Muffy's/Molly's dress in the A Wonderful Life remake

The characters' redesigns are pretty straightforward, apart from Molly's which has a pattern on the dress:

Edited to make it more clear:

I've been thinking about how to recreate this for a cosplay and I've got some suggestions

Custom printing

If you digitally lift the pattern from the images, you could probably get it custom printed. I've never done it myself so I can't be sure you'd be able to get the fade from black to red, but there are many different businesses that offer this service so it's worth looking into. This is it's likely to be expensive however, and the process of copying such an intricate pattern would be pretty tedious.

Lace

You could make the dress from a normal red fabric and layer mesh lace fabric with a similar pattern over the top. I already found some here on Etsy, but if you find a similar pattern in white or red you could dip dye it to make the gradient. The main drawbacks here are that the design won't match the game exactly, and even if you dyed it the pattern would still be slightly visible at the top of the skirt.

Just don't!

Instead of recreating the pattern, you could buy black-to-red ombre fabric or dip dye your own, as shown in this tutorial. While this wouldn't be as accurate it would still look faithful to the game, and be much easier!

Stencil?

Unfortunately I don't think it would be possible to screen print or hand draw such a complicated design, although it might be possible to make a stencil if you have access to a laser cutter? That's just a guess. That being said you could simplify the pattern, and if you're very careful, paint it onto the fabric yourself.

These are my thoughts and ideas right now, but I will add to this post if anything else comes to mind! Feel free to to comment or send an ask if you have any suggestions or questions ^_^

So apparently Muffy's been renamed to Molly in the upcoming Story of Seasons remake. So if I decide to romance her, well, that'll be a little awkward. XD

The first turnip is ready to harvest! Things are turning around for us already!

I’ve been watching harvest moon (or story of seasons. Whatever) playthroughs and it’s making me nostalgic for My Wife. 12 yr old me would be stoked if she knew it would one day be possible to be in lesbians with muffy
