Another Link Legend of Zelda Costume post...

I finally got around to converting a my white turtle neck to Link's white tunic by slitting it down the middle, hemming it and adding the criss-cross rope detail. I really hope the last week of October is going to be FREEZING COLD because if it's not I'm going to be sweating buckets wearing the turtle neck, the knitted chain maille, the green tunic, white tights, knee high boots and carrying the shield and sword. And here is my Master Sword and Hylian Shield in all it's glory!! I'm debating on whether or not I should make the scabbard for my sword. Do I have time ?? I have so many other in queue projects that must be completed by the end of next week...

Legend of Korra costume : Korra's top

I decided to go ahead and make the costume, whether I wear it a Comic Con is another matter. I didn't want to use Lycra and have it look like a bodysuit, so I went with a twill type fabric with some stretch. It's much thicker than Lycra so it will have some structure and will be able to hold my fat in. This top was definitely a pain in the butt to make. I had to adjust and re-adjust over 30 times. I nearly gave up. I started with the Kwik Sew pattern 2943. This was definitely the wrong pattern to use. The sleeveless turtleneck is very boxy and very loose. Even when I used the S size (and I'm usually closer to a L in everday tops) it was HUGE and very non flattering. I had to add darts, reshape the waist, take in the shoulders, reshape the turtleneck and change the shape of the armholes. What a PAIN!! After 3 days I'm finally done and quite happy with the final product. The 2nd version is definitely much better than my first one.
