My most recent make is this ancient Minoan ensemble! It consists of a tunic (heanos) worn under a flounced wraparound skirt shaped like a double-bladed axe (labrys). Despite how heavy the linen skirt is, the entire outfit is surprisingly easy to move around in. I even waded into the river to rescue a bee!

For the past few months I've been in York at a school for historical costuming! It's incredibly fast-paced but I'm having such a good time. In a 4-month span we're making 3 full clothing ensembles, each from a different era (1880s womenswear, 1830s menswear, and 1970s daywear of choice).

Here is some of the progress on my womenswear look, from undergarment construction toile to the nearly finished piece. It's a polonaise style referenced from a Harper's Bazaar illustration from 1886.

Some handy tips for going outside in historical clothing! ...or not...

Irida/Kai from Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Costume made and worn by me. Photo taken by mizfitpeep on IG at Naka-Kon 2023.

I made costumes from both Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Sun and Moon when those games were new, but I skipped out on cosplaying Sword and Shield (and then later Scarlet and Violet). I thought that I might be done cosplaying Pokémon, but Legends: Arceus had characters and a story that I really enjoyed. I got especially attached to Irida, and so it was an easy decision to cosplay her.

I used nylon spandex as the main material for most of the clothes and for the tops and sides of the sandals. The shorts I purchased but tailored myself. The bag and the obi cord are made of cotton. It was certainly not the ideal choice for the cord, but it was fabric that I already owned, and it needed to match the bag. Inside the bag is a big tube that I made out of foam. The obi, cord, bag, and tails all connect in the back with snaps. It's a decent amount of weight and tension concentrated around my lower back, but the rest of the costume is so comfortable that it's not a problem.

I made the bangles, the anklet, and the necklace basically as pillows. They are made from vinyl, sewn together, and stuffed with fiberfill. I painted the designs on them with fabric paint. The pearls are tennis balls that I painted and glued into holes that I left in the vinyl. There is one pearl in each bangle and one in the necklace, and there is also one half-pearl on the back of each sandal.

I had two props for this costume. My Celestica Flute is simply a piece of pvc pipe that I cut to length, cut a hole in the side of, and painted to make matte. My Glaceon is an official plush from Pokémon Center.

The base wig that I used is an Arda Lulu in Ash Blonde. I made the bangs and sides using wefts in Ash Blonde for the darker parts and Titanium Blonde for the lighter parts. Styling the wig was by far the most challenging part of the costume, and I'm proud of the work that I put into it. The tiara on top I simply cut out of foam, painted, and then glued to the wig.

How to put on a Minoan wrap skirt! It's...pretty straightforward. If you can wear a towel, you can wear this! You can just tie the belt without rolling down the top (or just roll without the belt) but I think this gives more security and the added bulk around the hips matches Minoan figurines and makes the waist look smaller proportionally. Most of our remaining frescoes are from Thera and therefore may or may not be representative of how these garments were worn in the rest of the Minoan hegemony.

Eventually I'll put together some more in-depth posts but I do have a full time job so it'll take a little while. I'll be posting another video soon showing my accessorizing!

My Anders cosplay that I’ve been working on for like two years is finally done! Used Autodesk Sketchbook to edit these photos. Absolutely RIP to the photo quality. Click to enlarge, you know the drill.

Update: just wore this to the Ren Faire and people loved it!

Roux Louka from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ

Costume made and worn by me. Photo taken by mizfitpeep on IG at Anime NebrasKon 2023.

Roux is a character who I had thought about cosplaying for quite a while, and I even bought the wig a couple of years before I ended up doing it. In 2023, I wanted a costume that I could comfortably wear while driving home from a con, and Roux ended up being perfect for that. Until then, Gundam was probably my favorite long-running anime franchise that I had never cosplayed, so it was cool to finally cover it.

This was a very simple costume that didn't take long for me to construct. I bought the unitard and wore it unaltered aside from sewing a snap to the shoulder to hold up the sash. The rest I made using leftover materials from other projects. The wig is an Arda Venus in Ice Violet that didn't require much styling outside of cutting the bangs. I bought and wore earrings, though they were usually obscured by the hair.
