#20daysofcosplaychallenge Day Eight: What is your cosplay specialty? Detailing work! There is nothing I love more than adding delicate little details to a costume, a lot of which I do by hand. I love learning new handcrafts and pour a lot of time into them! The soutache and buttons on Ireland's pirate coat were all hand-sewn, as well as all of the decorations on the hat; Bitty Ireland's léine was entirely hand embroidered, and I'm still working on a tablet-woven trim for the brat; The pearls, lace, applique, and fur collar on Cardverse Schweiz are hand sewn and I custom dyed the fur; The belt buckle, body armor, pauldron, and boot covers for Ezio were all patterned, constructed, and painted by hand. While I construct most everything in my cosplays, it's the tiny, time-consuming embellishments that I love the most! - - - #20daysofcosplay #cosplay #costuming #historicalcostuming #aphireland #aphswitzerland #cardverse #hetalia #assassinscreed #embroidery #soutache
