About this Costume
Construction Details:
All the designs on the hoodie/leggings/hat were done with heat transfer vinyl
Hoodie was bought and modified (sleeves shortened and removed front pocket) added the lines in heat transfer vinyl
Beanie was made with leftover fabric from the sleeves, stars and horse are heat transfer vinyl and horseshoe is just 6mm craft foam painted gold
Also the beanie has 2 little holes in the top for the hair sticky outties
Bought 2 pairs of metallic leggings off ebay (One to use as actual leggings and one to use as fabric for the shoes)
All the stars on the pants are heat transfer vinyl which wasn't the greatest choice since they didnt stretch with the fabric very well and they kind of all peeled off by the end of the con (WHICH I SORT OF WAS EXPECTING TBH.. though I think they make STRETCH heat transfer vinyl??) so when I remake the pants from scratch I'm going to sew on all the stars next time..
Bought some shoes from the thrift store, used leather paint I bought from joanns(which I don't think they sell in store anymore??I'm so sad) to paint the heel and then made boot covers that are glued on and I'm really happy with how they turned out for my first time
The arm warmers are just made with purple knit and the metallic spandex with heat transfer vinyl stripes and stars
Personal Thoughts:
Johnny was a kind of impulse cosplay that I did like a month before the con and kept it a secret haha.. There are a lot of things I need to fix and improve on this costume before I wear it again since its kind of in pieces now oop
Hopefully I'll be more satisfied with it next time!
