Tess was made at a time when I was still learning how to sew. It was the first costume I made with (sort of) properly installed zippers, and neater hems, and use of snaps. I also experimented a bit more with different textures of fabrics to bring this costume to life.

 

The top was made out of bottomweight and suede, with wood pieces and model magic for the silver details. Scarf was simple- a basic red loop that goes over my head. The gloves were a challenge, but came out alright. They were done in blue interlock with interfacing for the cuffs.

 

Shorts were done in denim, with cuffs slipstitched into place. There is a lapped size zipper that allows me to get in and out of them. The boot covers are suede lined with cotton, with batting sandwiched in between them. The straps are separate pieces which snap on and off.

 

As for the boots, they were grey suede, but I painted them to resemble Tess's. I covered a headband in pink peachskin, with little tails so it can tie in the back.

 

The ears were purchased from YayaHan's shop. Orb is easter egg spray painted, and decorated with paint markers, and reads something special. ;D
