Boa Hancock Cosplay Tutorial - Thermo-Vinyl ! - [One Piece] Black and White kimono

 

Another comission I made last september! Boa hancock black and white kimono from the anime one piece! here you can lear how i made the skirt, top, belt and cape accompained by a full on step by step youtube tutorial:

Top:

For this part I used a regular shirt pattern, open in the middle, and adapted the shape so it would have the characteristic triangle kimono neck, sew both white and black sides together and a red lace around the neck's opening. 

for the sleeves i cut out a wave shape 4 times and sew them together into another piece of fabric getting the rectangle you can see in the image, which i then sew at the end of each sleeve and also added a black and yellow ribbon around the edges,

For the cape-cloak I only cut out a rectangle shape on pink and black fabrics, sew them together and attatched it into the kimono top, for the shoulder thingy I cut out the shape on EVA foam and covered it with hot glue and golden fabrics as well as glueing a golden strip around the edge.

Thermoadhesive vinyl:

For this cosplay I used a new material I've never tryed before, and surprisingly, the result was amazing!

 It's a very easy-to-use material, you just have to cut out the desired shape, heat with your iron and remove the protective plastic and you'll get a clean professional printed pattern on your clothes ! 

It's ideal for patterns like boa's skulls or other not too complicated patterns, since otherwhise you would need a vynil machine and those are quite expensive...

EXTRA DETAILS:

i made the golden circles around the skull patterns with golden fabrics glued into the skirt with lining, and I made the belt with a rectangle shaped piece of purple elastic fabrics.
