I finally finished my cosplay of Alice in her heart dress! So I wanted to show everyone, and get some ideas for where/what I can improve. I am planning on redoing the gloves at some point, but other than that, please let me know what you think!



Also, please ignore the fact that there are no gold hearts on the bow. I JUST realized this (fail.) while looking at the reference pictures. >.< They'll take two seconds to add so its not a big deal.

ALICE!!! <3 <3 <3 This is awesome!!! You make it perfectly!!! *A*



I'm going to be making this dress, too, for Otakon! (And hopefully also her Chinese dress version if I have time/money.)



May I ask where you got your boots? I've been searching everywhere for the right boots, but the only ones I can find are $200. x_x

Thank youuu! =) I actually had the boots on hand and just added the straps and buckles.

you did a really nice job on all the detailing.



The first thing that strikes me is the apron. It's shiny, and based on the reference, it's not dirty or dingy enough. I don't like using satin for aprons because most aprons are made out of cotton. Without knowing the character though, I would haven't noticed. However, the dirty apron would give it a more scary feeling to the outfit. Right now you look more like a princess.



The wig is also a lot darker in the photos (I believe her hair is black, yes?) and the side bangs are kinda bugging me because of the way you parted them. I normally make sure when I use a wig that if it doesn't have bangs I don't use a banged wig because it makes the split look awkward

Nice!

The first thing I notice is that the skull has a pointier ''beak'', yours seems very rounded.

Also the apron could be in a darker material, like an off-white cotton that you could dye with tea :)



Other than that, a VERY nice and detailed cosplay! It's very impressive ^^

Thank you to everyone so far!



Yes, I wasn't too big of a fan of the fabric for the apron. They didn't have what I was looking for so I ended up just getting that because I figured "better than nothing." It didn't take long to make the apron and attach it, so I can always fix that.



With the wig, she actually does have bangs, which is why I chose a banged wig. They are longer bangs and you can't really tell from the pictures I chose as references (my fault!). Most of the reference pictures show her hair being blown back, anyway. The color... Ah, I had originally liked it because the first game her hair was a brownish color, but now I do think it should be darker. (which sucks because it took forever to find that specific color!)

I think this is just amazing, the detail is epic and it's so neatly done too. After seeing the first picture I couldn't help but gasp ^^

Can't even get my head around how long this must have taken you to do!

#9 Tonksie on 9 years ago

Could you tell me where you got the wig? I need a wig almost exactly that color for another costume and am having a really hard time finding anything for it.

Thank youu!! It seems like it took foreverrr to do. over 100 hours. But hey it was worth it!

I think I got I just found it from ecrater somewhere. Cosplaywigshop maybe? I didn't save it but I just did lots of searches for "banged brown wigs"

It's beautiful ~!

You look stunning : D

But I think that a little bit of "dirt" would give it more character ~

#12 Cattypatra<3 on 9 years ago

Very beautifully done detailing. The crispness of the gold is gorgeous! I love how closely you've followed your reference pictures.



The only thing that really strikes me as needing work is the fit. The costume doesn't look perfectly tailored and bunches around your waist. Also, a floofier petticoat would give this costume a nicer silhouette.

#13 Aubrey on 9 years ago

wow i love this dress im planning on making it myself eventually once the time and money comes to me but i think you did a brilliant job!! other than that apron fabric it seems pretty acurate

#14 hoshi<3 on 9 years ago
