Series: Design inspired by Sheik from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Costume Creation: Dark green and black 4 way stretch knit fabric the shirt, and gloves.  The outlining is simply white bias tape and then leftover red fabric I embroidered in by machine onto the shirt at the end.  I doubled cotton lining for the shorts with a custom bridal lace along the bottom.  The waist is literally a crap ton of leftover fabric wrapped around me to accentuate the hips to appear larger for an overall.  The shoulder fabric is the blue brocade from the Yaya Han line at Joann's with white bias along the top and red rope  tied along the bottom.  The hip pieces are simply EVA foam with self-rolled 2mm craft foam glued along the edges for added dimension then coated in plasti-dip.  I created my own stencil for the design.  The bracelets were a similar technique where I used 2mm craft foam with 2mm craft foam rolls for the edges and hand painted the details.  The cape, hood, and 2 layered skirt I used a polyester sheer off-white fabric that was simply spray dyed over a gradient for the cape and top skirt.  The sandals were created from scratch using a thick lining with a heavy iron on interfacing, glued in between two pieces of 6mm foam.  The wig I styled into the side braid, wrapped the bottom in 2mm foam, covered that in an off-white fabric to hide the foam look, and wrapped that in the same red threading.
