Planning out my next builds after Aerith

Ok ff7 OG game play update - SHIT IS HARD OMG It’s giving Lego Star Wars level difficulty like wtf🧍🏼‍♀️

Sourced these “love braclet” replicas for my Aerith cosplay! Going to gold leaf paint the floral designs on the rose gold one. I know they are much larger/ bulkier in the game… but we going for live action vibes here 🙂‍↕️🙆🏼‍♀️

Before vs After ✨🙆🏼‍♀️ One of my favorite parts of cosplay making is that nothing ever has to be “done.” I first embroidered my @tebasakizo.bsky.social Violetta in 2024, and this year I gave it a glow up for AnimeNYC 2025! Always love reminding myself: our costumes can keep growing as we grow! 🌸✨

Swipe to see me build a Rococo inspired wig for my @tebasakizo.bsky.social Violetta 🪞✨🌸 #cosplaywip #cosplaywig

Come find me at NYCC for a ribbon hehehehe 🩷🥹

Ribbons for NYCC 🙆🏼‍♀️

This is your reminder that a cosplayer is NOT the character. Lately my Tifa cosplay has gotten a wave of creepy and inappropriate DM’s and comments. I will delete. I will block. It’s just gross…

Aerith really out here with the custom zippers also found the most perfect buckles as pacific trimmings

Friends I’m going to RESPECTFULLY say this. But please. You NEED to wear deodart to summer cons. I mean you should always be wearing it… but bring a mini one with you to reapply at the con. Let’s not forget poor hygiene. The smells I smelled at AnimeNYC 🫠

Anyone else just not the biggest fan of helmet wigs?!! Something about using a low melting point glue to coat something that’s so close to your scalp..

This is for my beginner cosplayers. You really don’t need all the fancy bells and whistles for a sewing machine. It’s nice to have, sure. And who doesn’t want an embroidery machine? But this costume was 85 percent hand sewn. It comes down to technique and patience at the end of the day 🩷.

Nobody else finds it weird Tifa just be punching dementors?!! Just me? Ok ok

My body hurts so bad from ANYC and I feel like a dried raisin 😔

Oop new Super Sailor Moon photos just dropped 🙆🏼‍♀️🩷 Photography by @sorairodays.bsky.social #sailormoon #anime #cosplay
