Eis Hexe

Trinity Blood

Before I wear a costume at a convention, I never feel it is complete until I can put it all on and take some test pictures. This also helps me with nerves at the con itself. I tend to get a little scared that I don't look okay. This is especially important for complicated costumes like Hexe. There's so many little parts and fiddly bits to this one! Embroidery everywhere! Today, I finally put it all on, makeup and everything so I could see how long it takes to get ready and note any special concerns so I can be prepared for the time to wear it. I can't get dressed by myself in this! The buns eat my perepheral vision and actually change my balance some. It is quite funny to walk around in. Underneath it all, I'm wearing a full corset, the same one I did for Duchess Montzette. This keeps me secure (and a little uncomfortable) so the armor plate stays in place correctly. You can't see, but the wig is fully rooted in the back and all the highlights are done with Kanekalon hair. No caulk was used- everything was hand rooted and tied/sewn. This took FOREVER, but the wig is soft and breathes in the back- a need because I have so much natural hair to start with and I knew I'd be wearing this in the Summer. For anyone wondering, the wig took several weekends of rooting and a lot of paitence. The base wig was a CosWorx MISTY in white, but after everything I've done to it, you'd never be able to tell. Same from CosWorx are the boots and I love love love them. The tops were added to be accurate to the character. Now that the costume is pretty much DONE (there's a couple little invisible things to tend to), I can relax a little and take the time to pack it up nicely for when I wear it with my HCC girls. It has been a journey and I'm rather proud of this costume. I have learned so much from this one!
