About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
I draped her lab-coat like dress on my dressform and then sewed it out of a white linen-like woven fabric. The collar has a facing. The dress features a yoke and canter back seam in the back and a button plaquette in the front. I constructed the entire dress with flat-felled seams and rolled all the hems so that there were no open edges
The pants were modified from an existing pants pattern, I just shortened the pattern to capris. I made them out a black stretch twill so that I'd be able to move around and do cool martial arts poses with the pants still being fitted. Once again, flat-felled seams and rolled hems. I also added an elastic waistband.
The jacket was made using the pattern I made for my Winry jacket (it's basically the same cut). I made it out of a purple stretch twill and flat-felled all my seams and rolled all my hems.
The shoes were originally tan/brown slide sandals that I purchased at Target and then I painted them purple and added the W.C. logo with acrylic paint.
The wig will be discussed below but this was probably the most intense wig I've ever styled.
I draw the flamel tattoo on with a red lipliner pencil (the same one I use for Tanjiro's scar) - Personal Thoughts:
- She's such a cool character and I feel so cool as her

- Styling Notes
- This wig began as a long curly wig, clearly it took a long time to style. I started by separating out the "dreads" by braiding sections together. I then tested my ponytail and began to work out the dreadlocks by unbraiding each section, teasing them, smoothing them a bit, twisting them tightly, spraying them with water, clamping them in a flat iron, then heavily hairspraying them, clamping them again, and hair drying them to make them hold their shape. I did this 30+ times. Then I left two dreads for the bangs and two for the pieces that hang down from her ears and pulled the rest into a high ponytail slowly and carefully to not change the shape of the cap too drastically. I added a white scrunchy to the base of the ponytail and it was finally done!
- Wig Review
- Lots of hair to work with for intense styling and very roomy cap.
Plus it was very heat resistant because I put it thorough a lot
