He he! I've loved Howl & Sophie since I saw the film in late 2007. Read the book in 2010 and loved the characters even more. Thank you so much!

It took Kayla and I quite some time to get this cosplay around. Of course...it was worth it and now I'm sharing it on DeviantArt. My hope is to inspire other Howl & Sophie cosplayers + be influenced by other existing cosplayers that cosplay as Howl & Sophie. I figure we can help each other and have fun doing it. Take care!

I only saw the movie in 2009 and I'm currently going through the books
now. I love it! I've cosplayed Sophie myself and she is such a lovely
character. I hope to cosplay Howl some day or cosplay with a Howl ^_^

Oh ok...that is awesome that you are going through the books. I still gotta get to the other books. I read "Howl's Moving Castle" (the book) and that is it. Ugh! Yes...Sophie is very lovely. Even when she is old...she has this charisma and delicacy that is attractive. She is also quite blunt (which isn't necessarily a bad thing when concerning the Witch of the Waste...LOL!). Oh I bet you'd make a good Howl. There is so much talent out there that each of us possesses if we only search for it. He he!

This is random, but I love your shoes for this cosplay (I've seen them in the other pictures, and they're perfect for Howl ) . Where did you get them?

He he! Thank you very much. I got them at Elder Beerman. They had this special 19th century look to them that reminded me of the shoes Wizard Howl wore.

It is a store that is a department store in a lot of malls in my native Northwest Ohio. I hope you find them...hopefully they haven't been discontinued!

I went to their website and saw some Not the exact kind though. We don't have that store where I live. Maybe in the big cities like Denver :S

Oh so you did find them...or something similar I hope? I'm not sure how widespread Elder Beerman is. Yeah...Denver might have them.
