A very deep love. Specifically for Nintendo games. I live and die by Nintendo. Every day I wake up and forget to charge my Nintendo systems, and then get really upset when I cant play pokemon at midnight. It&#8217;s an endless cycle- but its special, and it&#8217;s a part of me.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, for prom, I really want to do something that is very&#8230;. me. Something that represents me as a person. Something that represents me as a nerd who doesn&#8217;t have much of a life outside of the virtual world. Me as a cosplayer. I essentially want a dress that could somehow captivate my entire world.<\/p>\n<p>I began thinking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kerri, you can modify anything. why not modify a dress to fit your needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>therefore, I came to the conclusion that my dress will be inspired by &#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5279\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/zelda-prom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2150\" height=\"2921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/zelda-prom.jpg 2150w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/zelda-prom-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/zelda-prom-768x1043.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/zelda-prom-754x1024.jpg 754w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/zelda-prom-1200x1630.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Princess Zelda!<\/p>\n<p>(without the sword)<\/p>\n<p>I plan on modifying a white dress to fit her style. I&#8217;m thinking of finding some type of gold twill\/bias tape to sew along the bottom edges, and then either handsew in some type of lace, or embroider the details.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, i&#8217;ll be able to use my own hair. Very happy about that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE:<\/p>\n<p>I began writing this a few weeks ago, and I wanted to update this because I found something that worked well. I searched across many many cosplay sites to find a decent dress, but they all seemed to use rather cheap fabrics, and the ones that didn&#8217;t use cheap fabric were crazy expensive.<\/p>\n<p>I went on Facebook, and went to the buy\/sale\/trade pages for cosplay (which actually exist! and i probably shouldn&#8217;t spend too much time on them,,,, that could be quite disastrous)<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, I was able to get a pretty good prom dress for a pretty good price! its a bit big on me right now, but ill be able to take it in! I&#8217;ll be sure to update you guys on the progress of the dress as i work on it.<\/p>\n<p>I know its a bit early, but, I&#8217;m really excited! This is one of those things every teen movie focuses on, so it has to be pretty memorable. If it&#8217;s got a scene in high school musical, it has a place in my life. Maybe that&#8217;s not the right way to live ones life by, but it works for me!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, as you all know, I have a deep love for video games.
