The easiest cosplay

Completed October 2016.

Halloween is the silliest, and therefore my favorite, of all holidays. It's also one of the most stressful holidays, personally, because I always feel like whatever I put on must be handmade, otherwise I've failed myself. The loophole is that I just put on the same self-made costume for years and years. It's fine! My creations are timeless, and so is this Pokemon costume, because Pokemon will always be relevant!

Poliwhirl isn't one of my favorite Pokemon but it is one of the cutest. Just look at how it moves!

And that's the jolly lil dance I did all Halloween season in 2016. I didn't need any other reason to want this to be my costume.

Throwback

Completed 2014.

This dress is a simple fit-and-flare with a gathered skirt made from cotton jersey. It’s the oldest self-made garment that is still currently in my possession. Meaning, it’s the only still-wearable apparel I ever made as a teenager, even if I never actually wear it due my tastes having changed. I know that it still fits perfectly fine. Hooray for easy silhouettes! As for difficulty in construction...
