Hanamaru
Kunikida

Series: Love Live Sunshine
Version: Water Blue New World
Created: November 2019
Worn to: Kumoricon 2019
Awards: Kumoricon 2019 Director’s Choice

The WBNW costumes always stood out to me as one of my favorites and I while the animated designs are somewhat flat I knew they had so much potential for fun materials and techniques! 

The base of this costume is a bell tutu that I made with a gradient of tutu netting, even the panty was dyed to match this gradient! The tutu is so fluffy and it was really satisfying to make! The bodice of this costume was made of blue velvet with black velvet accents. I also found the coolest ice blue metallic pleather that I used for the front panel of the bodice and the skirt apron. To continue my theme of textured materials the overskirt has a layer of sequins on it for maximum sparkle!

When planning my skit I knew I needed to have a transforming skirt. I created my long overskirt with a gradient tulle panel that connected to the long skirt and faded to be the length of my short skirt. It ended up looking so cool on stage! The skirt apron also has EL wire in it, but it’s a bit hard to see in photos. My wig is a Ferrari in Sandy Brown from Arda Wigs.

  • Water Blue New World Virtual Group Cover
    Hi Lovelies! ♡

    Through the pandemic I think we've all really missed being a part of cosplay groups and dance groups with our friends. While virtual groups don't quite make up for time lost with friends they do help a little bit. ♡ This group is so special to me because it's made up of friends and people I admire from all over the world!

    As I'm sure you can all assume editing together 9 dancers was quite the task but I think it turned out beautifully. Please enjoy and be sure to go follow all our lovely dancers on Instagram!

    Keep sewing, stay positive and have fun!! ♡

    Hello everyone! ♡

    Well I can finally share why my YouTube has been so hit or miss recently; I've been building THIS! ♡ WBNW Maru was a beast to sew and I was trying my hardest since I was entering it into Kumoricon's Cosplay Contest! I'm happy to say that I won the Coordinators Choice award! ♡

    I hope you all enjoy my little skit! I had a great time putting this together!

    ALSO the BIGGEST thanks and all my love to It'sNicoleBee for being my ninja and helping me with the tear away skirt! You are incredible and I love you so much!

  • [Build Log] Water Blue New World Hanamaru - Part 1 - Making a Bell Tutu
    We are back at it with a new build log! ♡ This project has been my life for the past few months and I am so proud of how she turned out!

    We're going to be starting this series by creating a Bell Tutu! Tutus can be very challenging to make but once you get the hang of it they are super fun! I love being able to prance around in this fluffy skirt!

    What do you think of this tutu? I think it's so cute! ♡ Be sure to tune in next week to see how I construct the bodice!

    Hey friends~! ♡ Time for the second part of my WBNW build! This bodice was a total headache, but I love the way it turned out!

    I think my favorite part of this costume has to be all the fun materials I choose! It's so interesting to look at and truly feels like a Ballet costume!

    Do you like the mix of materials I used? ♡ Tune in next time to see the TEAR AWAY SKIRT! 😀

    Keep sewing, stay positive and have fun! ♡

  • Sewing with El Wire - Water Blue New World Hanamaru Part 3
    Hey friends~! ♡

    Today I'm going to show you how I made my light up apron from my Water Blue New World costume!

    When I first decided to make WBNW I knew I wanted my apron to light up like it did in the anime! I wasn't sure how to do it at first but El wire came to mind and ended up being the perfect material for this!

    What do you think about EL Wire? Is it something you're planning to use in a future project?

    Keep sewing, stay positive and have fun! ♡

  • Get Ready With Me - Water Blue New World Hanamaru
    Hello Everyone ♡

    I've had a few request for GRWM videos and thought I would give it a try! It's fun to see all the pieces and parts that go into a costume - though admittedly my theater training usually pushes me to make costumes in as few of pieces as possible - that way it's less likely for things to move or go missing. Any way I tried to make this as ✨Aesthetic✨ as possible - let me know if it worked! (:

    P.S. I'm working on another Blue New World video that I am crazy excited about! I think you're all REALLY gonna like it so please look forward to it! ♡

    Keep sewing, stay positive and have fun!! ♡
