Thank you so much!

Excellent question! First you will want to check the rules of the contest you are entering. Some contests require established artwork of the piece to enter. Also, check if accuracy is part of their scoring. They will most likely have this information posted in their contest rules or FAQ. If it is part of their scoring, then they will compare your cosplay to the artwork and judge accordingly. If there isn't any artwork or reference photos, then they won't have anything to score in this section. Since it's your own design, I would recommend sketching it out or hiring an artist to draw it for you. That way you have a reference to include in your build book. (Though you can still compete without the artwork if you choose.) I hope this helps! This sounds like such a beautiful cosplay idea!

Those instructions are so difficult to follow. I'm glad I could help!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope you will share your competition build when you're ready. I'd love to see it!

Thank you!

I use Canva! They have preset templates I believe under their 'marketing book' section. It's a great place to start for formatting and layout!

@@silwencosplay oh, that's awesome! thank you so much!

Yeah! I will be attending Momocon, but not as a guest this year.

Awe, thank you so much! This is probably my third iteration of my Moon wig. I think I finally got it just right.

Thank you for this information, I didn't know that! It's such a beautiful story.

Ugh, I want to rant so much about the costume they stuck Rachel Zegler in. It might be the worst Disney has ever done. I'm waiting until the movie is released before I give my commentary. Maybe it gets better?

I'm sorry that you also suffer from these horrific migraines. It's been years since I've had one last this long. I'm excited to share out the final look! I put all of the pieces together last night (minus the top dress detailing) just to see it all for the first time. It's all coming together!

Totally fair point! I let my frustration run with that one, lol.

I still absolutely love that dress!

@silwencosplay omg me too, everything about it is beautiful. I bet you wanna have that gown. Wish i had it too. Looks amazing on lily.

@@MarijnKroes-v9g I do want to own it! It's been on my to make list for so long, but it's so intimidating.

@@silwencosplaymaybe you should do it one day.

I'm happy to clarify if you have questions!😊

Good question! My build book is the last thing I make. It is a good idea to make one as you go, so that you don't forget anything you'd like to call out, but personally, I can't bring myself to focus on it until the end. I don't like interrupting my creative process to take photos/update a build book. That's actually why I started recording videos in the first place, to take screenshots for my book instead of taking individual photos.

I was so surprised, I really thought crepe back was the safe option to try. I never thought it would be that bad. 😭

I'm glad I'm not the only on that thought so! And I am terrible about ordering swatches. I've been forcing myself to do so for this build and I am SO glad I did.

Thank you so much! I think you should give it a try! 🙂You will meet so many amazing people backstage and learn so much from them. And it's nice to have a place to show off your hard work.

@@silwencosplay I definitely want to once I graduate college in a few months and have more free time. Also, you should totally make a video on what makes a good competition cosplay, it sounds super interesting!

@@maeish9471 Keep me posted! I'd love to see what you create! And I've added this video to my to make list, so more to come! 🙂

Hi! Thank you for your content. This was a project I started in the middle of 2020, and with everything going on at the time and issues the pandemic was taking on my mental health, I never got around to finishing it. I do want to start this project over someday, but it is not on my current cosplay build list for the next year.

I'm so happy you feel inspired! I will always say, do it! At least once. You don't need to make your cosplay to start. I actually started with a purchased Sailor Moon outfit, then bought a Cinderella dress. Honestly, the main reason I got into making my own was that I needed to alter the purchased ones so much, it just made sense to start from scratch. And then I fell in love with it.

@@silwencosplay I already sew so I would make my own! just have to figure out who I want to be

@@clairewulf Keep me posted! I'd love to see what you create!

@@silwencosplay everything I make I put on this UA-cam channel 💗

Yes! That was her! I'm hopping in to update the description now, thank you for letting me know! And thank you for your lovely compliment! I'm glad you found the comparison helpful. 🙂

Thank you! I need to get a new walking foot and try that next time.

Aw, thank you so much! Glad to have you here! 🙂

I really wanted that first trim to work, but sometimes you just have to call it. And I'm so glad I did! I think this gold leather will also tie into the other leather pieces I plan to make. I'm going to see if I can work it into any other parts of the build. I think I will try to see if I can wet mold it without destroying the finish. It would be amazing to use it around some of those appliques. And thank you for the wonderful advice! I was trying to push myself out of my comfort zone with that neckline. 🙂 We will see how I feel as this goes on. A fichu would be fun! Or maybe some nude fabric to mimic the low neckline.

I don't know if you mean for it to be or not, but the way this comment is phrased is very critical. If you want a certain kind of content from a creator, I don't think that's the appropriate way to go about it...

@@Ventura0404 Thank you for your comment. So, I have two types of videos that I make. I have the cosplay progress updates, which is what this video is and then I have my in-depth, tutorial type videos that show everything that I did and how I did it. The updates are general chatty videos where you all get to see me talk through my thought processes, mistakes, corrections etc. I'm able to post these on a weekly basis and keep my channel active and help keep me on track with my crafting. The in-depth videos take me so much longer to make, weeks to months depending on what I'm making. So the updates fill in the time between the other videos. I also post shorts in the meantime as well. I hope this helps! I will have detailed videos on the construction of the bodice, skirt, crinoline, wig, and accessories for this build over the next several months!

@@silwencosplay Like I said I don’t need it but it would be nice you give more information a little closer together.

@@TheStitchedSeal I’ve asked before I don’t need it. My thing is if you’re gonna talk about it show people. It’s not that hard.

Thank you so much!

Yeah, I have no idea! Maybe I missed a panel or miscut something. And thank you! It won't shine as much as Cosmos, but I think it'll still have a good presence on stage. 🙂

Thank you for letting me know! I'm not sure what happened. But I republished the video and it seams to be working now.
