MOTU She-ra costume

[Darkbeauty]

After a longtime without motivation and creativity, I am back on track.
I dont like the idea that everyone can see that it is a corsett, so I sewed a "cover". Its the same material as the skirt, so you cant see the two different shades of white.

Today I had a bit time to create the flower pattern and sew it on the cover.

That's looking sharp!

This is looking so great! On my wish list is a recreation of the 2002 version (I think that's where I traced this image to at least) that never made it into the He-Man reboot. I love the valkyrie-esque warrior look to it. Seeing how good your version is coming out is very inspiring - looks so much more substantial than the original, maybe she could even fight in it

Definitely a good decision to cover the corset with a top layer. The front fleur thingy looks really great - it almost looks quilted on/puffy? What kind of material did you use?

wow! amazing work!

for the fleur I used foam board. I glued the foam board on the faux leather and sewed the fleur on the top layer, very close to the ends of the fleur.

here is another sneak peek of the costume. please ignore the background

finished the top layer with all the tricky parts today. and yeah I had to pin the red fabric on the mannequin just to see the "result".

Finished the shin guards today. made of wonderflex. I will paint it the next days and glue the gem on it.
