Making a Franco cosplay :0
Hi I'm making a Franco cosplay and here's what I've got so far.
I'm modifying the outfit slightly to appear more like a Zoot suit, worn by El Pachucos in the late 40s. So, ballooned trousers, flared shoulders, and a general oversized look, similar to what Franco wears. I'm also going to make a more feminine look for my cosplay, cuz I like being feminine 🤷♀️
Here's the concept (plus Franco outfit and Zoot suit reference):
Staring off with the trousers - I don't have a pattern for Zoot suit style trousers so I'll have to work with making wide trousers and making them thinner at the bottom later.
Progress pics. Learnt how to sew fly shields for this 🫡
How they look so far!! Really happy since these are the first trousers I've ever sewed, and also got it done so fast! Not finished yet - just need to add buttons to the belt thing and to fix up the bottoms of the legs. Also have to, uh, literally make the rest of the outfit.
