Mew Ichigo

Series: Tokyo Mew Mew
Created: January 2018
Worn to: Sakuracon 2018, Nihon Matsuri 2018, Anime Expo 2018
Awards: Best Masters Overall @ Nihon Matsuri 2018

Tokyo Mew Mew was my gateway anime. It was the first show that I watched over and over and read a million times. In middle school I carried the entire manga series with me to school everyday – that’s how much I loved Tokyo Mew Mew. Ichigo was my first cosplay back in 2008 and I am so happy to have remade her.

I started by constructing the skirt – it’s a large circle skirt with a gathered hem and waist. In between the fashion and lining layers are two full petticoats for maximum floof! The bodice is a princess seam bodice with some steal boning, the fur was then attached and trimmed the length. All the fur on this costume started as long pile and was trimmed by hand to get the right length. The accessories were all squares of my material gathered and edged in fur. I also created the tail and ears for this costume. The tail is a tube of fur stuffed with poly fill that has a large metal wire through it. The ears are the same fur sewn around craft foam that can clip into my wig.

My favorite part of this costume is the gloves. These were made of a beautiful stretch glitter velvet and look so very cute! The scallops on the edge were stretched as they were sewn to create the warp in the hem line. The Strawberry Bell is the official toy from the 2000’s. The wig is a Viven from Arda Wigs in Peony Pink.

  • ☆[Vlog] Anime Expo 2018 - I LOST MY CAMERA!?!☆
    Hello everyone!! I'm finally back from Anime Expo!! 😀
    I always have such an amazing time at this convention, it's come to be one of my favorites. However I did run into a slight snag this year - I lost my camera!

    Of course since I lost my camera all my footage from the convention was also lost! Yikes! Either way we got to chit chat about AX and all the fun events I was a part of. Hopefully next year I'll have footage to show!

    Also sorry for the potato quality. It didn't look this bad as I was working on it. ^^'

Do you ever have a costume that in theory you real Do you ever have a costume that in theory you really like but the moment you put it on you feel a bit defeated? 😔

Thats how I felt wearing Zakuro this weekend. The costume is well made and I like all the parts separately but when I put it all on I don’t love it as much 😭 Hopefully with a few more changes and upgrades I’ll grow to love her 💜

Yesterday I released my making of video for this costume! You can find it though the link in my bio 💜💜💜

Have you guys seen the latest art for Sailor Moon Have you guys seen the latest art for Sailor Moon Eternal? 😍 It’s so neat to finally see all the guardians in their Eternal uniforms 💕 I honestly haven’t watched the new anime since season one but I might have to see this movie it looks incredible 😍
•
Today it finally set in for me that cons probably won’t be coming back this year, and even if they do I’m not sure if I’d be willing to go. 😔 It makes me so sad - I miss my friends, I miss seeing all the neat costumes, creating art with friends, wearing painful heels - the whole 9 yards. I miss all of it. 😭 But thankfully I’ve been planning lots of virtual things for this year. I’m glad I have things to look forward to! 💕

I hope you’re all have a wonderful week. 💖💖💖

This costume was my biggest build of last year and also my favorite. 💕 It’s an absolute explosion of pink and pretty fabrics 😍 Not only was it a fun costume to build but it was even more fun wearing it for Virtual Crunchroll Expo! 
•
The entire contest experience of CRX was amazing from start to finish. You could tell that everyone involved really wanted this to be an incredible show. 💕 I hope that we see more contest like that this year - I’ve started working on my next competition build and really want somewhere to showcase it! 🙏

Have you started sewing this year? I spent most of yesterday working on mock-ups and patterns! I also ordered some fabrics for Sophie! 😍😍😍

Ngl I feel like Christmas with Ichigo would be sup Ngl I feel like Christmas with Ichigo would be super chaotic. 😬 She’d get tangled in the lights, want to eat all the sweets, and inevitably turn into a cat when she finds herself under the mistletoe with Aoyama! 😳
•
This set of photos is kinda silly but I still really like them. 😅 So often in photo shoots we focus on making pretty faces but the silly faces are sometimes just as great in photos! 💕
•
Also just another reminder that my holiday cards are available for one more week on my Patreon! Be sure to join by the end of the year if you’d like one! 💖💖💖
