Drogon Cosplay

Game of thrones

This costume was made together with Jushiiro @nekoomata​ who cosplayed WeiWuxian. You can check out his Instagram to see the full cosplay and his other works. (Instagram :https://www.instagram.com/jushiiro/ )

Materials used: 

Grey jersey fabric. Our reason for using this kind of fabric  is that it is lightweight (which is really important considering the sleeves are already heavy enough) and makes the sleeves more flowy ( which is great for photoshoots) . Moreover, it doesn't wrinkle as easily as other fabrics.

 Red fabric for the flames ( We used viscose fabric. If you are going to use fusible interfacing try avoiding fabrics that tend to get burnt easily) 

Optional : Fusible interfacing ( fabric that becomes sticky when heated with an iron.Although it's optional, we highly recommend using this to attach the red fabric more securely to the grey fabric ) 

Red trim for decorating the edges of the flames (we used about 7 metres )

Pattern: For the coat pattern we simply modified a kimono pattern by cutting the 2 front pieces in a way that they don't overlap.

We then placed the two front panels to the back panel right sides facing and connected them by sewing a straight line along the shoulders (seam 1)

After that we opened the two pieces as shown in the picture and placed the sleeves open on the coat. We then sewed only the edge of the armhole ( seam 2).

“The three of us performing together... It really feels overdue, doesn't it?”
