\nToday I’m going to be uploading some WIP shots of my Love Live! School Idol Project cosplay. I made Kotori Minami’s “\u30e6\u30e1\u30ce\u30c8\u30d3\u30e9” (Yume no Tobira) outfit from their 15th album, which appeared season 2×3 of the anime ^^ I have a huge soft spot for flowers, pastel gradients, bridal satin, and chiffon, so this costume was so fun to work on. I still have some things to touch up on (especially the gradient dye on the chiffon — it came out too light!) but overall I was really happy with how it turned out!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe chiffon overlay! I draped the chiffon over a dressform, then baste stitched a line across the bust, gathering it until it circled around to a way I liked it. I then blindstitched the chiffon onto the dress. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe ruffles on both the dress and around my arms were made of a large single layer of ribbon that I hand-pleated (shown above). To get the edges, I sewed a trim of wired organza ribbon for a prettier look. Kotori has two sets of ruffles on her dress, but I was afraid it’d be too bulky, so the wired ribbon sort of acts like a faux-double layer. I might add a second layer of softer fabric in the future, though! After that I sewed 2 basting stitches down the center to make a gentle gather.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nPinning the ruffles onto the dress!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nNext I created my own arm ruffles using the same ribbon and wired organza. This time sewing to both edges because I wanted the look to be symmetrical. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\nMy cat loves to sleep on my fabric\/me while I’m working, and after I’d finished my first arm ruffle, I had an idea…..<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n……and the result LOL.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nHAHAHAHA! She sat there for awhile before getting tired of it and wiggled out.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nHere’s the drape of the chiffon on my form! I was so sad that after I finished the edges the cascade wasn’t nice anymore \ud83d\ude41 I’m still learning how to handle chiffon.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nHere’s how the dress looks so far ^^ Kotori has more of a center dip in the bodice, but I personally liked the straight waist more on me.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nTest look of most of the pieces together!! I ran out of blue fabric so I couldn’t do a circle skirt like I wanted LOL! Adding the trim later. Still have to dye the overlay before I attach it to the dress!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nMy lil’ helper… laying down on my flowers… bein’ cute.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nAs you can see the blue and pink gradient on the chiffon ended up too light ^^; It was my first time dyeing chiffon and while I was happy with it at the time it totally got washed out in photos (and in person too… I went too subtle haha)!. Along the edge of the blue fabric (and mirrored in my choker) is a trim of white rickrack.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\nMaterials Used<\/h3>\n
\nBridal satin (white)<\/i><\/div>\n
\nChiffon (white)<\/i><\/div>\n
\nSatin ribbon (white, blue)<\/i><\/div>\n
\nWhite organza wired ribbon<\/i><\/div>\n
\nWhite rickrack<\/i><\/div>\n
