Will we get more Lads in the future 👀👀👀👀

You radiate the fear of social anxiety.

Here are the final pictures of completion showing off the different angles and side closures for the jacket.

I ended up finding a lovely matching rib knit from Joann’s use for the gloves and leggings. It’s super stretch and comfy. The mittens use snaps to keep in place at the jacket sleeves so you can use phones while wearing it without having to fully take them off.

The extra underlayer should help with some additional modesty.

Here is the almost completed image with the parts all attached. The hood was drafted via image references from other hood like shapes from the internet. You can also see the cotton lining that was used for hood lining and partial bodice lining as well.

From there we went with the same motif for sleeves, a mix of heat and bond and stuffed fur to give it a bit more body.
First image - sleeves
Second sleeves with the skirt laid behind it
Third image ended up being the base skirt with bodice.

So we patterned the bodice out using a boxy t shirt. And decided to allow for an easy fit -aka avoiding closures by having it be tied open on the sides.

Being a cosplay made to be worn in the summer heat of Georgia and at Dragoncon. It was super important to use breathable materials. Here were some swatch options I found from fabricstore. We ended up choosing the shade wisteria which was perfect for the northern water tribe origins.
