Awesome job on the Blondie, Peytonriley! I'm just about finished all of the leather parts on mine. SO much work in that costume! But it's been fun!

I wore my sparkly Babydoll costume at AX 11... I'm quite proud of it haha.

But I'm working on a new one for Dragon*Con but I can't find any refs...
does anyone have refs for BD's asylum uniform?

this is the only one I have, and it's for the veryvery top of it haha

edit: s**t, my links failed

Thanks for the tip Gallifreyan. I googled for victory rolls but couldn't really find the bun kind. They mostly gave me curls. Do you have any tips on how I can make this on a wig? My hair is unfortunately too short to even tie a stump.

Cereza you look great! Love your Babydoll photos.

Hello! I also did Amber and I had my hair done at a salon, my stylist explained to me how he did it. I don't think he followed how victory rolls are done, he just did what he could to my hair so it'll look like Amber's .

I'm not a professional wig stylist, I just learned through experimentation. Here is a sample of my work

Purple wig had 2 layers of "donuts" . I used a "hair rat" in the form of polyurethane foam "donuts"

Anyway for the wig, a mid (back) length would work perfectly. You'll need:
- biggest plastic hair rollers. I prefer this style rather than the velcro type because it's easier to remove.
- wig stand,
- wide tooth comb, hair pins, very strong hold hair spray barrette
- hot water or steamer

- Put your wig on the stand. Tie it into a low ponytail use a barrette to secure, try to tie where you want your hair roll to sit (nape of your neck).
- divide into sections. If you were able to find jumbo rollers i think 4 sections will do.
- put on the rollers, roll the hair outward. Roll tightly and secure tightly with hair pins if necessary.
- to set the curls , you can either pour hot water (NOT BOILING) over the wig, concentrating on the rollers. Or apply hot steam. I prefer the steam method coz it's faster but this is also more risky because if you get too close or the steam is too hot, the wig will frizz and there is no way to repair it.
- you can do this as many times as you want until the wig achieves a curl. (I left a wig in rollers for a week before.) You just need the curl to give the wig some body and it'll make the rolling (later) easier and it'll hold the shape better.
- carefully remove the rollers. then brush the wig lightly with a wide tooth comb just to bring the hair together.
- carefully remove the barrette then take a small section of hair at the bottom/under part of the wig, secure it with a rubber band. Then clip the rest back again. Align the direction f the curls. make sure that they are all facing(?) outward.

Here comes the fun part...

- gather the hair ans start rolling outwards, same way you did with the rollers except this time you're rolling the entire hair. The tightness of the roll depens on how big you want the hair roll to be and how thick the wig is.
- You can secure the roll w/ hair pins as you go and don't forget to generously spray it with hair spray. Keep rolling until you reach the nape/the end where the barrette i. secure w/ more pins if needed.
- Then un-clip the small section of hair that you clipped away before and use it. to cover the barrette.

- If you are having difficulties retaining the shape, you can use a hair rat. Use it as a "filling" and roll the hair the same way as above, imagine rolling a burrito.

And you're done.

I hope my instructions are understandable. Feel free to ask if there is a part that you find confusing. I'll try my best to explain it.

Boxxcat, I don't know why you're trying to be me and take credit for my costume but grow up. Photos posted by epilepticsquirl are actually me, more can be seen on my personal deviantart page here: Callesto on deviantART. I'll have more uploaded later, I did a photoshoot with my two best friends a couple weeks ago and only had a chance to upload one due to AX.

ModernDayMarc: I made my skirt and top so sorry I can't help you on where to buy one!

Epilepticsquirl: I used your decals on my gun! Thank you for making them for all of us, they're beautiful and your instructions were super easy!

Aww, thanks very much.
I made it from scratch.
I got the pattern for the top from my fabric store. It's a pretty simple blouse, but I forget where the pattern was from. I can go back and find it if you want though. Then I added the sailor fuku top to it. You can search for that pattern on google.

The skirt is a real simple pleated skirt with a yoke. The skirt I made is like a dance wrap skirt it connects with snaps on the side by the slit.

Sorry if that wasn't that much help.

 

[u2ecila]

excellent work, you look great!

Do you mind sharing what colors and sizes you used for the crystals as well as where you bought them? Also, how long did it take you to add all of the bling? What method did you use to attach the crystals? It really looks dead on! I just started working on my mock up of this costume for dcon. Will you be going there too?



Edit!
Eek sorry credit went to the wrong person there.

CaptainCallesto - amazing job, and sorry for the confusion on my side.

 

[mothmonty]

Boxxcat, that's not cool at all. Shame on you !
BTW, love your work on your costume Callesto, love the white katana, it's beautiful !

I forgot to upload a photo of the costume that the memeber Peytonriley did for my birthay, and another photo i found from last saturday con.


This is the one that Peytonriley did for my bd ! I loved it. I will be taking new photos of it. It's lovely

And found another pic of the con that did a little more justice to the new costume !

I've done a little photoshoot, but i'm still waiting for the photos

 

[ModernDayMarc]

Wow, sorry to hear your pics were used by someone else.
I figured you must have made your outfit, looked too perfect =]
But thanks anyways! All your work is truly amazing!

boxxcat . . . instaBAN! For trying to take credit for someone else's work.

Great Job CaptainCallesto!

 

[Montagar]

The staff had already attempted to contact boxxcat earlier today regarding this issue. She did not reply and chose instead to attempt to create a different/new account. Both accounts have been banned. As others have mentioned... not cool.

 

[epilepticsquirl]

That aint cool. I changed my initial post to reflect the true owner of that dashingly seductive costume. If you want the pictures removed CaptainCallesto, just lemme know and i'll take care of it.

 

[u2ecila]

CaptainCallesto, I changed my post above to give proper credit to u!

Very nice work, and I would still love to hear any insight you could share on making this costume.

Cheers
