what you will need:
1. pink fabric, about 4 yards of 44/45" or 3 of 58/60" light pink is best.
2. half a yard of red fabric u can opt for a bigger bow with 58/60" but i would opt for 44/45''
3. a large bell, you can probably find one at micheal's or hobby lobby
4. a small bell (or gold felt and an orange marker)
5. 2 sheets of felt, one a light pink and one black
6. red faux fur trim
7. pink faux fur
8. hot glue gun or double sided tape
9. correspoding pink and red thread
10. knowledge of basic stiches, or a trustworthy reference
11. shears
12. a sewing machine. if you don't have one look for singer or brother. if you choose not to use a sewing machine i suggest looking for a no sew kit at your local craft store. if you are hand sticthing pick up lots of needles, time, and DEFINETLY patience!!!
13. a hot/bubblegum pink wig within similar style to ichigo's hair. i suggest the scruffy wig at hellocosplay.com.
maroon wrist gloves and a matching faux fur trim.
14. pink boots (google ichigo momomiya boots if you get stuck to see what they look like. if they pop up online be prepared to splurge about $50!)
15. 1/4'' elastic
16.straight pins
17. french curve
18. lots of black pipe cleaners
19.claw clip
*BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING*
-fabric measurements are estimates. the formula to find exact measurements is:
1 (waist size) wide x 30'' tall
+
1 (hipsize + 10 inches) wide x 18-20'' tall
+
1 yard extra for garters and choker
- for fabric type i suggest kona cotton. lots of run-of-the-mill ichigo costumes use shiny fabrics like satin, silk or even lining. those selections are all inaccurate to her costume as it is not meant to be shiny. kona cotton is really expensive so if you cannot afford it i suggest polyester or other matierials.
-the pattern for strapless top is from one yard wonders; the pattern for the skirt is made by me.
How to:
part 1: top
1) cut out the pieces. which is your bust size +3 wide and 30 inches tall cut in half. use the french curve to shape the top of one of the pieces.
2) on the inside stitch the two pieces together with a french seam. do the same with the other side.
3) hem the bottom.
4) sew the red faux fur to the top of your top. then stitch 4 lines with the red thread to the top vertical. if top is still lloose sew in some elastic to the top.
part 2: skirt
1. cut out your skirt pieces. it should be hip size + 10 inches wide and 20 inches tall. then cut in half.
2) hem the skirt sides.
3. sew the elastic into the top of the skirt and into the bottom.
4) take your remaining pink fabric and cut really long triangles. sew them two in front two in back to your skirt. the 2 in front should be 5'' shorter then the 2 in back.
part 3: garters, choker, ears, tail
1. sew the garters. they are (bicep or thigh width) wide by 4 inches tall. you need 2 biceps andi right thigh.add red faux fur to the edges of garters if desired.
2. take pink fabric for a 2'' tall x 24'' wide rectangle. add red faux fur to the edges. sew on the bell or your oval shaped felt to the middle of your choker. when you want to wear it tie it.
3. cut two 4 inch triangles out of black felt and 2 2 inch triangles out of pink felt. glue or stick the pink triangle to the black one and fold the ear in half. glue the bottom edges toghether. stuff with pink faux fur. repeat the same process with other ear, insert bobby pins and pin to wig.
4. take the claw clip and start to braid pipe cleaners to it. knot more pipe cleaners on until tail reaches desired length. hem all 4 edges of red fabric. tie red fabric into a bow on tail. attach large bell to the pipe cleaner knot closest to the knot of the bow. clip tail in between the two back triangles.
now you have made your costume. just put on your choker, garters, boots, top, skirt, tail, gloves, and wig. you have now made your ichigo momomiya costume!! enjoy!! :)
