[@KirileeCosplay]

jollymadhatter thank you so much! It was a fair amount of work but it’s a pretty comfortable one to wear so I’ll bust it out again sometime

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

LOVED this! I love seeing this type of video ❤ I would love to see more for your future projects documented like this :3

[@KirileeCosplay]

Annie Chie awesome!! Thank you so much for your feedback. They are fun to have on in the background- and then to see the finished garment.

[@imaperson4559]

[@KirileeCosplay]

Good luck!

[@AmyTheJawsTerminator]

I was so excited to see you do this, as I've always wanted to do this too!!!! You look amazing as Christine! 💖💖💖

[@KirileeCosplay]

PhantomhiveSass why not give it a go? :) If I can somehow put this together- anyone can! XD

[@HoneebunnySapphire]

This turned out so well! Christine's dress was the only thing I liked when I watched Phantom of the Opera, so it's really great to see your take on it.

[@KirileeCosplay]

I’m glad you liked it

[@hasumeokaasan6533]

you looked amazing! Great work on this costume!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Hasume Okaasan thank you so much!!

[@hasumeokaasan6533]

you were magnificent, and that wig looked spectacular on you. All your hard work really paid off! Speaking as one seamstress to another, the amount of cool thought and sheer blood sweat and tears that went into this is impressive. Congrats on finding a real world application to our love of cosplay. (I do this for May the 4th and October 31st, naturally.)

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you again so much!

[@Lockert97]

This is such a beautiful piece of art. I'd really love to somewhen follow your video to make my own dress with your help.

[@KirileeCosplay]

I hope you do make it ^_^ and I hope my video helped :)

[@amandaherbert7287]

[@KirileeCosplay]

[@KS-wo5qd]

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you!

[@fashionwork540]

Wowwwwwweeeeeeee amazing creation mam i like it soooooo much by heartly❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@KirileeCosplay]

fashion work thanks so much!

[@rikkihutchinson8277]

I am not sure if this will work with dyes but it is tried and true with acrylic paint. To get a nice purple like you were trying for mix magenta with the closest dye you can find in ultramarine blue shade. Great job x

[@KirileeCosplay]

Rikki Hutchinson thanks for the tip!

[@ragamuffin5652]

Do you have a video on how to scallop bodices like that?

[@KirileeCosplay]

I do not, but thank you for the suggestion. There is no major trick to it, just be sure to clip down the seam allowance and clip at the point to almost the sewing line

[@PunkHimeMaybe]

Really enjoyd watching this Video! :) I'd love to see more of that kind! Also the costume looks amazing *O*

[@KirileeCosplay]

Doscartha thank you so much! I hope I can do more :)

[@jennymyers6498]

could you pls tell how u put that lil sparkles in the top of the dress?

[@KirileeCosplay]

The ones on the ruffles are rhinestones that are glued on. The sparkles on the bodice are beads :)

[@mangotangostuff]

love your videos!

[@KirileeCosplay]

mango tango thank you for the support ^_^

@@KirileeCosplay Most welcome, it's my one of my top favorite costumes from Christine!!!! Awesome job!!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you so much! It was a fun one to make!

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

This is so beautiful 😍😍 do you maybe have a tutorial on how to scallop fabric and sew it without it looking weird? 😅🥰

[@KirileeCosplay]

I can try! Thanks for the idea... I must admit, I always get a bit anxious when I see scallops on a cosplay LOL

[@user-go1fl4ox2q]

thank you so much for this! i'm super beginner but i'm making this my project t=for 2019. :)

[@KirileeCosplay]

memey oh wow! Good luck! I hope you can learn from my mistakes!

[@reverland735]

This is sooo pretty! I want to convince my mom to make this dress, any tips on the hanging beads at the top of the bodice? And any tips on the skirt? (The petticoat and the overskirt) Also how long did it take you to make the full costume?

[@KirileeCosplay]

Use strong thread that isn’t prone to snapping when doing the hanging beads. It took about 100 hours of labour time- a lot of which was the beading.

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

I saw one just like it online. I had to order it.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Cool

[@Fluffyeggwhites]

How did you figure out how long your boning had to be? I've been having issues with it. I'm using steel spiral and normal straight steel boning how much of either do I need? I'm using the pattern to make a lace up corset. Please help me.

[@KirileeCosplay]

An easy way to start is follow your bodice's seams for placement. Measure the length along the seams, take off your seam allowance from the top and the bottom, and then take off about another 2 - 2.5cm. That generally works I've found :) I hope that helps

[@Fluffyeggwhites]

@@KirileeCosplay thank you so much ♡ I adored your cosplay you did so amazing on it

[@charlottewallis7225]

can i substitute beads for silver thread or sequins?

[@KirileeCosplay]

You can do whatever you like for your own costume ^_^ I chose beads because that is that was used on the broadway costume

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

So how do you make the crown?

[@KirileeCosplay]

I believe I go through it in the video. I put the moon and stars on wire and attached it to a hair comb

[@sarah-the-dog-lover]

Do more!

[@KirileeCosplay]

There is another cosplay vlog coming in the next week and a bit for my most recent cosplay- stay tuned!
