Winter
Elf
This costume started with the idea "christmas elves, but make it fashion". Starleigh Cosplay again knocked it out of the park with a fantastic winter elf design, and I was able to make mine with materials I already had on hand plus some thrifted fabrics.
This is one of the first projects where I got to use my cricut for embellishments, and it was a lot of fun to experiment with a new tool!
The shot was cold but worth it. Holiday greetings from Rivendell!

Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice was my Halloween 2021 costume! Not cannon Beetlejuice exactly; this costume was inspired by the Monster High Beetlejuice doll. Cosplaying fashion dolls is so much fun because their outfits are always incredible.
The stripes on the jacket are drawn by hand and filled in with a sharpie marker, then outlined with a neon green highlighter.

On March 13th, 2020, a con I was travelling to was cancelled due to brand-new covid restrictions, and while I was driving back home I stopped at the fabric store and bought the materials for this cosplay. I mainly made it over that weekend, but in 2021 I revisited and finished elements that were incomplete.
Lucky for me, Starleigh Cosplay was nearby to shoot with me and their incredible Geralt adds so much to the shoot.

Clopin
Clopin was created as part of a stash-busting challenge during lockdown in 2020. He's always been a character that I liked, and I was lucky to have a bunch of purple and gold scraps left over from years of making dance costumes.
This entire costume is made with stretch fabrics, which means it came together fairly quickly but certain elements were tricky, namely the applique of stretch-on-strech fabrics for the strips on the legs, the peplum of the tunic, and the cowl.

Ruby of the Sea
I've always been a big fan of high fantasy costumes and garments, and when I started listening to Critical Role I knew it was a great opportunity to cosplay while also designing my own version of a character.
Shortly after starting on Campaign 2, I found out I was pregnant. When we finally got to meet Jester's mom, Marion Lavorre, I knew what I had to do.
This costume is features a lot of hand beading and embroidery, and is adjustable, so I am looking forward to wearing it in 2020 without the belly!
Ponyo
Hannah Alexander designs some of the most beautiful cosplays, and this Ponyo design is beautiful and bright and sparkly and really just a combination of all my favourite things.
The main dress is made from ombré chiffon, sparkly lace, and lots of beads and sparkly bits. I made the fishnet pearl trim myself, and the trim at the top is hand embroidered.
The flowers on the crown are made from craft foam and lots of glitter. The collar is made from sintra provided by Gwartzmans Art Supplies in Toronto, Ontario
Link
Like most gamers, I am obsessed with Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The Sheikah Armor was my absolute favourite set in the game.
When I was offered a guest spot at Next Level Video Game Convention in 2018, I jumped a the chance to make make it.
Most of this costume is made with a matte spandex, and the armour bits are craft foam. I bought white tabi boots that I painted to match.
Prince
Zuko
This Prince Zuko cosplay was made to compete in Costume Con 37's Single Pattern Contest. Every single piece you see here is adapted from a pattern piece in the McCall's 7676 pattern envelope, which is heavily inspired by the Marvel character Dr. Strange.
When I saw the lineart for the garments in this pattern, it looked to me like something that belonged in the Avatar: The Last Airbender Universe. And so, the idea for this version of Zuko was born.
This costume won "best in category" at the Costume Con 37 Single Pattern Contest.
Most of this costume is made from natural fibres (cotton twill, linen), and the gauntlets are made with leather.
Roxy
We are the Misfits! Our songs are better!
Roxy is a super fun cosplay to wear and rock out in. This was made for FanExpo Canada 2018 to go with a bigger Jem and the Holograms group.
This cosplay is made with spandex and jersey, with shiny black mystique appliqués on the leggings. Basically the most '80s fabulous workout wear you could imagine.
Sailor Saturn
Another beautiful Hannah Alexander design, this time of one of my favourite Sailor Moon characters, Sailor Saturn.
Making this cosplay was a pure joy and the prop, made by @poclecoq, is the perfect finishing touch.
This beautiful shot by @logfogfull is my favourite cosplay photo of myself.
This cosplay is made with a variety of materials: spandex, power mesh, craft foam, and satin. The boot covers stay up easily because they are actually sewn to nude leggings, so my shoes and pants are one and the same!
Dark Magician Girl
The cutest Yu-Gi-Oh! card brought to life!
I used Yaya Han's bunny suit pattern (McCall's M7398) to make the base, and then the rest of the costume is made mainly from craft foam, with some custom cast resin gems and a prop by @poclecoq. The hat is my favourite part!
Snow
White
When I saw @hakusai_hiro's beautiful Disney Princess fan art, I knew I just had to make Snow White. The big sleeves, the big skirt, and the amount of sparkly bits really make me so happy every time I put this outfit on.
I later made a more casual, kind of goth version of Snow White based on the pyjamas she wears in Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Other Work
I also make custom garments, costumes for theatre and dance, bespoke cosplays, and custom dolls.
