Sunday, 15 February 2015. Costume/cosplay meme day 20. 20 Have you won any cosplay awards? I've only been in one costume contest, and I didn't win anything then. In 2011 someone posted a list of 10 best stormtrooper versions, and had a picture of me in the cancan trooper as nr 3. Too bad I didn't save that list. :(. 1 Your first cosplay. 2 How many costumes have you done? 3 Your most recent cosplay. 4 Your cosplay communities, where do you go to talk about cosplay? 5 Blatant self plug! 19 What is your wo...

costumekullan: 18th century hair styling
http://costumekullan.blogspot.com/2015/08/18th-century-hair-styling.html
Sunday, 9 August 2015. 18th century hair styling. So over the last days I've tried to style my hair in 18th century styles. I can do a decent pouf, as seen here. But that has never been my favorite hairstyle, and at least at the moment my 18th century wardrobe is a bit later than when the pouf was fashionable. Of course I am dreaming of one day having a huge hedgehog hairstyle, but in order to achieve that I would need to style a wig, and now I only had my own hair to work with. This close up from Staber...

Tuesday, 28 July 2015. Presenting Nordic Reel Icons. When Henrik and Anna had their panel about cosplay at NärCon they presented the Nordic Reel Icons initiative. In a way it's a branching out of what the 501st and Rebel Legion do, in that the goal is to have screen accurate costumes, and use them to work for charity. I think it's easier to just paste the description from their site:. Reel Icons consists of well known characters from many different universes and span all ages. Or the Nordic Reel Icons Fa...

costumekullan: March 2015
http://costumekullan.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 March 2015. So the pleating of the gold handmaiden is taking a lot of time, but it's worth it. When I started thinking about this dress I thought I was going to do proper box pleats and simply press them down. When I started to fiddle with the fabric I realized that I couldn't make them tiny enough though, so I had to come up with a different process. First I marked up the whole fabric with straight lines, around 0,7 cm between them. Saturday, 28 March 2015. And dived into my stash to find wha...

costumekullan: An afternoon at Staberg
http://costumekullan.blogspot.com/2015/08/an-afternoon-at-staberg.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. An afternoon at Staberg. In front of the early 19th century house. Looking out over the garden, with the 17th century mansion in the background. By the hop garden. By one of the outhouses. The daisy hat is definitely a hat where you need to be aware of the wind direction. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lord of the Rings. Maria of Habsburg gown.

costumekullan: May 2015
http://costumekullan.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 May 2015. A kind of Edwardian hat. So at the Railway museum I wore quite a large hat. The thing with the hat is that I'm not too happy with the details of it, but the sum is larger than the parts and I just loved walking around this big hat, and I got quite a few compliments on it as well. It all started with this hat, that I prepared at the hat making day earlier in April. In the end I felt that I had cut down the crown too much, and it didn't feel very Edwardian, definitely more Georgian.

costumekullan: October 2014
http://costumekullan.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 October 2014. Halloween is coming up, and of course it's a great reason to get dressed up in costume! Halloween in Sweden is basically that, a reason for private parties or night clubs to have a masquerade. The sad thing though is that if you just google "woman costume halloween" it seems as if the only choice for a woman when it comes to costumes is to wear a corset and skimpy skirt. Google top hit "woman police costume". And isn't it a lot more interesting to follow their directions to creat...
