Series:  Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest

Costume Creation: All of the purple on the costume (the cape, gloves, top of hip pieces, and thigh pieces) is a 4-way stretch knit fabric.  The cape and the loin clothes have bias tape I custom created specifically for added detail.  The rest of the costume (chestpiece individual pieces, gloves pieces, underwear, thighs, and chin armor) is covered in regular double wide gold bias tape, about 21 yards throughout the whole costume.  The chestpiece is sectioned into 3 parts. The top is a regular bra i had and stitched in by hand a pyramid fancy bias for along the top line edge.  The middle section were 12 individual triangle pieces, 3 mm craft foam covered in worbla, layered in 4 layers of gesso, sanded, painted, then glued gold bias individually into each piece and the last step was simply gluing all of the pieces together.  The bottom section is 6mm black foam glued around the bottom edge.  The chestpiece laces up in the back to act as a corset.  The strap is a nylon base covered in a black lining fabric with single wider red bias tape for the straps.  The top is a 6mm craft foam clip I made and pinned in to the Cape part of the costume.  The hip pieces are also 6mm craft foam, coated in wood glue for sturdiness.   The thigh and shin armor pieces are actually 2mm craft foam used as interfacing and I machine stitched the fabric overtop.  The reason I went this route is because Camilla's leg armor doesn't really come across as full armor.  So I wanted to do something that was more of an extra cushion for armor rather than the same armored look of the chestpiece.  The knee armor is 6mm craft foam covered in plastidip since the knee is more mobile and needs more flexibility.  The wig headpiece is just molded from black worbla and I definitely want to remake it soon since it was rushedly made in like 15 minutes.

The axe prop is a 2 inch diameter wooden dowel rod with the actual axe being 2 inch insulation foam covered in black worbla and simple as that! <3
