Those who have been here for quite a while, know how much I admire every detail of the Strange costumes and how grateful I am to the costumers for their work. Those who have been here recently may have noticed this too 😅.
To my great regret, now I will not purchase either the original costume for the Doctor Strange figure, or a copy of it. Firstly because I'm not sure that those muscular tits will fit in it, and secondly because then I can spend this money on something that I definitely can't do myself. On Funko Sinister, for example.😌
So I decided to try and make his costume myself. First, because it's complicated but exciting (I'm not a professional sewer, but I'll try. Doctor Who suit, including this white shirt, I made myself, it's not perfect, but I like it). It's a kind of challenge. And secondly, maybe someday I will need the skills to sew this costume for, who knows, maybe for cosplay.😏
What I liked about getting ready for cosplay or historical reconstruction travels before, was how I managed to turn quite ordinary things into an intricate detail of a character's costume. And since I'm on a bit of a budget right now, if you look closely, you'll see that his waistband and boot bands and bracers are just regular boot laces. And I made a metal belt clip from a metal package of a small candle for an aroma lamp😅This is not a fully finished clip yet, I just tried it on whether it would fit or not.
The only major problem I expect is with his boots. I've never sewed shoes before, but if you don't try, you won't succeed. So let's get started!

More lighting experiments with my CW 2003-inspired Anakin and Padme figures. Imagine they are on a secret mission to Ilum, exploring an ice cave, then get snowed in….and 'have' to spend some quality time together. 😉✨

Unfinished Astarion's heads 1/6. The hair needs to be detailed and some mistakes need to be corrected. And of course, pick up a body for him. One of a kind. Not for sale.

After several attempts, I finally have an acceptable Tang Dynasty round collar robe. In blue, which 5000 Years of Chinese Costumes says denotes officials of the eight or ninth rank.
Especially helpful was this article:
The photo of the tan robe from the Nara Shosoin Reposity was the only extant Tang garment that showed garment construction information, like how the arms are attached, that I have been able to find. (And trust me, I've spent months looking at Tang Dynasty costumes online.)
All hand sewn. I still need to work on getting my stitches smaller and more even. And the collar is a bit too large. Hopefully, when he is upgraded to a seveth rank official and gets a new green robe, I will be a better seamstress.
His futou is felt, dampened with water and white craft glue and molded over household items. When dry, it holds its shape.

It's time to show you something beautiful. Sorry, I just can't stop admiring this guy. The body is very heavy, probably twice or more than my other guys, and the quality of the material is very good, as far as I can tell. It is stable and can stand on its own.
I'm starting to get used to all these muscles in my house 😅🙈. Even it would be a pity to hide all this beauty under clothes😌🙈
I was waiting for the opportunity to buy this figure and head since June. 😅Finally!
