So, for Halloween my husband had the cutest idea for a couples costume; a white and black mage from Final Fantasy! Of course I agreed to make both with only one week until Halloween but it worked out well :) I took some neat photos the other day and here they are! (Bonus pictures of his black mage cosplay at the end)

And here’s the details of how I made it:

The Dress:

I used a simple circle skirt pattern and attached it a different top pattern and jimmy-rigged them to fit. I also sadly chose a cheap satin so it frays quite easily but it’s shiny!

I cut out each red triangle out of felt and used a spray glue to stick them all on…one…by…one

It fastens with a simple zipper-back and I made a fluffy tutu to go underneath for that skirt volume!

The Cape:

Made with the same white satin, used a simplicity Halloween costume pattern; well pieces of it anyway and cut out/glued all those red felt triangles on



Used gold ribbon for the neck ties



The wand I got from Etsy but I had to paint it red as it came a strange pink-ish color with purple spots. I’ve also had the boots laying around for a few years and they were perfect for this cosplay!

All in all, this was a quicker cosplay to make and it’s extremely comfy & fun to wear! I think this is one of my favorites now!

Bonus: the black mage! Made from 3 different patterns (one for the robe, one for the neck piece and one for the hat)
