Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Maybe it is the best time for me to switch to some open source editing software ...

so astonished that i have never heared of the existence of โœจseparating invisible zippersโœจ
I have never seen one in a store!
Just learned that they exist from a nice clock app person and researched it and been baffled since then

I wore the cosplay with my friends to DeDeCo 2020 - right before Covid and then for Bookfair 2023
Unfortunately I never got around to taking pretty photos of it even if i really like how it turned out

The last part was all some more details on the boots, some bows, pins and the wig

While doing that i learned that when you dyed something with iDyePoly and dye it again - it first loses the previous dyed colour
not sure if that is different for different materials
it it made redying the fur easier

Next was the bolero - i had to dye some fake fur for it bc i couldn't find some in the right colour
I dyed it twice before i could get the right shade

Then i frankenstein some lace on some skin toned tulle - handsewing that lifted my mood, then i could add some gold ruffles and then i was finally finished with that piece!
I was so relieved it was done~

Fixed that so i could actually try it on ... but that zipper broke AGAIN
Mentally that was a really hard time for me bc i was frustrated and felt like i failling again and again
but i pushed through so i could finish the costume~

... and then the bodice was a cursed.
First i burned the white fabric while ironing on the patches.
After i replaced the burned fabric i sewed on the patches by hand, added a lining, a zipper and then the zipper broke before i even tried it on

For the bodice i began with making a base an lay a pattern with gold iron on patches on it - its not exactly like in the reference but its close enough for me

Next was the skirt!
I lined it with tulle to make it a lil bit more stable because the added weight of the pearls
The tulle also helps holding ruffles in place

Started with the hats for my lil cosplay group
Making four hats felt a bit like mass production, even if its just four hats
Adding the trim and the pearl details was fun โœจ
