Vector patterns and accessories by Sparkle Pipsi! Except for the headband, I made that.

Used my vinyl cutter for perfect patterns for the applique. I hand-cut everything because I didn't have a fabric blade yet and wouldn't have trusted it for this project anyway. All pieces were applied with Heat N Bond because it's the best thing ever. All fabrics are soft t-shirt knit Pipsi found in the LA Fashion District and I cut up an old t-shirt for my base pattern. Garter thingies are two kinds of elastic sewn together with fuzzy tanuki balls and ribbon hot glued on top. Headband is covered in cheap costume satin I've had forever, I made the bow with two layers of satin and HNB. No sewing and no corners to turn. #HEROOFCOSPLAY status.

Already had my skirt (fabric designed by Sparkle Pipsi) so easy costume yay!
