About this Costume
Construction Details:
So nothing in this hot mess was particularly difficult, but it was really time-consuming because of our fabric choices. After months of scouring the garment district for a suitable gold, glittery fabric that would work for a suit, we gave up and decided to try backing gold spandex with interfacing and cotton broadcloth. Pros of this idea: Perfect color and glittery-ness. Cons of this idea: - Almost everything else. Most spandex will happily fuse with both of these things (if you're careful not to melt it with your iron), though there are other things to watch out for (like the fact that the interfacing will rip if you look at it funny). As you can see, we got it to work in the end, but it took forever. I would not recommend this to other people unless they really felt it was the only choice - it's just so much extra work.
Personal Thoughts:
This idiocy brought to you by that one time that Hazard said, "you know, if we both cosplayed Pariston at the same time, we could be PAIRiston."

Wig Review
So the wig looks great for Pariston, but it's very, very tight on my head and itchy as all hell. The fibers also seem unusually thick to me - not the wefts, the fibers themselves - which I think adds to the itchiness.
