  • Cosplayer Beverly Downen shows Adam her new Dune Stillsuit cosplay that she just finished in time for this past weekend's SiliCon convention! Beverly walks us through the foam and fabric construction of this costume and how it captures the intention of the film's costume designers. It's so convincing that Adam is even fooled by one particular part of it!

    This is the kind of cosplay that I aspire to - as a 40 year old guy you always get strange looks saying you make costumes as a hobby. I'm two years into researching an Assassin's Creed costume very casually trying to strike that balance between historical authenticity and game accuracy. It's a labour of love and a lot of learning, congratulations on such a great result 👍

    Y'know, I realized something.
    I think this is the first time I've seen a camera pan down a woman's body in a way not designed to be sexualized and male-gazey but to genuinely focus on the detail of the clothes she's wearing. It focused on her shoulder piece, not her breast; on her leg armor, not her thigh; her abdomen, not her groin. Even when it drew attention to the detailing of her hip plate and codpiece, it focused close enough that you couldn't tell what you were looking at.
    Thank you, camera person, for your respect and professionalism.

    I made a run of Dune 2021stillsuit parts on the RPF and just the research to make those took months .
    Those suits are actually incredibly complex with the overlap and layering and actually built to be comfortable and with being able to run , jump and fight with in mind.
    The costume designers knocked it out of the park.
    Also the shoes used appear to be using Reebok soles or some very similar soles but were custom made the closest match are Japanese canvas boots made by a company called Fugu.
