Princess Mononoke Part 2: Clothes

Dress, Shirt, Cape, and Hood

Dress

               Used a chiffon purple-dark blue fabric to make a tank style dress.            

Shirt

               Muslin was used to make the shirt. I simply cut out the approximate shaped and adjusted it on my body. I used my fingers to fray the edges

Cape

               Cape and hood used a white long-hair synthetic fur. The cape is double-sided and painted with watered down tempera paint to give it a more realistic color.

Hood

               The hood was also painted with tempera paint to give it a more realistic color. The ears are made of cardboard held together by tape. Then they were paper mache’d and painted with tempera paint and sealed with modge podge.

Wig is from Arda Wigs in Magnum Long in the color spanish brown.

*I am by no means an expert at sewing and so I do not feel it’s worth describing my process of sewing these items any more than I already have. You can ask me how I made any of these items specifically though. This is my first Coplay so please be nice in the comments. ^.^
