinctive cosplay would be created by you. When looking at this clothing, it gives me a kind of cool and larruping feeling, and as if there is something magical it radiates.
Bleach Rukia cosplay is suitable for all the fans on the condition that you are not the special one who has much fat or something else, you know what I mean. Of course, if you just want to have fun and express your affection on Rukia and any of you could try this cosplay. So enjoy yourself!

late but lucky, collected memories

So much for my much-desired "break" after Anime Expo (just wanted to bum around at home and finish some games/anime/manga that I put off for the 2 wks prior to AX); I had to start on my next cosplay immediately for an upcoming convention.

I started playing "Alice:Madness Returns" in the middle of June and while I didn't play the first "Alice", I am pretty hooked. Also intrigued by the reinvention of the Alice Liddell character--mental and no-nonsense. That's how I usually like my female heroines (could do with/without the lack of sanity though). Might I also mention that her wardrobe selections in the game changed to match each level's environment, which is damn cool (cool in that the designers bothered to put in the extra effort). For this sequel to "Alice", the player can also download dresses to enhance some of Alice's abilities, and each dress looks like a cosplay waiting to be done...

Which brings me to my first American McGee's Alice cosplay ever--in her "Late But Lucky" dress; this I'm making alongside a plush version of the Clockwork Bunny (if you aren't familiar with the game the C. Bunny is a bomb Alice uses), so I have a lot of work ahead of me...





As with all my cosplays I always start with a sketch :D This one has a lot of components so I had to start patterns very early (started over the weekend). My plan is to finish the first sample (sewn in muslin) before next weekend so it's time to hermit mode again....

Fairy Tail : A Powerful Guild

Fairy Tail is a combat crowded anime with Mages that merge martial arts and lethal magic to destroy their opponents. It displays in a wide variety of different forms, such as gun magic, transmutation magic, card magic, elemental magic, and more.
anime fairy tail
There are many associations within the kingdom but the one the story is mainly centered on is a guild called Fairy Tail, which is a powerful guild that resides in the city of Magnolia. Many legendary wizards began from this guild and to this day their name is known throughout the lands of Fiore.

Bleach Rukia Kuchiki White and Blue Cosplay Dress

I have discussed the Bleach Rukia Kuchiki cosplay costumes in general in the former post. And here I would like to talk something about the certain piece, namely the Rukia cosplay dress. Speaking of this suit, what would you think of?
Actually, this white and blue Rukia dress without sleeves is peculiar to her and we won’t think of anybody else except Rukia. The blue top with the notched lapel and the rest is sepereted by the red line on the chest, which is different from the common pattern. From the top, it looks like a sport wear, but from the rest part it is really a skirt. The figure of Rukia would come to my mind at the exact moment I see this dress.
Rukia is not so pretty or sexy or in good as some of the female characters of Bleach, however she has a special and her glamour is beyond discription, and it seems than there is something magic about her and I cannot help being mad for her. Cosplay bleach Rukia could bring us much meaning and joyment. This apparel is simple, but just because it belongs to the kind, tough, right-minded and the independent girl, Rukia, and then it has an irresistible charm.
