Bunny suit commission for Fanime. Fully boned with 3 layers- Holo pvc outer layer interfaced with SF101, duck canvas strength layer, and fully lined inner layer

My first time working with spiral steel boning and grommets! I love how much better the fit is compared to client's original premade

The maids explained getting dressed was a hassle since the last iteration had it in 3 separate pieces: apron, skirt, and bodice with a lace-up back. I combined the 3 pieces into one zip-back dress for quick changes and easier wear.

also custom tags for every maid!

Straps kept slipping off in the previous iteration. I repatterned the straps to angle toward the center for better stay, and added adjustable buttonholes at the back for fit adjustments.

Shirred back for comfort, mobility, and size inclusivity.

Last iteration had issues with durability. To improve durability, I used real flat felled seams (not faux!) , which fully enclose the raw edges, are stronger, and also create a clean channel for the boning. Also lined the bodice so there are no visible side or waist seams

This still uses premade aprons, but the original hems were visually not as clean and not very durable, so I replaced them with rolled hems for a cleaner look that’ll hold up better over time

Basque waist! They were about to give up on the V-shaped waist because the bodice kept wrinkling and flipping up, but I really wanted to make it work since it’s such a fun and unique detail! I added rigilene boning for structure without sacrificing mobility. Video of bow test since maid cafe

kind of a build log, more of a build dump lol

My latest commission: revising Machi Mahou's uniform! Lyra reached out to upgrade their existing design, and it was a super fun project that really pushed my skills 💜⁣

digitizing the gold flower design and testing vinyl for the blue triangle hem on her skirt. I don't like how the vinyl weighs down the chiffon so testing other options!

I'm using a boob plate for this build, so figuring out how to pattern for it!

For Virtuous Treaty, I intended to make it disassemble-able for transport, but it did not work out 😅 great experience for future big props though!

Pants! I'm petite and short-legged, so it's nice to make something I know will fit and has pockets

I was shocked by how many people recognized me as Robotech Lisa Hayes at Anime Los Angeles this year 🥹

thanks y'all for yapping with me about this 40 year old dead series
