Elsa

After getting into Frozen, I wanted to cosplay Elsa. I wanted to do her distinctive Snow Queen outfit, but I also really liked her coronation outfit...so I did both. Also, 2014!me was less comfortable with presenting fem, so my first Elsa cosplays were genderbent versions. The process for both was going through a series of designs to come up with a male version that I liked the appearance of, finding a place that sold vests with patterns I liked for the coronation vest and the ice crystal vest, thrift shopping for light blue pants and shirt, sewing the cloaks, and making the custom gemstone and snowflake clasps. The wig is a pretty awful costume store wig I should really replace at some point (and might do if I do a Frozen II!Elsa cosplay).

I did later buy a Snow Queen Elsa dress and wig, and started doing more make-up with my existing outfits.
