Karen Aijou

Series: Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight
Version: Revue Outfit
Created: October 2018
Worn to: CharaExpo 2018, Anime Expo 2019
Awards: N/A

Recently I’ve been really into live idol shows and particularly love multimedia shows that have a live show, an anime, a game, etc. Revue Starlight fits this bill perfectly and has a really great story line!

This costume was create with a mix of inspiration from the anime and stage production. The skirt is made from faux dupioni and has a satin stripe along the hem. It’s a circle skirt with four box pleats. The white over skirt is organza with a tiny baby hem that was pleated and attached to the skirt. The jacket was draped on my dress form and is made of a twill material lined with cotton and gold spandex. All the bias tape is made from the same gold spandex and was blind stitched to the lining. The red jacket is velvet with a dupioni lining and a plush fur trim. My Star button was made by Omg It’s Barri.

My favorite part of this costume is the cute red crown! It’s so poofy and feels very lolita esque. The wig is a Epic Cosplay Hestia in Copper Red.

  • [CMV] Star Divine - Revue Starlight Dance Cover
    Hello friends! Here is my dance cover of the month! ♡

    This month's cover features one of my favorite current franchises - Revue Starlight! This is a multimedia project featuring a game, anime and live musical! The anime recently finished and was absolutely phenomenal - check it out on HiDive if you have the time!

    This cover was filmed during Chara Expo 2018 where I was lucky enough to meet Momoyo Koyama - the voice of Karen Aijou! Using various recordings of their live performances I was able to piece together the choreography for this dance.

    (p.s. please ignore the moving belt buckle! It slip around during filming and I didn't notice until I was editing! D:)

    Keep sewing, stay positive and have fun! ♡

  • ☆[Vlog] Chara Expo 2018 - POPIPA & MEETING MOMOYO!☆
    Welcome back friends! ♡
    I am back home from Chara Expo 2018 and wanted to tell you all about my adventures! I was having so much fun at this convention I forgot to film anything at all on the second day - oops! But I have lots of footage from the first day and lots of fun stories to tell!

    This was Chara Expo's second year in Anaheim and it was obvious that there were lots of growing pains. While the lines and bum rushes to buy merch were insane and something I never want to experience again the guests and live events totally made up for it! Did I mention that I got to see Poppin Party perform LIVE!?! This was such a fun event and I hope they continue to host it and bring such amazing overseas guests!

    Keep sewing, stay positive and have fun! ♡

Few things are better than a cape flip. 💖 When Few things are better than a cape flip. 💖

When I was making this costume I knew I wanted the cape to be sturdy in place but also to be able to take it off like in the anime so I used magnets!! The shoulder of the cape has two little magnets that attach to two magnets in the epaulette! It made it so the cape never budged unless I wanted it to. 💖
