Protip from a seamstress that also makes bellydance costumes: if you sew through sequence, install a thick leather needle. Only broke two of those on six full costumes. ;)

I don’t play Shining Nikki, but I do play its predecessor, Love Nikki. And after seeing [Star Sea] made into a real outfit, I really wanted to see more suits as real clothes. So hearing my favorite cosplayer got paid to make a suit just made my heart burst with joy.

Same , Love Nikki was super fun

you can also use a hammer on those glass beads in the seam allowance and just crunch through them so you can sew. that way you arent trimming threads and risking losing a whole strand of sequins or beads if something comes loose

@@ghostsprobablyif you put the fabric with the beads facing down (or cover them), the shards will be contained. Then I'd suggest vacuuming it or carefully shaking it outside to get rid of the glass.

Genuinely consider this for your next convention because that dress is stunning, you can always redo the pauldrons- but that dress is absolutely magnificent Also you’re not lazy, this takes hours of hard work- give yourself a little more credit, you’re doing the best you can with the time you have ❤

I’m a carpenter/woodworker guy but I love watching someone make and follow a plan. That was impressive work. I was actually thinking about some coated stiff wire would make ok boning. I’m sure this is the first time I’ve thought about boning since home economics class. I credit home economics with my success as a modern old man. I’m sad that the class isn’t offered as much as it was in the 80s.

You can smack the glass beads with a hamer. So you keep the thread that holds other beads intact. And less time consuming. You look amazing

I love shining nikki and haven’t played it for the last few years because of time, but as soon as you showed the dress i was like “IS THAT SHINING NIKKI??” You did so good!!! It’s awesome to see a model dress come to life and I’m sure the devs for the game loved to see their creation irl as well ❤❤

came here from the shining nikki livestream & absolutely adored watching this and excited to see more of your videos!! ❤

Ooh this'll be great to watch while cutting fabric

Beautiful! It reminds me of Elsa's dress at the end of Frozen 2!

Not Sarah calling me out when I definitely used that sew through boning on a strapless dress (Dawn from pokemon)... :') My saving grace is I have A cups and the pattern was drafted excellently by Indigo Jinjo patterns but YEAH I was definitely playing with fire there unknowingly lol

i've seen angela clayton use a tiny hammer to carefully smash any glass beads in her seam allowances (and i think her industrial machine sews through sequins). so if you want a fast way to do it, even though you'll have to wear glasses (safety first!) and clean up a bunch of bead bits, the tiny-hammer approach may be for you.

Its a fun game!! This suit is a purple UR set. Which means its like super special. But also near impossible to get unless you pay for diamonds. But the story for this event is so so good

The moment i saw the thumbnail i IMMEDIATELY recognized it!!! I love shining nikki!!!! AND I ALSO LOVE SARAH!!!!!

So shine! Much sparkle! Wow!

You ate!!! You look so amazing!! Also sorry you were going through something - I hope things are getting better and you're feeling better!

you did so well! its STUNNING

I used to play Nikki when I had time to play with apps on my phone, it was awesome seeing you make something from it. Also, I love the color of your hair!

I've played Shining Nikki in the past and know how insane the UR suits are, it is truly insane that you pulled this off in only 2 months!

so cool!!! love the dress up game outfits and hope you can make a crazy costume like this again!

i love the finished costume!! gorgeous!

You did an amazing job!! I was so happy to see you in the live stream

I cri I had recovered from my shining Nikki addiction but this video pulled me back into it after being sober for 5 months.

I love this so much. I love the designs in Shining Nikki and Love Nikki so much. I've always loved seeing people bring them to life and i want to do that so much too wirh so many of the designs.

ive been watching these videos for about two years and its so cool to see you improve!!

This came out so beautiful and sparkly!!! You did an amazing job!!🤩✨💕✨💕

Omg Love Nikki and Shining Nikki are some of my absolute favorites games! I’m so happy you took on this project and it looks INCREDIBLE ❤

amazing work again!!! also i love the new hair

OMG You genuinely had me SQUEALING when I saw this!! Im a massive fan of you AND shining nikki, and You actually got me into trying to make some of the dresses I love from the game! I am SO in love with this thank you!!!!! This was a dream!!!

AHH THAT HAIR TRANSITION WAS EVERYTHING ❤❤❤

Cosplay looks awesome! Hope whatever was making you sad has passed (or at least got a little easier)

Wow that’s such a cute dress!! Some parts don’t really match up to the actual in game, (namely the choker isn’t nearly as detailed). But you only had two months so I think you did a amazing job!

I love shining nikki! Can't wait for the new game! The cosplay turned out beautifully!

The structure layer plus sheer skirt is so cute by itself

This is amazing!!!!

I played Love Nikki for years (and spent so much money), this is AMAZING, i am shaken

WOAH IT LOOKS SO GOOD!! it reminds me of white diamond from Steven universe in a way! But I love the designs and the glitter!!!!! YOU DID SO GOOD!!!

The dress design already looks so pretty I know this gonna be gorgeous

your editing has really been top tier lately!

OMG YESSS Hoping you do more Shining Nikki Cosplays!!

hope you're doing well and that the eva foam brought the nostalgia comfort you needed at the time

UR NEW HAIR COLORRRR OH MY GOOODDDD ITS SO PRETTTYYYY SWIDISIIF

My dream one day is to design a character SO cool, talented crafters like you will want to make it as a cosplay

2 months is a massive time, the most Ive made my cosplays is in a week and that was a whole fantasy medieval dress. I made a 1890s sheer dress, scaling the pattern and all, hell drawing the squares on the paper to scale it bc paper w gradients dont exist in my country, and it took 4 days

I wish the videos were longer 😩😩😩😩 but beautiful cosplay

I swear if I don’t ever get to see u cosplay Furina I’m going after u and make sure every single pull of a 5 star in genshin is qiqi worth every vid I watch a qiqi shrine will be around my computer

Since you had no idea what you would recommend the featherweight boning for, I use it for mock ups! The fact that you can sew over them directly rocks, cuz y'all won't ever catch me putting in more effort than is absolutely essential for a mockup, and it's easy to work with. I also recently made a hoop skirt with featherweight boning and so far it works perfectly. It has so much give so your skirts can still easily collapse when you need them to but there's enough structure to hold up some weight. Not a crazy amount of weight, mind you, but it works perfectly well with the cosplay I'm using it for.

@questionstar

25 күн бұрын

I've been using it for structure for things like tall DRAMATIC cape collars, hoop boning but for puffy sleeves not skirts, boning for ridiculously high-waisted pants... honestly I really agree there's a lot you can do with it lol I even read about a crafter who used it next to the zippers of tall boots to make them easier to zip up as well as helping them stand up, like the thigh high but very loose at the top piratey fantasy boots and I'm totally going to try that too xD
