Winter's Poorly Timed Cosplay

My part of a trade with Play station ranger!  Winter tries out a very fitting cosplay and it looks like she's gonna need to work in the outfit!

After a forced hiatus, AVCon returns to celebrate its 21st year!

Although I had been making costumes before then, back in 2009, AVCon was my very first convention ever and so this event hold a special little place in my geekiness. Thank you to everyone who made the weekend enjoyable for this old fool and big thanks to all those who kindly took the time to participate in this video.

A ribbon corset has been on my list to make for a good few years now. In 2020 I was full steam ahead to make a Helga Sinclair (Atlantis) cosplay. Life, pandemic, work, and endless distractions means we’re still not quite there yet, but in dribs and drabs I’m tackling elements of the costume as I’m still sitting on the majority of the materials.

This was when when I was in the depths of being very taken with making costumes from the skin out; fit, silhouette and sharp clean lines are my priority when making and where I find great satisfaction. To achieve a perfect shape, you need the perfect structure to build on.

Playing with undergarments creates further opportunity to explore character and the setting, historical or fictional, in a fun intimate way. Fabric choices, actual garment choices, shooting for a silhouette that is easily drawn but harder to achieve in the flesh. This led to me deciding that Helga would need a full set of pseudo-historical undergarments.

With references to the Kaiser, the overall steampunk aesthetic, and the silhouettes featured in the Washington DC-set opening scenes, Atlantis is clearly set in the early 1910s before the outbreak of World War I. Helga's design, however, drew heavily on Hollywood starlets of the '30's and '40's, most notably Veronica Lake and her career making hair. Withn the film, Helga remained highly individual, and was exclusively animated at Disney's French Studio by Japanese animator Yoshimichi Tamura for maximum sex appeal that Burbank animators apparently just can't get right.

This gave me a lovely big window of around 30 years to play and pick and choose from for possible undergarments which led me to: the ribbon corset.

Ribbon corsets emerged alongside sports and 'health' corsets at the turn of the twentieth century. These developed out of a growing engagement with sports and exercise in the leisure classes, the burgeoning Dress Reform movement that advocated the abandonment of the corset. Particularly in the case of the pretty ribbon corset there was also the influence of the late Victorian aesthetic movement that favoured loose, diaphonous romantic garments.

These corsets sat under the bust and had boning at the centre front, back and sides and no more and rested on the high hip. This allowed maximum movement for the active lady, gently supporting the torso in the fashionable flat fronted shaped with little restircution. The body of the corset was otherwise was made up, as in the name, of strips of ribbon.

When looking for discussion of how to construct one of these, all pointers led to Sidney Eileen's perfectly detailed tutorial, which I do recommend reading through. To my eye it is a very modern approach that I didn't quite agree with so I used it as a jumping off point along with the patterns in Corsets & Crinolines, and Corsets - Historical Patterns and Techniques.

To draft up the pattern was very simple: I marked out my desired waist measure, then measured up my centre front and centre back lengths (averaged out from the various patterns in my references compared against myself). I then used my ribbon - 50mm jacquard - to map out my body layout.

When it came time to construct I realised that my ribbon - so abstractly bought years ago - just didn't have the body to take this structure. Much too flimsy, much too synthetic. Fortunately I had a 50mm green grosgain in large quantity in my ribbon drawer. Given the merc-for-hire miliatry drab favoured by Helga, I thought the green alongside the pretty shell coloured floral made a lovely character juxtaposition.

I mounted my jacquard onto the grosgrain, creating a nice delicate border. If you look closely you'll see that actually there are too shades of green grosgrain here as I was about a metre shy of my preferred colour, but i figured it was close enough and minimally to just fake through.

These newly formed ribbons were laid out on my pattern, stitched carrfully together and then tacked all over to stop any irritating movement when working.

The boned panels - side, back and front - were two layers of herrinbone couil, trimmed with grosgrain and covered with main ribbon. The ribbon panels were first stitched to one layer of coutil, as you would with any garment. The ribbons were then quilted neatly and vertically across the width of the coutil panel to make sure that they are entirely secured. This was repeated for all panels; the side panel has two layers of quilte ribbon as a result.

As no extant example that I have seen to date has binding on these boned panels - naturally, it would add bulk and distract from the clean lines of ribbons - I decided that this would mean that I would sandwich and hem my boned panels for security. Each boned panel had its grosgrain trim and top ribbon tacked in placed, the the second layer of coutil was stitched and turned to the inside, folding the quilted ribbon very neatly inside. Boning was then inserted from the side and stitched into place rather than inserted into channels.

A lovely ivory powder-coated busk, and stitched over eyelets and Helga's vaguely turn of the century ribbon corset is all done!

[toskarin]

hi Toskarin! you seem knowledgeable about mount & blade so I was wondering. do you know if there's any mod that lets me gay marry the ladies that isn't also a dong-hanging sex pervert mod?

nothing against dong hanging sex perverts of course.

you can do it in Gensokyo Warfare, the strongest mod ever made. it notably also has tangible stat bonuses for building relationships with other characters and asking them for a copy of their clothes so you can cosplay them

[feralhoekage]

What are some cosplay that you want to do in the future

[have-a-hiddles]

Little haul from Chicago Fan Expo.

1. Special Edition Frost Giant Loki Funko Pop

2. Summer Convention LE Young Leia and Lola Funko Pop

3. A real coyote skull

4. A pink articulated dragon

5. Two lightsaber display mounts (and a free hilt protector)

6. A 1/2 pound of fancy-shmancy fudge (not pictured)

I found ONE person there wearing a Rite Here Rite now shirt and I gave him my Kaisarion bracelet!

I found an awesome Deadpool comic splayed and gave the sparkliest pink bracelet I had.

I gave a Star Wars bracelet to a Padme cosplayer.

Gave the Scream bracelet to someone wearing a Scream shirt.

Gave a bracelet to pretty much any staff that helped me out, including the ladies who were at the food registers.

Discovered that “GHOST” could just as easily apply to the character Ghost from Call of Duty. So I gave Ghost bracelets to any Ghost cosplayers I saw.

Briefly saw Mark Hamill while @sincerejester was getting his autograph. Also saw his dogs!

Saw the most perfect Kronk cosplay ever (Patrick Wharburton was one of the guests).

My right hip now feels like it’s out of its socket and hurts SO much. But worth it. Excuse me I’m just gonna take some NSAIDs and collapse.

(How the hell did I ever pull off 3-4 day cons? This was a Sunday only outing and my legs feel destroyed!)

Bible Versus from Nona the Ninth (Spoilers?)

John 5:20   (p73)

The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

John 5:23   (p98)

so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

John 5:18   (p127)

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God

John 8:1     (p188)

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

John 19:18 (p219)

There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

John 5:1     (p270)

Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

John 3:20   (p279)

Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

John 9:22   (p318)

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

John 1:20   (p395)

He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”

John 5:4     (p432)

From time to time an angel of the Lord would come down and stir up the waters. The first one into the pool after each such disturbance would be cured of whatever disease they had. (I am no way a practitioner of the Christian/Catholic faith so this list is compiled from Google searches. I used BibleHub and BibleGateway to put this together so if there's errors please DM me and I'll fix it. Just wanted to do something to put them all together in one place for anyone reading.)

the good things in life are sometimes expensive (oops)

Okay SO today (Wednesday) was admittedly a splurge day but it was very worth it. 

Event One: two-hour privately-guided horseback ride in Hyde Park. This was a mix of instructional and fun and was exactly what I wanted. I will admit that part of the motivation was wanting to ride a horse in “Rotten Row” which is where fancy people in I want to say the 1800s went to ride socially, at least according to Books (of the fictional variety). Kind of astonishingly, Rotten Row still exists, but minus the chaperones, top hats, and sidesaddles. And invitations to balls from young men for whom young ladies are secretly yearning. 

ANYWAY, that was part of the motivation, but it was not all (or even mostly) cosplaying fancy English people from a bygone and deeply unequal era! I also just like riding horses, especially in a fun place with lots to see. And I was doubly happy to get some instruction because it has been about 15 years since anybody has corrected my horseback riding and every year or so when I do my Intermittently-Semi-Demi-Annual Trail Ride With Mom I have the vague feeling I am embarrassing myself and earning the scorn and contempt of my horse, plus sometimes there is a young Horse Lady who suggests I “change diagonals” and I remember that I still don’t know how to figure out which one I am on. We didn’t do any arena work this time so I still don’t know about diagonals, but Millie my guide was super amiable and also had several helpful suggestions about gripping the reins tightly (I kept messing this up), keeping my elbows tucked in and pulled back, tucking my heels under the horse’s belly and sitting back further in the saddle, which all helped a bunch. I could definitely get into horseback riding (again?) if given sufficient time and money; I loved how it is kind of a whole-body experience that requires obsessive attention to technique and completely occupies my mind the whole time. And it’s just exciting to be atop a honking big creature. 

Another fun thing about the horse ride was that because of the upcoming coronation there were lots of Professional Horse People (e.g. Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment) training in Hyde Park. Millie was very excited to see the “Drum Horses”, who were giant Shetlands who apparently will have the job of hoisting gigantic drums that their riders will play during the ceremonies (talk about honking big creatures...). We also saw army-type men doing arena work and a convoy of 4 horses who looked like they were practicing for a parade, in addition to a couple of miscellaneous police-types who just looked like they were on patrol or warming up. These men were all mounted on much finer horses, which Millie and I admired for their lighter feet and friskier air. (We were seated on relatively sturdier Irish Cobs.) I tried to ask why all the riding stable staff and students I have ever met are women, while mounted police and honor guards are inevitably men, but didn’t ask it well and didn’t really get an answer. I suppose to be in the police/cavalry you have to be interested in combat-type stuff as well as ceremonial horse dancing, and riding schools are a form of teaching so that gets female-coded, but I still don’t really understand where the male horse police come from. Maybe there are just so few positions that even though men make up an infinitesimal share of riding students, there are still enough people to fill the roles. ANYWAY II, this was a fun time, right up there with the Icelandic ponies and tolt-ing on the beach, so A++ would definitely ride again.

Fun Event Two requires less elaboration, but we went to Afternoon Tea at a nearby hotel and it was just what the doctor (my stomach, after a light breakfast and two hours of riding) ordered. Actually I didn’t like the desserts at all, but luckily since Bart was uninterested in the sandwiches I was quite full by the time they came around. And he was mainly there for the tea and the scones, so it all worked out, Jack Sprat-style. Nobody cares, but the savory dishes were, from worst (not that bad but wasn’t in the mood) to best (wow I want to be able to order this at will): salmon and dill cream sandwiches, effectively-egg-salad on brioche, coronation chicken sandwich (in other places this is called curried chicken but I am calling it by its silly name because I recently learned that Elizabeth commissioned it as the official Dish of her Coronation, why is that a thing), and lemon-asparagus-caviar quiche. I kept dropping the caviar all over my lap so it was a good thing we were tucked away in a corner where I couldn’t embarrass us. However this did result in my nibbling the dropped caviar from my fingers and I learned it barely had any flavor and didn’t contribute to the taste of the dish, which made me wonder: why bother? 

Bart is currently at his own Big Splurge, which is a Liverpool-West Ham match, and I am very excited for him and hope he has a good time.
