Zelda

So, as i said in my previous entry ive decided to cosplay the twilight princess zelda. At first i wanted to cosplay ocarina of time zelda but figured the dress itself would be harder to emulate. Ive never made a dress before and im having to do this by hand since i havent used a sewing machine since high school and im doing this on a budget. After researching zelda and looking at a few images ive decided this image gives me the most strategic view of the dress:

 

I figured the dress itself is the simplest of the zelda, bar the tapestry hanging from her waist. I think the hardest part will be her diadem, belt and pauldrons. Ill get to that in time though, first the dress!
