Cosplay
After dabbling for a couple of years I've been seriously cosplaying (and sometimes competing) since 2008. Wow time flies!
I missed old websites like CosplayLab and Cosplay(dot)com, so here's my attempt at documenting some of the things I've made/worn over the years.
I will do my best to credit photos taken by photographers, but I apologize if I can't remember after all these years;;
WIP
Gum
Jet Set Radio
2026
I love Jet Set Radio and am so exicted to have finally gotten around to making a cosplay from it!
Lum
Urusei Yatsura
2026
School uniform Lum made for a local event! Repurposed the bow from my Fraw Bow costume, haha.
Mana
Malice Mizer - Beast of Blood PV.
2025
I love Vkei, so of course I love Malice Mizer. To be honest, I did this completely on a whim but I am so happy with how the dress turned out! Still trying to get better at doing white pancake makeup though lol.
Ranma Saotome
Ranma 1/2
Female Ranma
2025
Ranma! I love Ranma to death and after doing Shampoo and Akane, I wanted to make female Ranma. I tried following a chinese pattern from Etsy (will link) for the top, but didn't have quite enough fabric to pull it off. Oh well.
Hatsune Miku
Vocaloid
2025
I made this Miku while slacking off on another, bigger Hatsune Miku project. Made this costume with 1 yard fabric scraps and a dream.
Lalah Sune
Mobile Suit Gundam
2025
What's easier than wearing an easy breezy Caftan during an event? One of these days, I'll sucker someone into dressing as Char...
Suletta Mercury
Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch From Mercury
2023
Gundam Tanuki! Once I watched Gundam Utena, I knew I had to make a cosplay. Suletta is so cute and I love the way this costume turned out! Big shout out to my mom for using her embroidery machine to help me with the emblems.
Mihoshi Kuromitsu
Tenshi Muyo Universe
2023My friends and I decided to throw it back and do Tenchi. I used to rent Tenchi Muyo all the time from the local video store and loved Mihoshi and Kiyone's dynamic.
Ulala
Space Channel 5
2023
Welcome to Ulala's Swinging' Report Show! This was made for Youmacon 2023's Masquerade and though I didn't place, I had a blast! I would definitely do some things differently if I ever wear it again.
Akane Tendo
Ranma 1/2
2022?
After Shampoo, I decided to do Akane! She's so cute and that teal school uniform is iconic. This was one of many costumes started in lockdown.
Jolyne Cujoh
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
2022? 🏆
Jolyne, Jolyne, Jolyneeeee! Made on a whim during Easter weekend 2022, but absolutely love it! Won 1st place in the Journeyman category of Jafax 2022.
Ringo Ando
Puyo Puyo
2022
It's time for a Puyo Puyo battle! Done as a group cosplay, this was mostly thrifted with exception of the skirt and stockings. This was my first time doing a drill wig, and it was uhhh interesting;;
Raiden Shogun
Genshin Impact
2022
This was a costume purchased on FB Marketplace to match my partner in crime. I know nothing about Genshin Impact lol. I did remake the shoulder guard thing-y out of EVA foam based on a pattern from Etsy (will link).
Lum
Urusei Yatsura
2022
Darling~! This costume was something I always joked about. I love Rumiko Takahashi and Lum's design is so cute, I decided to go for it.
Shampoo
Ranma 1/2
2022
Initially made for a work halloween party since wearing the Qipao version would've probably been not cool for the office, haha. I ended up making everything out of polyester knits since I couldn't find any close color combos out of non-synthetics, so this costume is toasty @_@;
Shampoo
Ranma 1/2
2021 🏆
My first Ranma costume! I've always thought this outfit was cute and wanted to make it. Ended up winning Judge's Choice at Dokidokon 2021.
Usagi Tsukino
Sailor Moon
2021
Initially made for a work halloween party. Reused a lot of elements (bow, broach) from my other Sailor Moon cosplay.
Sailor Moon
Sailor Moon
2020
Made a Sailor Moon cosplay during lockdown. This has always been one of my dream costumes and I am so happy with the results. The broach and tiara (Catzia), I ordered from Etsy. Literally a dream come true!
Zero
Drakengard 3
2019
Made this costume to match my wife. Its very incomplete but pretty cute? I don't know anything about Drakengard.
Foo Fighters
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
2019?
My favorite group of sentient plankton. I tried experimenting with the G.D. St. Jail applique to mostly success.
2.P.
Nier Automata
Year?Bought this 2.P. from Miccostumes to match my wife's 2.B. costume. I haven't played Nier or any Yoko Taro games.
Kanao Tsuyuri
Demon Slayer
Year?
Bought this costume from Miccostumes to join some friends in a Demon Slayer group that didn't fully form.
Ochako Uraraka
My Hero Academia
2017
Made because I wanted a simple school uniform to wear out and about. I only made it about 50 chapters into MHA.
Fraw Bow
Mobile Suit Gundam
2017 🏆
Sweet, sweet Fraw Bow. I love the White Base crew so much and Fraw's unform is cute. Won Best in Show at KoganCon 2018.
Hato Higashikata
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Jojolion
2017
I had a bunch of 4 way purple spandex from a costume that never came into fruition. The arrow pointing at the crotch is certainly a design choice lmao.
Storm
X-Men
Year?
The OG baddie! The cape is amazing and the crown/headress thing was fun to make. The shoes are absolutely killer though ;x;
Maya Fey
Ace Attorney
Year?
I was sitting on the materials for this costume for a million years before I got my butt in gear and finished it. Maya is cute and the cosplay turned out great.
Yasuho Hirose
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Jojolion
Year?
I love the romance between Gappy and Yasuho. This costume was fun to make and involved lots of different, bright materials. I handmade all the roses on the skirt out of different colors and widths of ribbon.
Yukari Takeba
Persona 3
Year?
This all started after I found the perfect rib knit at my local fabric store. It just screamed "Yukari!"
Yukako Yamagishi
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable
Year?
Very orange. Very Bright. Part 4 is probably my fav part of Jojo. Yukako is so unhinged lol. This costume was made using bright orange twill and neon green pleather.
Anthy Himemiya
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Year?
You know my bestie and I had to revolutionize the world. The way we made these costumes was so unhinged and we were literally sewing in the hotel room right before we wore them out. Felt very fancy though in the gown, haha.
Sailor Neptune
Sailor Moon
Year?
I've made and remade this costume a total of 3(?) times over the years and learned a lot, which would definitely be a huge help when I decided to make a Sailor Moon cosplay.
Aoi Asahina
Dangan Ronpa
2013
I too was reading the /forum/ and loved Asahina! The jacket was thrifted and the white tank top I already had. I did make the short shorts and knee brace. Trying to get the pony tail to stand up was interesting.
Kaguya Houraisan
Touhou Project: Imperishable Night
2013
Save me Eirin~! Loved the gold appliques on this costume, but I made the terrible, terrible desicison to make the entire thing out of polyester tafetta. I was roasting, scoob.
Black Canary
DC Comics
Year?
Was super proud of this costume at the time because it was entirely self drafted. The body suit has three layers, with the center layer being duck canvas with stays and bones to keep it upright and the finish was handsewn bias tape.
Mami Tomoe
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Year?
Decided to throw the magical girl version and the school uniform in the same post, haha. The magical girl version is pretty sloppily made but not bad for a highschooler. The school uniform (done much later) was just the same one I made for Homura.
Homura Akemi
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Year?
Made a Homura school uniform outfit to go see Rebellion in the theater. This was pretty cute!
Chen
Touhou Project: Perfect Cherry Blossom
2011 🏆
Competed with my Bestie who went as Reimu! This was out first big win after trying for a couple of years! Won Runner Up Journeymen at Jafax 2011.
Ranmao
Black Butler
Year?
I very much winged this costume, but not bad for a high schooler haha.
Prince Soma
Black Butler
2010
I could write an essay about this costume and our Black Butler group, but I look back at it fondly. My friend (the only other seamstress in our group at the time) and I always joke that these were the costumes that made us "Level Up". We both made our own outfits (her's being Grell) and then we tagged teamed and also made Madame Red and Ciel Phantomhive. Not bad for two highschool kids.
