We’re headed out tomorrow! Can’t wait to be a guest this weekend and see everyone! We’ll have a booth in the vendor hall and will most likely be there when not running a panel or whatever other guest things we’ll be doing :) Feel free to stop by to check out our books, crafts, cosplay, geekery, hugs, and all that jazz <3

I am so inspired by you cosplays. From start to finish, they are amazing. I'm finally trying my hand at creating a cosplay skater dress of Falcon. Still not sure if I'm doing the MCU or comic version, but I want to get started on paper first. How do you start taking a concrete idea and creating your own interpretation?

Hi there! Thank you so much for your message! When I do different interpretations of characters (like Wonder Woman) I usually base it on styles I like to wear. I like wearing ballgowns, so I thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool if I did that?” I love Wonder Woman’s normal outfit, but I knew I wouldn’t feel comfortable in it, and a huge part of having great cosplay (and normal wear) is being in things you’re comfortable in. So I sketched the design to the ballgown, and them my partner made it :) (also known as “the wifey” aka “that woman I met 13 years ago who got me into cosplay in the first place”)

And sometimes I decide to just have some extra fun with the cosplays, like this crazy rainbow make up I did for a “Rainbow Mario”:

And sometimes I decide to be a bit brave and step out of my comfort zone if it’s a design I really like, like pin up stuff. So I decided to do a variation to Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog. I was hesitant at first but when I put everything on and took a pic I was like, “Dayum.”

Accessories really add to things, too, like the top hat and the cane (and I also had a Tiana frog, too ^__^)

Your idea sounds amazing! I would say the comic version may be a bit more fun and colorful for a skater dress, but you can also have some fun with those kick ass wings from the movie. I would say sketch both. Look at reference pictures for skater dresses and just let the inspiration come to you, because it will. When I sketched the ball gown I pretty much looked at pictures and took elements from different ballgowns that I liked, then went with it.

And don’t be afraid to get creative. With the Mario dress, my partner added a little pocket to the dress at the last minute, and she also used a kid’s bedsheet to do the ruffle because we couldn’t find Mario fabric.

Have fun with your cosplay!

Some leisurely Sunday sewing. Getting pretty close to finishing the corset! This is one of those situations when it would probably be cheaper (and far easier) to buy a RTW corset or just got with a boned bodice, but I’m trying to get better at corset making before I tackle Lulu. Hopefully it will also work for classic Wondie when I get around to that! #wonderwoman #haniemohd #dianaprince #dc #dccomics #comicbooks #comicbookcosplay #cosplay #wip #corsets #satin #corsetry

Here for this. So fucking here for this.

Also can we talk about that last gif where she gets hit and has this look like, “Oh, that was cute, sweetie, now I’m going to bash your face in.”

Went to Pride today so I did some rainbow makeup for my Wonder Woman :) It was the first time I tried makeup like this and I pretty much want to do it all the time now <3

So at Colossalcon I got to walk down a runway as Wonder Woman for a fashion show that featured my wifey’s dresses (some of which are in the picture behind me). I’ve never felt so amazing in my life <3 Here’s to more opportunities to show off what my wifey can do!
