Description
Haha, yet another lame title. I know the marble wall looks nothing like the gate of time, but I honestly can't be arsed to think of a better title lol. I'll save the good titles for the next shoot for this costume hahaha. XD; I was also thinking about going into my process for this costume a bit here, but decided that it would be more appropriate when the costume is actually finished (as I mentioned on my first SS Zelda submission, the costume wasn't finished in time for this shoot, which is why it's just portraits. ^ ^; ). I hope you all enjoy this photo regardless.
Model: Me
Costume made by me.

Zelda is a one of a kind look. Most pepole cant pull her off but you where born looking like "The princess of destiny". And how did you stile the wig? (sorry for spelling)

I totally agree with everyone else that you are one of the best Zelda cosplayers out there. You pay attention to very little details and in the end, get it spot on! I am making my Zelda cosplay right now and I am currently trying to figure out a way to make the ribbons stay. I know you used some kind of clip, but what do they look like? The clips I already have are way to big >-<

I use a wig clip for the crocheted yarn that fills out the earlock, then I attach the wraps to the yarn with small snaps.

Ooooooh. I see what you are saying. Thank you so much! (^-^)

... seriously! Everytime you cosplay Zelda, I think you're even more perfect for her! You do EVERY version of her absolutely perfect! Hell, I'm almost afraid of cosplaying her, knowing I'll never reach your point of perfection!

Akuriko~ You're just the cutest Zelda!
Where did you buy your wig? I'm looking for a pretty blonde wig for a secret costume idea of mine. I almost bought one from Arda but then they ran out of stock on the one I liked.

I bought it from a chinese seller on ebay. ^ ^ I didn't buy it this thick, though. I bought two of the same wig and combined them into one wig. ^ ^;

Is that pretty hard to do?

It's not so much difficult as it is time-consuming. ^ ^;
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well, anything worth doing usually is.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Ohhh~ I was looking on eBay. I usually buy from the same seller but I haven't found the right wig. I thought about sewing a wig into another but I worry that I'll just make it look like poop u__u
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
It's not that difficult, just take out wefts from one wig and sew it between the wefts on the other wig. It's very time consuming, but the method is very simple.

Oh....I was thinking I'd add more hair to my Rikku wig

Funny how simple costumes are sometimes the hardest - every flaw shows! You did an impeccable job - your penchant for detail really shines.

Yeah, haha, seems like there isn't really such thing as a simple costume lol~ XD And thank you very much! ^w^/~<3

No matter the incarnation of Zelda, you always pull it off perfectly.

That wig is so thick!!! Where did you get it?

I got it from a chinese seller on ebay. I bought two of the same wig and combined them for one really thick wig lol. ^ ^

Wonderful! Do you remember which seller, per chance? The wig photographs so nicely too - the color is great ;u;

Unfortunately I don't remember exactly. I just remember it was a taobao shop.

I love your wig *___* how did you do the front hair?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you! For the front, I crocheted a filler for each earlock, used wig clips to secure them in the wig, covered them with wig fiber, then wrapped them.

Your welcome
I will cosplay zelda this year,too. But at the moment iยดm not sure how i will do the wig. I allready have ideas but im not satisfied with them
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Omg so perfect! *o* I saw that you said you dyed the dress, what color was the fabric before and what dye did you use? I'm making zelda right now too and I have a hot pink fabric I already made the dress out of, and I wanna dye it, I just dont wanna mess it up >w<;
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
My fabric was originally a pale baby pink. I used Dylon's hot pink fabric dye to dye it (the one with the flamingo on the package). Dyeing fabric is really very simple. Just follow the directions on the package.

Wow okay~ Thanks a bunch for the info! ^w^

If you don't mind sharing, how on earth did you get the detailing on the dress so perfect? Is that ribbon? Paint?
