So, this big convention I&#8217;m going to has a closet cosplay contest, which is where you pretty much cant make anything. It all has to be alterations and things you thrifted together- or already had. I wanted to challenge myself to do a big project using only closet cosplay rules. So, I chose Lady Palutena from Kid Icarus Uprising, and Super Smash Bros! Heres how I&#8217;ve done the stuff so far, and what i plan on doing for the unfinished parts!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">dress<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This dress was thrifted from City Thrift at $15. I did not ahve to take it in, it fit me perfectly. for the sash, I added a pre-owned sheer curtain, which i gathered and hand-sewed on to the front, and did a single dart on the back. I took the remaining thread and added a belt loop for the accessories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">belt<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a plastic scarf holder<\/li>\n<li>shower rings<\/li>\n<li>Christmas ornaments<\/li>\n<li>an old leaf headband.<\/li>\n<li>a necklace trinket<\/li>\n<li>belts provided by my dad, who told me to get whatever I wanted out of his closet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">necklace<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the chain came from what used to be a much larger necklace.
