Cosplay Tutorial: She-Ra Dress
Now that I’ve given a tutorial about making the armor and She-Ra head piece using Wonderflex, it’s time for the basics – the She-Ra dress!

Cosplay Tutorial: Wonderflex Arm Bands!

Well, apparently finding gold spandex fabric is much harder than I thought. Had I known that, I would have ordered some through Spandex World!

The Asian Princess of Power?
Although it’s not even the middle of May, I am already excited about my next cosplay!! The other month I was at my parents house being forced to clean out their closet and take home anything that was mine and I came across a white dress. Not just any white dress, but this was my 8th grade graduation dress! It didn’t look as small as I remembered (I must have been swimming in it) so I decided to try it…
