K.K. @ TorCH Iloilo 2016

It really pays to give the costume a test run before debuting it on an event/shoot. The first time I wore my KK costume, I didn't have any idea how it would look like and while it didn't really turn out bad, there are some factors I haven't taken note of that needs to be anticipated.

TorCh(Tournament of Champions) Iloilo is a local cosplay event/competition in the city that took place last August 6. 2016 and I finally got the the opportunity to wear my KK cosplay again. After a few repairs and maintenance check, I'm really happy because of some improvements since the last time I wore it.

Some general tips for fellow costume-maker beginners

Stuff I wish I knew from the start...

Cosplay Craze RWBY feels & meeting new friends

With the recent RWBY season 3 finale still fresh in my mind, this event has been quite an experience for me. I love the series so much and despite its popularity, it's quite uncommon to find such devoted fans right here in the area so seeing so many people getting excited over RWBY cosplays made me so proud to be a part of the RWBY community.

Yang Xiao Long - RWBY Cosplay Worklog

This has been long overdue. I've been meaning to post this earlier but I've been pretty distracted with a lot of stuff. Yang has been the most complicated costume I've made so far with it's many pieces and intricate design. I had to learn a lot of new skills along the way but it had been quite a learning journey and I feel really achieved being able to complete this project.

Non-stretch boot cover tutorial / worklog

Another boot cover for my Yang Xiao Long Cosplay. I actually intended to buy a pair from a bargain shop but I couldn't find anything close and cheap enough so it's time for another DIY project.

Materials:

• a pair of non-wedge, heeled shoes(non heeled shoes will work as well but this tutorial will be working on a heeled one)
• socks
• non-stretch fabric
• interfacing
• 2 separating zippers
• snap buttons(the one where you can sew in)
