The Inner Workings of a Chibi.
Hi! I just saw your princess peach costume! Looks great! Really well done! You are fantastic. I wanted to know, how long did it take you to complete? Also, can we be best friends?

My partner/wifey/sewing mistress makes all of our cosplay.  Looking back, I think Peach may have been the easiest dress since I also have Tiana and a fancy Belle.  Oh man, poor Peach though, it’s such an old cosplay and she wants to fix it up since I’ve been wearing it so much later.  It was originally made for the Smash Brothers BRAWL launch because I worked at GameStop at the time.

I don’t think it took that long?  Once she gets going she can really get into it.  Usually she’s working on cosplay on her off days, and now that she’s got three day weekends she has more time then she did before.  I just get to be the moral support/stand there and let her put it on/pin things/ect. ect.  I’m more of a painter/woodburner, but sewing?  That’s aaaaall her.  I do remember there were two versions, the midnight launch dress didn’t have the trim at the bottom, then when I started wearing it to cons she added it.  

The funny thing is I was actually considering retiring Peach and wore it one last time back at a con in August?  Hahahahahahaha no, having way too much fun, I forgot how much I loved this cosplay.  Between the cosplay article I wrote from it and asieybarbie’s art, I think I’m going to be “peachy” for a while.  So my wifey wants to fix up the dress now  <3
