Macross Plus Myung and Sakizou Pastry Costumes

[aimeekitty]

I debated sharing this here since it isn't really typical RPF fare but maybe you'll enjoy it? I like to put rhinestones on things. Sakizou is a Japanese illustrator who likes to make drawings of women as pastries and gemstones. I really liked her design for a Mont Blanc pastry girl. There is no drawing of the bottom of her dress so I improvised. I also designed an embroidery design of a Mont Blanc actual pastry for the sleeve tops and back of the jacket.


The skirt is a brocade with lace overlays.



There's a little victorian bustle in the back. The corset is fully boned with a modesty panel in the back and interlined with coutil.

TOTALLY DIFFERENT:
I have my Myung cosplay from Macross Plus (I'm assuming there are some mecha fans on this forum who remember that classic? ) Myungs outfit is this horrible 80s-90's thing with hideous pants… but I love Macross that much that I made it anyway. haha. The Sharon Apple computer and cockpit was made by my friend Lionel. I used a vintage (horrible) 80′s pants pattern for the pants. The jacket was largely drafted starting with a mandarin jacket pattern and then modifying it a lot. Huge shoulder pads were, of course, involved.

Hi Aimee! It's Aysha, I just lurk on here occasionally but I definitely had to comment cos you've been a huge cosplay inspiration for me since forever XD Still have fond memories of the time you took me shopping in the fabric district MAN I am dying to go back there.

That dress is SO CUTE I love the embroidery the best but the whole thing is seriously wonderful, I love the elaborate stuff so much. I've been curious about watching Macross for a while, I'm about to get a crunchyroll account so if it's on there I'm gonna check it out. I love cosplays that basically no one would do unless they love a character THAT much lol

Hi Aysha! Thanks for such a nice compliment! I haven't seen you in forever, I hope you're doing well! There are SO MANY Macross series! Some better than others! I liked Macross Plus and Macross Frontier and there are lots of others too. Enjoy!
