Saber Lily { oo1 }

It has officially begun! I've officially started on my newest cosplay :). I'm almost finished with her wig, in all its (newb) glory! It's only the second time I've worked with extensively styling a wig, (and can I just say the first time was a certifiable disaster), so overall I'm really happy with it! I'm loving EpicCosplay's wigs as well! They're so soft and I love the matte-ness of the fibers, and the easy stylibility--(not sure if thats a word?!) of the bangs!

Moving on--
I've placed my order for the TV 103 Elliptical Cage Crinoline + Bone Casing from Truly Victorian this morning to start work on the cage for Saber Lily. I've decided to go with this because I really would like a good structure for the rest of the dress and armor. I already know that I'm going to drastically shorten the cage, as her dress only goes to just below the knee but it has the right shape :). I can't wait for it all to get here so I can start working on her, as Saber Lily has always been such a dream cosplay to attempt! (I know I say that a lot 'dream cosplay' but there are so many fabulous costumes out there that I can't not want to cosplay them ALL!)

Epic Loots { oo2 }

Well, I'm back from ALA and had a BLAST!!! I walked away from con happy and I'm totally going to go again next year, I didn't buy much this year, but I did manage to purchase two wigs from Epic Cosplay. I've heard about them, and to be honest I've stuck with Arda until now, but I loved the color swatches I saw in person, and so far the wigs are beautiful. They're soft and silky and I like that they have long bangs. I ended up buying two butt length wigs, one in a very pale silvery white and one in a pretty pale yellow blonde; for irisviel and saber respectively. I like the colors a lot, as one of my few complaints with Arda is that their wigs don't seem to hold bang styling really well, and their blondes are slightly too fakey cartoony for me. Still we'll see!

On another note I got 9 ribbons this year :D, I'm thinking of passing one out next year ^3^, but we'll see! I'm excited to start working on Saber, so see you on the flip side!

It's time. I've rested enough and I'm ready to take on a challenging cosplay again! I've always loved Saber, in fact she--next to Sheryl is one of my all time favorite characters! I met my boyfriend bonding over Fate/Stay Night--and I thought he was chill because he liked Saber too! ...well that sounds nerdy @__@. Anyway, I love her and after starting Fate/Zero I've been re-reminded and fired up! I'm going to do Saber Lily though, because I love this design and we're going to be trying out armor for the first time. I plan on doing Saber's main outfit if this goes well :). I'm just really excited to start working on this costume, because I definitely think that it'll be a challenge ^3^ but I've rested enough after doing Jane and I'm feeling energized and ready to take on another difficult project!
