Hello everypony!
as some of you know, i loooove creating costumes. from the first sketch to the realisation.
in the past, i did and/or helped partially on quite some pony-costumes too and i would like to share.
critique is always welcome!! probably it would be interesting for some how these costumes are made. ^^
Some of you may have seen the costumes for the grand gala cosplay project i did with a bunch of friends. here are some costumes of the project! :frolic:
Costume making start for me often with a basic theme, color combination or like this case, with a pokemon, animal of pony.
i do a bunch of loose sketches, considering thier culture, place in society and the physical apereance and likings of the person wearing the costume.
let´s start with celestia, one of my favorites:

inspired by the art nouveau style from alphonse mucha, highness celestia got this dress with soft flowing fabric and golden applications.
this is how the final costume looked like:

but let´s start from the beginning, my first costumes have been leafy and lucky leaf.
leafy was my first cosplay ever. Ona, who was lucky leaf was a wonderfull partner for this duo! ;o;
we´re planning a more sophisticated redesign in flowery dirndl-style of them for septembers german ponycon. *excited*
