Final Fantasy IV: Rydia

Born to one of the few remaining pure-blood Summoner families in Mist, Rydia is the daughter of the protector of a remote village with the Eidolon Mist Dragon. One day, the Dark Knight Cecil Harvey along with his best friend, Kain Highwind, were ordered by the King of Baron to deliver a ring to Mist Village and killed the dragon barring their way. What they didn’t know was that once an Eidolon dies, its respective summoner dies as well, inadvertently killing Rydia’s mother in the process. Once they realized what they had done, they offered to take Rydia to safety, but she refused their help, overhearing that they were indeed the dragon slayers.

Beautiful cosplay by Ukrainian cosplayer Anita Lust! I really love how she interpreted the original character design with all the gold details! Thanks to Anita for sending this and please visit her blog for more of her cosplay photos!

Busy and more busy

You might have noticed that I haven't been here so much and it has it's reasons. I am at the moment writhing my final essay and it demands a lot of time. But I can let you in on a few starters of my Rosa cosplay.

So far I've only started on her top, one of her millions sashes, the cape and the shoulderpads.

First I had to decided which fabrics I would use for the top. In the end I go a white thin cotton, two layers of old lace curtain, a thick green cotton and the lining. 

Cutting out fabric. This is actually the thing about sewing that I find the most boring and usually the fabric lays on my floor a couple of days before I measure and finally cut out the patterns. 

The lining complete with 'shim'?
Well, I still have to sew it together. 

The parts all put together, now I just have to sew it together. 

Well that's all I have photos of so far. Bye!
