Ahri Cosplay Walk Through - League of Legends

Hi guys!
I thought it would be a good idea to go through and make a journal entry on how to make an Ahri cosplay. OR pretty much just how I did it

This
*** This is just a tutorial on her TOP. There will be another tutorial on her tails, hair, and shoes and skirt. ***

What you will need:
*3d model is GREAT. I loved having it, since I used her in game art that is! But keep in mind there are differences in the in game models and in the splash art! I use this one ---->
lol.zones.gamebase.com.tw/skin…
*About 2 yards of your choice of white and red fabrics. I used silk because I really liked the way they looked- it was a little harder to cut because it frays a little- but I like the way it turned out.
* Red and white thread.
* Sewing machine
* Red zipper


(1) You will start by constructing a pattern out of poster board. Allow yourself a few inches on the sides for cutting and for sewing. (You also have the option of making the chest a bit bigger if you feel like being over the top with it and doing cosplay boobs. - I didn't do this, but at some point I may remake the top with this in mind) Also cut out the pattern for your sleeves. They should be a little wider at  both ends.

After you cut out your fabric for the shirt, start by placing the inside part of the fabrics on the outside and than sewing the seems together about 1 cm from the edge. Make sure not to sew all the way to the top or bottom so that you can also sew the top and bottom of the shirt.

(2) You will want to cut a strip of the white and make sure once you sew the edges it will be about 2 inches wide. This should be long enough to wrap around the top of your chest. Start by attaching the white and where they meet in the center of the back cut a line as long as the zipper. ( don't mind the Velcro just yet- has to do with attaching the tails.)

(3) Once the zipper and white strip are sewn into place you can then work on the tassel hanging from the front of her dress. I found a lovely slightly large button at the fabric store which I attached using hot glue to a long strip of red fabric. I also used a white wedding key which matched her bow type thing as much as I could- I painted it red to match. (I sewed the edges) that I painted a gold strip on the bottom.

This completes the first step of Ahir's dress!
