She is so thin! And her jacket fits her so closely! I ended up sacrificing a little mobility in the arms for accuracy’s sake, but its not so bad. 😛 I used several different guess-and-test methods of fitting the jacket to my shape and getting it to flare out like Maka’s. So after the jacket was made, I went to work altering what I probably should have taken into account before cutting the fabric. The only problem was that this jacket needed to be fitted, and this pattern was way too big for me. I used the same pattern that I had used for my chrno jacket.
Jacket – the jakcet was quite a task to make. I used white acrylic paint and white broadcloth to make the straps, and model magic fo rthe buckles held on with hot glue.
More than half of it needed to come out.īoots – I made the boots from a pre-existing pair of Bogo boots. Then I trimmed the bangs and thinned the pig tails because Maka’s hair is very thin and I had a TON of hair in these pig tails. I secured the hair with elestics and glue and then covered the elastics with more hair. Once the wefts were in I worked patiently to get all the of the hair into poigtails without bumps or uneven patches. Anyway, I parted the ponytails and added extra wefts of hair to the parting of the wig so that the mesh would not be exposed. I bought a wig from …I can’t remember which one, but it already had bangs and was pretty thick. And I have the right build to cosplay her. I started watching the series and really loved it! Maka is a great character and her costume is pretty cool. Why I made this costume- I made this costume because I was approached by a friend who wanted to do a large cosplay group. I was thrilled with the positive response to my outfit and I thank everyone who complimented me or took the time to ask for my photograph. It was a blast walking around carrying my huge scythe as it drew a lot of attention.
I love how this Costume turned out! It was fairly comfortable to wear, though it did get a little hot sometimes in late may.
