Hey everyone! I’ve entered my Princess Tiana cosplay in a cosplay competition. This is the first time I’ve done something like this :) If you like my Tiana cosplay, feel free to head over and give it a like/vote. Thanks a lot, everyone :)
You know what, ladies? Sometimes, the princess just has to save herself.

More shots of the Beauty and the Beast Jim Shore cosplay I made for myself and my wifey! The library shots are at Anime Iowa, while the kiss is from Anime Central in the Disney group.
Oddly enough, these are the first dresses where I experimented with making the outfits out of quilter’s cotton so that I could get the patterns to match the Jim Shore statues. Belle’s dress is a combination of different dress patterns I had (I think about 3) while Beast’s outfit is an altered Uncle Sam costume, lol.
I can’t make clothing patterns myself, so instead I Frankenstein different patterns together to get all the pieces I want, then tailor it to each of our bodies.
Any questions about the cosplay? What do you guys think?
The Belle dress :)
All right, I have a cosplay page now :) I thought about it and decided it would be a good idea, since I’m cosplaying more often now and I want to give my partner some exposure (she makes aaaaaall of my costumes, so if you’re looking for a plus sized friendly costume maker, she’s a good person to go to).
Anyhow, it’s definitely a race, gender, sexuality, size friendly page. And uh, yeah, you can see my costumes and stuff ^^;;;

SUBMISSION
I love to see a larger, Black woman cosplaying anything. It’s like we don’t exist in the world of make believe. I was doubly thrilled to see that she had her own sexy, high heel-wearing Beast, too!
Reblogging for the comment above. I’m a plus sized black cosplayer who comes equipped with her own sexy Beast ^^ A sexy Beast who knows how to sew!
The sword is coming along nicely! I think I’m going to try and paint the details tomorrow if there’s time. If Princess Tiana had a sword, I’d like to imagine that it would look like this ^^ Or at least it’s in the process of looking the way she would have it?
Ummm… hey everyone who stumbled over to my tumblr from my wifey’s page
Since a lot of you seem to like the Belle dress I’ve made for her, I thought I’d share a close up of the handpainted panel from the front of the dress. This is what it looked like before I sewed it in.
So yeah, my tumblr is going to be full of progress pictures and crafty things and all of that. Feel free to poke me for sewing stuff. I’m not an expert but if I don’t know it, I’ll find out someone who does and point you in the right direction… or something… ^_^;;;;;
(I didn’t expect this to get so popular!, still adjusting!)
This is my wifey/costume maker’s tumblr :) This is a picture of the Belle dress front panel before she sewed it. She actually printed out this huge picture, taped it all together, traced around it and then drew the rest and painted it. So this is hand done. I’m super lucky she’s so patient with the cosplay I want :) She’s getting into doing commissions more, which is great! We need more plus size positive costume makers :)
And randomly, hello new followers, somehow I’ve over 400 in the span of about three days O.o Hi!
O.K. I’m getting a bit flustered those cosplay pictures are getting a lot of notes and I’m getting a bunch of followers. You all are amazing people and now I’m just going to have to remember to post cosplay more often :)
I woke up this morning to a message from tumblr saying that I got 18 new followers in one day. Seriously guys, wow! And um… hi? I hope my blog doesn’t disappoint you (it probably will) and that I’m not too much of a spaz (I will be).
Also, here’s another sword progress picture. We’ve sprayed it with silver spray paint and it’s coming along nicely. The leaves will be green and the hilt will have fabric around it so it looks like a hilt. I’m also going to paint the blade for more details, ect. All and all, armored Tiana is coming along nicely ^^
Uh… wow, yeah. So it looks like I got a bunch of new followers, so I should start posting cosplay progress pictures huh? This is a new idea for my Princess Tiana cosplay: Armored Princess Tiana! The two sketches were done by my partner snowtigra, and now she’s working on making the sword and the armor. This is all going to be done with craft foam, hot glue, and paint. I get to help with the painting part, which should be fun :)
Oh, and in case you want more frequent updates, this is my cosplay page ^^
