#zoe washburne cosplay

[simsaywhat]

On Saturday I was Zoe Washburne and I got a photo with Gina torres herself! She's so nice guys! And extra pretty in person. It's great. I now have 2 Firedly cast member photos. Gotta get them all! Here's me with all the other firefly folk!

fandom ask: 8, 9 & 11 !!

8. Dream crossover?

I read a fic once that was MCU/Brooklyn 99 and it was pretty much perfect. It would be amazing if Sam turned out to be Holt’s nephew! In my heart, it’s true. I’m thisclose to writing a spec script where the B99 gang is wreaking their typical havoc in the background for a Winter Solider & Falcon ep that digs into Bucky’s prewar life in Brooklyn ... 

9. Character death you still haven’t moved on yet?

Natasha Romanoff’s. Oooooh I’m so bitter. Also Hoban Washburn, who deserved to settle down and raise a passel of kids with Zoe as planned. 

11. Ever cosplayed a character/dream cosplay?

I have not! I do have a plan, should I ever have a small child in my possession at Halloween, to do the Leia & Han on Endor costumes and let the kiddo be an Ewok. Probably, if I have a kid, I’ll be too exhausted to make it happen but a nerd girl can dream, right?

Aphrodite and Eros

Aphrodite: what you find attractive in a person At first glance/physical - I have some types. Definitely if you’re visibly within the geeky/nerd realm I’ll be more likely to say hi. I dig pretty eyes. I lean towards liking soft butch type blondes and girls with long dark or red hair, but these are rough ideas and are always secondary once I start getting to know someone. Getting to know you - I like curiosity, humor, and creativity, pretty much in that order. Bonus points for a love of shared fandoms, animals/natural sciences, fantasy, or spooky stuffEros: describe your crush Define crush. My current one, my celebrity/fictional character crush, attainable ones...? I have a crush on my friend now, but I am resolutely sure it’s not something I can pursue. She’s got dark hair and dark eyes and she’s sweet kind and loves art. She crafts and cosplays and encourages that same creativity in others. She’s a metal head, reptile enthusiast, and dog adorer. She listens when I spout off semi-random factoids and doesn’t seem to get tired of it. She’s as insterested in ‘odd’ or ‘creepy’ things as I am and isn’t weirded out by discussions of it. She’s impatient in a cute way and doesn’t like strategy games, but appreciates the knack for it. Fictional Character/Celebrity Crushes: Utena Tenjou, Xena, Haruka Tenoh, Wonder Woman, Michiru Kaioh, Officer Nicole Haught, Bryce Dallas Howard, Switch (Matrix), Ayo (Black Panther), Vasquez (Aliens), Thor, Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Washburn, Serefina Pekkala.

Nickname: somebody once called me a 'liberal fascist' behind my back for having a Bernie sticker... does that count?

Star Sign: Libra

Sexual Orientation: Ace/Bi or Ace/Lesbian if that compulsive het stuff is true of me idk

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw w/ a strong secondary Slytherin

Favorite Colors: teal/turquoise, blues, greens, the blue end of the violet spectrum, plum/wine, slate

Favorite Animals: Otters & Corvids bc they're smart as heck & really fun. Rabbits bc I have one & she's great.

Average hours of sleep: probably 7. 8-9 is preferable but 5-6 happens too much. Can do 4 or 12 with the right circumstances

When Was This Blog Created: Beginning of my freshman year (well actually no, this is my second blog from the end of my freshman year, so yeah...), about 4 years ago

Current Number Of Followers: 218 as of this afternoon

When Did Your Blog Reach Its Peak: I'm a multifandom blog I don't think those get one peak. Basically it goes up every time I join a new fandom, esp. if I liveblog a show

What Made You Decide To Make A Tumblr: I got my first personal device from my school (bc i'm surrounded by rich people) & spent hours on youtube watching cosplay tutorials & my favorite cosplayer talked about tumblr a lot so I checked hers out. It was very neat & organized & I thought it would be cool to do one and kind of... tripped and fell off the cliff into the madness that is this website.

I won't be tagging anyone, sorry. Feel free to do it if you like, though!

Choker and red dress: Forever 21; The choker had to be modified to cut off the silver tips from the string; then the knot was retied into a Chinese knot (https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/culture/knot.htm), which is what the knot appears to be in the original costume (consistent with the use of Chinese cultural elements in Firefly as vestiges of “Earth-that-was”);

The dress was a shiny plastic-coated fabric that was close to the color of Zoe’s favorite red vest. I still intend to cut it and add buckles to look more authentic.

This costume was too hot to wear for the intended comic-con, but I do plan to finish it for a fall/winter con.

For my Birthday, All I wanted was to get together with my friends and work on completing our cosplay projects for wizard world Philadelphia 2017. They did not disapoint.

Simplicity’s Fall line has been announced.  If you are a vintage pattern lover or a cosplayer, this release is fantastic.  So many great additions!  If, however, you are a bit more interested in modern designs and trends, then the options feel a bit reduced from the normal fall line.  There are still some nice coat options though, which will be great for fall.  Since this is such a genre heavy release, I’ll break it down by category.

Modern styles:

8451 – Mimi G. Style.  The curved darts are a nice fitting detail on this sheath dress, and the coat has some great classic details.

8466 – Mimi G. Style.  Not as in love with the skirt in this pattern, but the top has an interesting flare, and continues this year’s sleeve trend into the fall season.

8453 – Top with asymmetric hem and shoulder details.  There are some interesting options here, so this seems like a great pick for those who do well in a looser silhouette.

8454 – The ruffles return in this pattern.  Their size is much reduced from the dramatically large styles this past summer.

8455 – Another tunic that has lots of interesting sleeve variations.

8457 – Amazing Fit pants.  Nice classic style, with a wide range of size options.

8459 – I really like this mock-wrap skirt.  The addition of hardware makes it a bit more interesting than a lot of other wrap skirt patterns.

8465 – I wasn’t loving the proportions of the top when I first saw this pattern, but it does actually look like a pretty cozy style to use for layering.

8474 – Pattern Hacking skirt.  Simplicity’s Pattern Hacking line comes with basic pieces but teaches you how to modify the patterns.  Not something I’m interested in, but an interesting concept for sure.

8473 – Pattern Hacking cape.

8467 – Threads coat.  Looks like it would have fairly simple lines to sew.

8468 – I really like a lot of the style lines, but I’m not won over by the boxy silhouette.

8469 – Ah, the sleeve trend makes it into the coat selection!

8470 – Probably my favorite coat of the three – I love all the pocket details and hood option!

8471 – Ashley Nell Tipton.  I am so excited that Simplicity is producing a line in the larger size ranges!  This is a classic dress that would look great on a lot of body types.

8472 – Ashley Nell Tipton.  Love this jacket!  I want to make it for my mom, who has problems finding nice jackets that fit properly.  Love all the details, and the soft collar drape.

8475 – Typical man’s shirt/jacket.  The hood is a cool option, but otherwise it seems very similar to a lot of other men’s patterns.

Vintage Releases:

5227 – 1960s Vintage accessories. I always appreciate when a vintage accessory release comes out – it really helps pull a vintage look together.

8452 – 1950s Vintage top.  This shirt actually feels very modern.  Love the way it looks paired with a classic pencil skirt.

8456 – 1950s Vintage petticoat.  Again, it’s great when the vintage accessories are available, as proper undergarments are critical to achieving a real period look.

8458 – 1950s Vintage skirt.  Love the option with the buttons on the front – super cute!

8460 – 1950s Vintage dress and jacket.  It looks so classy and elegant.

8461 – 1940s Vintage.  The great thing about this pattern is it comes in an expanded plus size range!  The jacket also has some really lovely seaming detail.

8462 – 1940s Vintage.  Love this look.  Together it looks very 1940s, but I’s love to pair that top with jeans, or the jacket with a contrasting sheath dress to make the pieces more versatile.

8463 – 1940s Vintage.  Very classic 1940s style with the peplum design.

8464 – 1950s Vintage.  The boxy jacket isn’t my favorite 50s look, but it is very iconic of the era.

Cosplay:

8476 – Super Mario Princess Peach costume.  Super cute!

8477 – The kids version.

8478 – Super Mario adult costumes.  I sort of wish the girl was rocking the mustache.  Just because it would be hilarious.

8479 – Princess Elena children’s costume.  This is the point at which I admit I’m old and haven’t seen the source material, but I do know she is a really popular princess with the younger crowd.

8480 – Generic star lady costume.  Love how it was styled for Jyn Erso (Star Wars) and as Zoe Washburne (Firefly).  Definitely a lot of options and versatility here.

8481 – The superhero/vintage mashup is quite a popular trend among the con-going crowd; I expect this will be a popular pattern.

8482 – Can’t go wrong with a sexy full length coat.

8483 – This is a great kids pattern – lots of versatility with some pretty basic pattern pieces.

8486 – Love this Vintage Snow White costume!  Super cite.

8487 – Kids Snow White costume.

8489 – Adult Snow White costume.  Gotta love the classics.

8490 – Kids Cinderella.

8491 – Adult Cinderella.

Toys and Crafts:

8484 – America Girl doll clothes.  The little jacket is really cute!

8485 – Pillow cubes?  Are these a thing?

And that’s it!  On the whole I have found a lot of things I like, but not a ton of stuff that needs to join the stash.  The cosplay patterns are great, and the vintage looks are really nice this time around but I’m less excited by the more modern releases.  The most exciting patterns are the coats, with strong looks coming from Mimi G., Ashley Nell Tipton, and the regular Simplicity line.  What do you all think?  Is Simplicity’s continuation of the ruffle trend more predictive of fall fashions than Vogue’s streamlined approach?  Are the ever-boxier 80s inspired silhouettes going to gain traction?  Is there anything here that makes you want to sew for fall?  Feel free to discuss in the comments!

Dress like Zoe Alleyne Washburne from Firefly - Costume & Cosplay Guide

[oldcolorful-cosplay]

Aviator-style green jacket: Forever 21; I expected to end up buying a vintage or surplus military jacket, but this was good enough to mimic the jacket that Zoe Washburne wears when she isn’t wearing her long duster coat. I think that similar jackets have been sold by H&M and other inexpensive “fast fashion” shops.
