Military Dress Porrim - Homestuck

I got home at 9:30 with my friends when we were about to have a sewing party at my house, I saw the update and shrieked “I’M GOING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT NOW”. My lovely friend Gianna who’s a photographer jokingly said “if you finish it tonight i’ll shoot you in the morning!” and then shit got real.

I worked on the dress from 10:00pm to 5:30am, plus one extra daylight savings hour, so the costume took me 8 1/2 hours to make, I didn’t actually make it that quickly!! The dress is a princess seam bodice, which I serged and didn’t line to save time, and two circle skirts with horse hair hems and two layers of black gathered organza between them to give the skirt more lift. I happened to have green fabric for the bow tie, green fabric for the leggings, horse hair, black organza, and black cotton sateen laying around, which I used for the costume. I had a bunch of buttons which I spray painted gold, and a black belt from my Mom Lalonde costume, and the belt buckel was simply made with craft foam. I previously cosplayed Porrim so I already had her horns, piercings, make up and wig!! And that’s how this costume got made so fast!!!

Thank you so much for shooting me last minute giana, you're a dreamboat!!!
