glitteringstarsSo a friend of mine gave me a cosplay bug, and she's sent me down a rabbit hole.
The basic concept she's tossed at me is this: vague princess vibes mixed with the Dratini line. I volunteered for Dratini, and started thinking about how I can make something interesting out of it (while also being able to wear it on non-cosplay occasions).
My immediate idea was to go for an A-line style skirt, and because I've been playing a lot of Dragon Age lately, my immediate thought was for Western medieval Europe. It fits the general silhouette I'm thinking of and it would make me learn drafting (it's also incredibly forgiving by the looks of it).
A quick look up and I found this really neat tutorial from a historical sewing website.
I just need to do a bit more research on what's made by those in the reenactment community.
