Made by Naomi

So I finally got some Merida cosplay pictures up after having finished it over 3 months ago. But I'm glad we got to do it today. It wasn't too cold and there was a nice overcast.

BTW that water was COOOOOOOLD!!!!!

About the Costume:

Everything was made and worn by me. The bow was carved from a stick my younger brother brought home one day and I extended the ends a bit with cardboard, wire, paper, duct tape and a whole lot of hot glue. Of course I covered it all with leather so you can't see it, but it's there. The arrows were made in the same way. I just took some sticks from my backyard, shaved them and added feathers. Only one has a tip and that's the one I use for shooting pictures. The quiver was made from cardboard and leather, and I bought the belt from the thrift store and tied it so it would hang slanted on my hips. Only the collar from the dress was cut from a pattern since I didn't know how that sort of collar would look on a pattern, then I free-handed everything else. The wig was bought online, I only brushed out a few of the curls to make it look a bit more poofy (Unfortunately the poofiness fell after a few pictures and it didn't even matter anymore.) The shoes were also bought from the thrift store.

Overall, probably my best cosplay so far, though I hope to do more in the future.

That's pretty much it, feel free to ask questions about it and I hope you enjoy! <3
