I knew that my daughter wanted to be Ciri for many, many months, but I was stumped on how to make a few of the items. The metal belt that Ciri wears is one of them. I wasn’t sure how I would make it so that all of the pieces were the same. I knew […]
In many female cosplay costumes, a corset is a integral part of the costume. There are a lot of “period” (however fictitious the period may be) costumes, where corsets are the norm for the female characters. Ciri’s corset is more of a protection. It is made of leather. From the pictures, it doesn’t appear to […]
Well, it’s that time of year. That time, when I pull my hair out and try to figure out how the heck I am going to finish these costumes in time! The kids are going to be Geralt and Ciri from The Witcher 3. So, to start I am going to detail what I have […]
There is a little girl, who I have known since birth, that requested a dance costume from me. You see, last year when she chose her individual costume for her dance performance, she got it from a catalog. *shocked gasp* An entire team had also chosen that dance outfit for their performance, so needless to […]

Costume Details
Posts on how I made it: The Jacket The vest and pants The vambraces The tomahawk The arm bands
All things being equal, this costume was much less involved than my son’s costume for the con. Which, in an of itself, is quite the statement for a kid’s costume that will get worn a handful of times. The costume dress is a mix of a crinkle, double-sided knit which is rather heavy, pleather and a lightweight […]
The last of the costume! It was really helpful to see this You Tube tutorial on the vambraces, in order to make my version. I obviously didn’t do everything the same, but it gave me some up close visuals to work with on them. The size of the vambraces for the Boy were 7″ tall by […]
