Lady Dimitrescu cosplay patterns and tutorial

Description

A set of digital patterns (PDF) that you can print out and use to make your own cosplay costume AND a digital tutorial book of 39 pages long in which the full creation of the costume is described with lots of pictures and tips and tricks. These are digital files, so there is no physical pattern or book that I send to you. You will need to download the files to your computer and work with them from there

If you buy these PDF’s, you can immediately download them, print the patterns and scroll through all of the tutorial pages on your digital device to help with making your own costumes and props. Some basic crafting and sewing experience is advised when working with the patterns.

All pattern pieces are drawn without seam allowance. So you can choose your own preferred amount of seam allowance.

The pattern is in my own size (I made it and used it for my own cosplay. I’m putting them up online to help as a guide for other cosplayers to make their own cosplay). My size is a L. If you want to use it for another size, you can adjust the pattern pieces. I always suggest making a mock-up first and then see if you need to adjust any of the pieces to make it fit perfect for you.

I created the sewing pattern to be used with stretchy fabric. Personally I made the dress out of an old lycra fabric tablecloth but scuba or jersey would also be good options. 5 meters of fabric should be enough to make this dress out of.

Please keep in mind that these patterns are the ones that I drafted for a cosplay to fit my own body. The size of the dress sewing pattern will fit aprox a size L/XL. Because we are all unique and no one is shaped exactly the same as someone else, it is possible that you will need to adjust the size of the pattern pieces to fit you better. The patterns that I have available are meant to be used as a base. I always suggest to make a mockup first to see if you need to adjust the pattern.

The pattern for the hat comes with different sizes of the brim. One for a very large brim (really gigantic), one with still a big brim, and another with a more normal sized brim. So there’s plenty of options with the hat pattern.

I advice to make the hat for Lady Dimitrescu using 5mm thick EVAfoam. Both low density and high density EVA foam can be used. It will affect however how floppy the brim will be in the end. So that’s completely up to you!

The top of the hat fits well over an adult size head. If you have a larger head or if you want to wear a big wig underneath, then just widen the ‘top of hat’ pattern piece so the part that goes over your head will be bigger.
