I recently started cosplaying but haven't fully told my mum yet. She knows i have the cosplay and i don't think shes too positive about me having a cosplay but shes allowing it (since i spent my money on it).

I have just started the video but omg I love this design!! she will suit you so good!! im really excited to watch the video

If you want stiff hems use horsehair braid. It adds floof and the undulating hem look.

I made TWO petticoats using your short petticoat tutorial (ribbon and all!) last year I gave them the name "Tapa calzones 3000" (Panty-cover 3000) and absolutely loved them! Now I was looking for a tutorial on how to make a stronger and shorter petticoat to lift a high-low circle dress and make it more fluffy, and turns out you did that as well!! You're a live saver, thank you so much. 💖 Btw, I'd love to translate the tutorials I've used in Spanish while making vlogs on the cosplays I make. If I credited you both verbally in the video and linked your video in the description, would it be okay to recreate them in Spanish? 😊

excited to see the continuation of this project :)

Would a paint spray gun help with the dying in the future ? I know my son used one for modelling and I have seen a KZfaq channel using one, the skirt and petticoat turned out great, and all hail stabby mcstabby.❤

Collecting cosplayers youtubers to watch while I make cosplays like pokemon cards

Ma'am Stabby McStabFace Stab Stab....

Been watching for the past year but only had the guts to comment now. When you said “I wanted to fail without evidence,” it resonated with me. I am okay at sewing but horrendous at props and sculpted accents. As a novice cosplayer, I admire your craft so much, and hearing that even Kirilee gets embarrassed sometimes means more than I can say. Thank you for continuing to show your honest and open process, every vid, every time.

You carried on, go you! When I’ve been feeling like this in a project I’ve given up. So good to see you have troubles and continue, I’ll learn from you, thanks

stab stab!

It's such a fun skirt! Go forth and stab! 💜

I’m literally sitting here crying because I’ve spent the last few hours beating myself up for being fat and looking masculine. Thankyou for this video, I needed to hear something positive.

I love stretch fabric! Another tip I can give is use a walking foot. It feeds the fabric through evenly and prevents the fabric from sliding around.

*stab, stab* cosplay disappointment happens im sure you can save it enough so you will at least be ok with wearing it out and about

Niffty is one of the characters I've always wanted to make. For me, she'll be half a closet cosplay, half DiY cosplay, and half commissioning a knife for her since I want it to look just like the angelic dagger she used in the show. The ready made part being a blouse with puff sleeves I already own, a chiffon scarf I made ages ago, and a pair of black and white sneakers. The only part I will be making is the skirt, which I'm debating on using a plain red or a red and black plaid for a 1950s school girl vibe, and a built in petticoat, built on a cotton yoke with some black organza. I'm debating whether or not to make a matching bow out of the skirt fabric to put into her hair or just make it black. What is your opinion on my cosplan? I need feedback, thanksies

Omg. I really love your enthusiasm. You always make me smile. Love love love you.

Stab stab!!! I love how it’s looking thus far and I’m glad you show all the struggles. Thanks for all you do!!!

Oh my god the gradient dying pain!! Also the added difficulty level of gradient dying things like circle skirts or weird shaped pieces. I'm glad you got through it and it's looking fantastic! I hope you take a bit of a break though so you don't burn out after such a tricky one.

one of my favorite cosplay youtubers making one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite shows???? i'm so excited to see how this turns out, i'm sure it'll be super awesome!!!! and of course, 'yay! pain!'

Thank you so much , scallop is my new obsession!

Hermoso!!!!!!, gracias por el tutorial, saludos desde Perú.

You are fantastic 😊😊😊😊

The petticoat looks amazing! I want to make one in a similar style for a double circle skirt. Do you think a half circle skirt will be enough, or better to go with full circle?

**maniacal laughter**

Lol 😂. You have a great sense of humor!

I feel late for some reason 🤔 But I wanna ask if a simple tutu would work temporarily

If i was to create a big poofy organza sleeve that folds the cuff in the bottom, what adjustments would i need to make to the sleeve block? I currently have it printed out in 2 a4 sheets im doing a melanie martinez cosplay btw and need to finish the dress today

how did you cut the steel boning?

me and my mom have been making cosplays for Halloween since i ahve been like 5. then when i was like 10 i found out what cosplay is and when i turned like 11 i asked my mom if she could help me create an uraraka cosplay. somehow i won a small local cosplay comp after that i got more into it and have been able to do alot alone. my mom still helps me alot i love her. she even went aas shinobo with me and my brother to a con (we were nezuko and tanjiro). i think i may be turning her into a cosplayer slowly LOL

Thank you!!!

Interfacing is hard paper violin?

Ive never bought fabric before but i love to learn about things like this. Making quality clothes with beautiful fabrics is a lovely idea. I fell in love with nippori for all the mom and pop shops I visited. Would love to get some fabric next time.

Thank you so much for including all the WCS skits for us to watch! !! It made me so happy getting to feel like I experienced it live too!! Also I hope you felt okay omg not feeling your best on a con day is the worst thing ever >.<

This was so helpful, thank you! I'm entering my first contest this winter and I sp want to go about it right. A question regarding references: if the character is from a book with a very clear description but few usable illustrations, what do you use as reference pictures? I'm mostly going on fan art, and everyone has their own idea what the character really looks like.

Kirilee you’re such a mind reader!!!! I was doing research for how I could make a petticoat with “just a liiiitle but more structure” and this comes up!!! Thank you for being such an awesome cosplay teacher and sharing your knowledge with us! 👍🌈

This is the best tutorial😭!! We were recently tasked by our teacher in English to make a dress about gods and goddesses , then i started designing my dress and i wanted it to not be a flat dress, thank you so much for your instructions 😭😭😭😭. P. S. I'm a highschooler that does notknow anything about dresses or fabric wish me luckkkk

I needed a simple hoop for my daughter’s princess dress that I’m making, and this looks so perfect! Thank you!

Would love to see more of these cosplay challenges with limits, especially with other types, like armor. As much as I appreciate the work that cosplayers put into their cosplayers, sometimes it feels like too much effort and hours.

1:51 what size is the fold?

💙💚💛💜💛💚💙 Thanks

Is it possible to hand-sew this? I'm attempting to start my first cosplay soon(right now I'm in the "digging around for car change to fund the cosplay" phase) and I don't have a sewing machine or the money to purchase a sewing machine 😅

Thenk

Thankyou for sharing this precious and amazing story ❤❤❤❤ Truly inspiring!!

Thank you for making this! This is such a great build book tutorial. So clean and to the point.

What a fun, poofy skirt!!
