Reginas outfit in the episode „True
North“ (Season 1 Episode 9) was always my favorite one from all of
her gorgeus dresses, so I just had to cosplay it. I start working on
this Cosplay in 2015 to wear it at the Leipziger Bookfair. I sadly
never 100% finished this Cosplay even tough I already wore it twice.
Back in 2015 I just don´t had enough time and later I just put it
beside always saying that someday I will make the rest of this
Cosplay, but now I doubt that this will happen. So the cape and the
gloves are missing, but I still want to show you how I made the parts
I finished.
Luckily McCalls has a Collection of
Cosplay patterns and they have the pattern for exactly the outfit
from Regina I wanted to Cosplay. I first made a mockup from some
cheap cotton I had laying around to test the fitting of the pattern.
The mockup already fitted very well so I just had to make some small
adjustments.
The final piece was sewn frome some
purple velvet flock damask. The fabric is not screen accurate. In the
series it is a purple fabric with a black pattern, but I searched
really long but only could find a purple one with purple pattern. The
coat has a black polyester lining. The coat has a lacing in the back
and is closed with snap fasteners, the buttons are only founded. The
two little flaps on the front are made from some black cotton
leftover I had from another project and sewn on to the coat. The
silver tapes are actually just some kind of thick present ribbon, it
was the only ribbon I found with the right color. The tapes are glued
on with some glue.
Regina has this kind of waist pillows
under her coat to define her shape better. I just sewed two square
pillows and filled them with cushioning cotton. I sewed to straps on
the back of both and through this I put a black cord to tie it around
my waist.
The base of the hat was a hat from a
carnival store I just had to remove the ribbon that was on it.
Afterwards I started glueing on many, many, MANY rhinestones on it by
hand. The new ribbon I put around the hat is the same on that I used
on the coat. The feathers (that are actually to small but time was
short and I didn´t had other ones) are glued on with fabric glue.
And the last part the brooch was not selfmade but just from ebay.
The wig I used was from MyCostumes and
had a great quality. The wig already had a good lenght and was also
already curly enough. I manly just had to tease the wig … a Lot.
And also put a LOT of hairspray into it, but now it the wig hair
stays really good in place ( I actually don´t know if I would ever
get all of the hairspray out)
The shoes (and the leggings) were the
easiest parts cause I just buyed them in on ebay. And for the high of
the heels the shoes are actually quite comfortable
