Tutu made with help from this tutorial-> [link]EDIT!:I ended up wearing the tutu on Friday of Anime Boston and it was loads of fun! Thanks so much for your opinions!
Alright I need opinions.
This is my outfit for Friday of Anime Boston. I've made the leg warmers, kandi, and tutu myself. I can't decide if I want to wear the tutu or not. D:
I spent 4 hours making it so far(the back isn't done yet.) and I don't want to be like, yeahh after all that I'm not wearing it...But it's too poofy for my liking. >.< I really can't decide!
So tell me what you think?
Underneath the tutu I'm wearing a black skirt, if I don't wear the tutu, that's what will take it's place.
Tutu or not?!

haha. tutus ftw! what r u planning on for the rave this year?

Beware, long comment is loooonngg. xD
Haha in all honesty, probably the same exact outfit. xD I haven't been able to find anymore fur to make new legwarmers, and I'd rather not buy online cause it's expensive with shipping...and I work at a fabric store so it'd be ridiculous. xD(All we have at the store is black and white fur. 
Basically, the only thing different will be me having more kandi, and I might not wear the dreadfalls cause they're really gross and falling apart, and after last year I found out that they like to just slide off since they're horrible quality, so I spent a lot of time at the rave fixing them and that was a bummer. :c
I honestly haven't really thought about my outfit for the rave at all. xD I kinda wish I'd thought of something different, but it's too late now, I have to finish my HT Larxene and I just took on a project of making an Org coat for a friend, and making a scythe for another friend. Haha I'm gonna be swamped with work. x.x xD

ooh funfunfun. & not a ton of time left. I gotta get working too. my friend's giving me fabric for my Namine dress and I'm gunna need some purple for my Jinx dress. but my rave outfit's almost done, I'm probably gunna end up buying a tutu because my cousin's giving me a gift card for Claire's for my birthday (on the 21st) & she bought me my legwarmers as an early present ^-^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww those are awesome presents! x3 I'm stressing so much, my Larxene cosplay is eating my brain. x.x The tutu's almost done but I'm adding on long lightning bolts so that it looks like s storm cloud.(The main tutu tulle is dark gray and black. xD) I got one bolt on there, and it looks great! Buuutt it took forever to get done. D: So I'm procrastinating, which is a huge cosplay nono but I can't help it. x: And then the wings I made a really heavy and I dunno how I'm gonna get them so stay on my back, and rahh I still have to style the wig, which is gonna kill me, those antenna look like they're gonna be a bitch to get right. >.< Raaaahhh kay gonna go stress out moar. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, those antena do sound like murder... i guess one thing you could do would be to put wire on the wig & bend it like the antena, then take the hair and gel it up around the wire so you can't see it & it still holds it up
I can't wait to see your cosplay ^-^ & it won't be hard for us to find eachother at the rave with our bright colors xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My friend and I found a pretty good tutorial on here that shows how to do em. I was origninaly gonna go with the wire idea, and I think I will if the meathod we're using doesn't work. We're gonna get extensions and attach them at the front, then we're gonna put a helmet on the wig head, lay the extensions across it to give them they're shape, and then attack them with got2b glued hair spray.(Which is magical by the way. xD)
Ah man I can't wait for the photoshoots cause I wanna see everyones colsplayes so bad! I hope I'll be able to find you cause I got kandi to give you! 8D

i love the tutu, but i think you should do lime green tights instead of orange.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! x3 Orange is the only color I have, and I can't find anymore. x.x I got them at a Halloween store a few years ago, but I didn't have a chance to go see if they had more this year. :c But now I really like the color combo of purple, lime green and neon orange with black. It's come to be my fave, and besides, orange glows best under black light.

ooo one more thing did you make your kandies?? if so where did you get the beads from cos in england there are like no places to buy them =/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes indeed I do make my kandi. 
Also, there's places online where you can buy them in bulk as a last resort. ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh darn it
This is why i hate england >__<
in Walmart how much is it for a pack and how much do you get in a pack?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well at Walmart I buy bags of beads. They are usually $2.50-3.00 for smaller bags, and $4.00-5.00 for bigger bags. Surprisingly the smaller bags are better quality beads. xD
Then I buy string which is about $4.00.
With one small pack of beads I can usually make a lot of kandi. There's 500 beads in a small pack, I can't remember how many are in a big pack. >.< What usually runs out first though is the string. I always run out of it so fast. x.x

WOW O.O
Do you think you could buy me some and then i'll pay you the money through paypal or something
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah I'd love to but my Mom wont let me. >.< SO I went and looked for some nice beads online and I totally hit the jackpot! [link] has some awesome beads. O.O I'm definitely gonna be ordering myself some as soon as I get some money! If you can, I'd definitely look into it! The only thing is I don't think they have any string. x:

8D Thanks so much!
Are you wondering about the floofy leg warmers? Cause for them, I took apart a fuzzy pillow I had. xD
BUT if you were gonna make them, I'd go find some fabric that you like, if your looking for fuzzy stuff the internet might be your best bet. I know the big chain fabric store near me only carries black and white fuzzy stuff. x.x
Anyway you find the fabric you want and buy some(duh. x3) A yard of it would probably work, but I'm not 100% sure since I didn't have to buy my fabric.
You'd measure the length of your leg from just bellow your knee to the ground, and measure the circumference of your leg right below your knee. The piece of fabric I used was 20 inches long and 20 inches tall.(20 inches from my knee to the ground, and 14 inches circumference just below my knee. I added an extra 4 inches because of the flare.)
The shape of the leg warmers is kind of like a cone. So the top opening near your knee needs to be smaller than the bottom opening where your feet are. To get this effect you need to sew the seam in a slanted line like this -> / You also need to make the fabric overlap. At the top opening, make sure the fabric is close fitting to your skin. So for mine there was an extra 4 inches of fabric overlapping. This is good, sew the first few stitches to keep the top in place, then start sewing your slant. You're gonna want to move the fabric so that when you get to the bottom, the two bottom corners of your piece of fabric are basically touching and there's almost no overlap at all.
I took some pictures of the inside of mine cause I suck at explaining. xD [link] Okay so there, you can see the slanted seam and how it flares. c: [link] That one shows how to deal with the overlap. Where those stitches are that aren't part of the major seam, is where the overlap happened on the front side. So essentially, you have two seams, one on the outside and one on the inside, but you can't even tell once they're done.
OKAY that was such a long explanation and it probably makes no sense. xD But I tried. If you read all that, kudos. x3 At least now if anyone else asks me I can copy and paste. YAY! Maybe I'll make a tutorial at some point if I make another pair. C:

how did you make the furry boots? and if I got some fur could you help me make some? cause next year for AB I am going as a cyber raver for friday and sunday (since I gots a pair of goggles) and I am doing all black and purple since my goggle lenses are purple
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mine started from a pillow that I had. It was the only way I could do it because the fabric is almost impossible to find at the store and it has to be ordered online where shipping is costly and YEAH.
So basically, two pieces of furry fabric that were as tall as my knee from the ground. Sewed them so that they were kinda like a cone, the circle at the top where it wraps around the leg is smaller than the bottom. Which is done by sewing the seam like this -> \ instead of straight like this -> | .
They are just leg warmers, I wore converse underneath and I held the leg warmers on with elastic that I got at Jo-Annes and cut/tied to fit around my leg.

BTW there's a store in Pawtucket called Lorriane's Fabric and the have fur by the pound it's $6 per pound that's where I got the fur for my leg warmers

Eh, that's not really the kind of fur I'm looking for.
