F.A.Q Princess Zelda (English)

About my Zelda's cosplay

Since 2009 and the creation of my princess costume Zelda de Twilight princess I received many message of people asking me almost every time for the same questions.
First of all I'm going to answer only general answers (everybody have small secrets) ^^ but I'll try to be the most clear and detailed possible.

- Where you bought your costume ?:
I made it myself from scratch, my job is to create costumes and accessories ; visit my store and my site if you want a personal costume order ! :
www.etsy.com/shop/NarayuCrea
narayu.e-monsite.com/
www.facebook.com/pages/Narayu-…

- How do you made your Zelda's armors/ pauldrons ? :
I have to create a tutorial there some time ago  = http: // narayu.deviantart.com / gallery / 12348205 * / d1ojy0r

- How do you made the dress and the bodice (pink part of the dress) ?:
I create my sewing patterns, I even took some patterns for basis like these (as simplicity or McCall's) before modifying them

- How do you made your accessories  (the crown ...)? :
My accessories are made by me, molded with various materials (as some polymerclay or clay) sanded, painted and varnished.

- Where do you bought your elfs' ears and your wigs?:
For finding elf ears, AradaniCostumes and for wigs, eBay is your friend!

- How do you made your jewels?:
I make my jewels by making a first piece serving as prototype then I realize a mould and pour the jewel in resin polyester.
But,
You can find jewels and gemstones for your cosplay with some words like : teardrop, candlestick ornaments, acrylic gems, chandelier crystals, arcylic beads in some stores and webstores :
- Etsy - E-bay -Hobby Lobby

- How do you made your lyre (zelda Skyward Sword):
I created a tutorial for it: http: // narayu.deviantart.com/art/Zelda-Goddess-Lyre-tutorial-part-1-306142340

- How to make the hairstyle and hold accessories in hair ?:
Everything depends on your wig or on your own hair, if they are thick it will be easier, otherwise, to try to give of the volume with rollers (curlers) or pipes of stuffed fabrics(tissues). Hang on(collide) ribbons and accessories by means of crowbar, of lacquer and of small invisible elastics(rubber bands)!

This is all for the moment, the other questions will come later.
