Heading to @zenkaikon as #ArtNouveauFluttershy! (I realised right before I posted this that I’d forgotten my wings in the hotel room—luckily I hadn’t gotten too far yet!) 💖🦋🐰🌸🌿 So excited about Zenkaikon’s #RenFaire theme! 💖🏰🦄 (I’ve always wanted to wear #Fluttershy to @parenfaire, but it’s usually far too hot to wear a wig. 😕) I’m loving my new ruffled hoop skirt! I feel it’s giving Disney Princess? 💖😊 {Wig by @ardawigs; wings by @pandakitty_studios; butterfly brocade by @cosplayfabrics; pony ears by @yayahan & painted by me; top & bodice patterns by @simplicity_creative_group; skirt pattern by @mccallpatterncompany; boots by @timberland} 💖🦋🐰🌸🌿 @mylittlepony #MyLittlePonyFrienshipisMagic #Fluttershycosplay #MyLittlePonycosplay #GrandGallopingGalacosplay #AlphonseMuchacosplay #ArtNouveaucosplay #MuchaFluttershy #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #ArdaWigs #PandaKittyCosplay #CosplayFabrics #RagtraderVintage #ponyears #cosplaywings #corsetry #hoopskirt #flowercrown #RenaissanceFaire #Fairelife #RenFairegarb #handmadewithJoAnn #artofthedress #Zenkaikon #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLQfXHslB8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#flashbackfriday - As Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This was one of my first ventures into designing original outfits for characters. It was also one of my first attempts of designing and making retro dresses. #cosplay #mlp #rarity #mylittlepony #mlpfim #sewing #artofthedress #fanime #fAnime2012 #mylittleponyfriendshipismagic #pegasister #hasbro #vintagerepro #retro #retrostyle #sewretro https://www.instagram.com/p/BqPxZh0DF7Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pjdk9n7ej4oc

Attending @zenkaikon as an alternate version of my #Pathfinder character, #LinnaeaGreenbriar (using my Helga Hufflepuff dress), today! I haven’t worn her to a convention in a while, but she’s my favourite #cosplay to take to @parenfaire! (Once again, I must mention how much I love that #Zenkaikon is #RenFaire -themed this year!) 💖✨🏰🌿 Linnaea is a NG half-elf cleric of Sarenrae & the diplomat & healer of the party. She may not use her scimitar much (my attack & damage rolls had nothing on our paladin), but she's pretty good with her spells! Toward the end of our campaign (Rise of the Runelords) our GM had our characters ascend to Mythic heroes, so Linnaea chose the Hierophant path. I envision her becoming a high priestess after the adventure ended and she returned to Lastwall. (Perhaps she’ll adventure again, but I see her staying at the temple for a while & helping other adventurers.) Sarenrae’s domains are Sun, Healing, and Light, among others. ✨ Dress pattern by @mccallpatterncompany; corset by @BossWenchofficial / Crystal Fineries, ears by @aradanistudios, pendant of Sarenrae necklace by #TheRelicShoppe on Etsy, custom circlet gifted by @sweetchestnutdesigns, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember, sun patch by @critstitch6} 💖✨🏰🌿 #Sarenrae #cleric #halfelf #clericofSarenrae #Pathfindercosplay #Pathfindercharacter #originalcharactercosplay #elfears #PARenFaire #PennsylvaniaRenaissanceFaire #RenaissanceFaire #Fairelife #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #BossWench #AradaniStudios #TheRelicShoppe #SweetChestnutDesigns #WordsRemember #ButterickPatterns #handmadewithJoAnn #artofthedress #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN2QqzOd9U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GREEN in my #cosplayrainbow is #SophieHatter! 🌈💖 Picture taken at @t2comiccon 2017; border added with @picsart. This dress was mostly made by my mum as I was rather intimidated by the vintage yoked nightgown pattern from #ButterickPatterns we used for the top half! (I trimmed the hat and I think I did most of the skirt portion?) 💖👒🏰🔥 #SophieHattercosplay #HowlsMovingCastle #HowlsMovingCastlecosplay #StudioGhibli #StudioGhiblicosplay #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #artofthedress #vintagepattern #McCallsPatterns #TwinTiersComicCon #T2C2 #costumerainbow #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CQsJTc9jHBr/?utm_medium=tumblr

About to start sewing the #brocade portion of my #ArtNouveauFluttershy #corset! ::crosses fingers that everything goes well:: (Blue Choo Butterfly Brocade from @cosplayfabrics / @yayahan via @joann_stores.)

Day Five of @celerymoondesigns' #12DaysofCosmas is "Ring." Here's (movieverse) #SophieHatter! (Picture is from @t2comiccon 2017.) 💖👒🏰🔥 * * Yes, Sophie *would* work better for Day Eleven's "Castles" prompt, but I couldn't think of anything else to use for "Ring" (although I *do* want to cosplay Arwen from Lord of the Rings at some point)--& Howl does give Sophie that magical homing-beacon ring? (Note to self: I still need to get a "Howl's ring" piece for this cosplay.) * * #SophieHattercosplay #HowlsMovingCastle #HowlsMovingCastlecosplay #StudioGhibli #StudioGhiblicosplay #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #artofthedress #ButterickPatterns #vintagepattern #McCallsPatterns #TwinTiersComicCon #T2C2 #TwelveDaysofCosmas #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CJApkqXjGdY/?igshid=avplrmoi59w3

Arrived in Ithaca for @wizardingwknd ! Heading to the hotel to transform from a Muggle to a Hogwarts Founder. (& yes, the #concrunch was so bad I made this flower crown in the car on the way over.) 💖🌿🏰✨ * * #HelgaHufflepuff #HarryPotter #HarryPottercosplay #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #literarycosplay #WizardingWeekend #GorgeKeep #IthacaisMagic #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #handmadewithJoann #flowercrown #artofthedress #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Fb-gSj7Fd/?igshid=j4bp83yfycjj

I've purchased my Magical Passport & preregistered for the Costume Contest for Ithaca @wizardingwknd!! Now to finish my #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay--including my first #cosplayembroidery! (I do actually have some progress pictures to post & will try to do so before the actual event.) I'm especially excited because I'll be attending both days of the festival for the first time! 💖🏰✨ * * #HelgaHufflepuff #HarryPotter #HarryPottercosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #literarycosplay #WizardingWeekend #IthacaisMagic #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayWIP #HelgaHufflepuffWIP #artofthedress #InstagramStories #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IiUK_lcim/?igshid=1409ts03rso3k

The fantastic @nicennerdy_cosplay is doing IG Story shoutouts! Definitely pop over to follow some awesome cosplayers (& @nicennerdy_cosplay if you aren't already doing so)! Thanks again for the shoutout! 💖😊 * * (I love this cosplay so much! I wish I could wear #ArtNouveauFluttershy to @parenfaire for Myths & Legends or Time Travellers weekends, but I'm always overheating as it is--I can't imagine wearing a wig at Faire in the summertime! 💖🦋🐰🌸🌿) * * #NiceNNerdyCosplay #Fluttershy #MyLittlePonyFriendshipisMagic #Fluttershycosplay #MyLittlePonycosplay #GrandGallopingGala #GrandGallopingGalacosplay #AlphonseMuchacosplay #ArtNouveaucosplay #MuchaFluttershy #artofthedress #ArdaWigs #PandaKittyStudios #adventuresincosplay #cosplaylife #costuming #cosplay #cosplayshoutout #InstagramStories #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Pd4ZeDfJh/?igshid=1fwsxw8ge11t0

BLACK <s>the night that ends at last</s> in my #cosplayrainbow : Asexual Flag Edition is #HelgaHufflepuff! 🌈💖 Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts. I’m considering doing a different cross stitch piece for this cosplay if I can find patterns for a flower representing each Founder & a heraldic/medieval-looking H--& maybe include the badger motif as a necklace instead? (If I can settle on a vaguely handwavey time period, haha.) Or, possibly add a corset-esque bodice in the same black floral fabric as the contrast bits? Any thoughts? (This will be an actual poll at some point.) 💖🌿🏰✨ Ace culture/meme thing: DRAGONS. 🐉 (I was highly disappointed in my group's first Pathfinder campaign that the dragons we encountered were always Evil. Hoping that we'll meet again eventually--it's been a few years--to continue our current campaign, where I'm playing an elf ranger who will be multiclassing to Arcane Archer...not least because our GM agreed that my character could get a pseudodragon companion at some point! 😊 ) {Wand by Rook's Gambit at @parenfaire, wand holster by @broomhilde99, cross stitch pattern by #CuteCrossStitchShop on Etsy, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember} Picture taken at @t2comiccon 2019; border added with @picsart. (Rather bittersweet to be posting this on PA Ren Faire's opening weekend as I was very much looking forward to wearing Helga at Faire for the first time on Fantasy Weekend next month, but now we're not going. 💔 Slightly less tl;dr version: our hotel reservations were cancelled & it was too short-notice to book another hotel in the area, but we had already scheduled vacation days so we'll be going to Gettysburg instead & my dad will be showing us around.) #HelgatheLoyal #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #historicalHogwarts #historicallyadequate #literarycosplay #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayembroidery #crossstitch #handmadewithJoann #ButterickPatterns #Broomhilde99 #WordsRemember #artofthedress #TwinTiersComicCon #costumerainbow #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #asexuality #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1G0vqrXTY/?utm_medium=tumblr

YELLOW in my #cosplayrainbow is #HelgaHufflepuff! 🌈💖 Everyone is welcome at Hogwarts. (One of my headcanons is that Helga definitely would allow non-magical people to take sanctuary at the castle as well, rather like those seeking sanctuary at churches/cathedrals/places of worship.) I’m considering doing a different cross stitch piece for this cosplay if I can find patterns for the components: a flower representing each Founder around a stylised H (& maybe include the badger motif as a necklace instead?). Or, possibly add a not-quite corset-esque bodice in the same black floral fabric as the other contrast bits? Any thoughts? 💖🌿🏰✨ {Wand by Rook's Gambit at @parenfaire, wand holster by @broomhilde99, cross stitch pattern by #CuteCrossStitchShop on Etsy, ring belt by #MyFunkyCamelot on Etsy, bag loops by @wordsremember} Picture taken at @t2comiccon 2019 (the last in-person convention I attended); border added with @picsart. #HelgatheLoyal #HelgaHufflepuffcosplay #Hufflepuff #Hufflepuffcosplay #HogwartsFounders #HogwartsFounderscosplay #historicalHogwarts #literarycosplay #cosplaylife #adventuresincosplay #cosplay #costuming #cosplayembroidery #crossstitch #handmadewithJoann #ButterickPatterns #Broomhilde99 #WordsRemember #artofthedress #TwinTiersComicCon #costumerainbow #LGBTQIAplus #aceofsparklehearts #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CQraT6MDpXr/?utm_medium=tumblr
