Making a Hobbit Cosplay in 24 hrs using only thrifted materials under $40 with Lady Rebecca Fashions

Ever wanted to know what chaos looks like as a cosplayer/ costumer? Enter ‪@LadyRebeccaFashions‬ and I. Rebecca suggested to me that we make an entire new costume each in 24 hours using only thifted materials with a budget of $40. I said she was crazy, I was in.
And we set the theme of "fantasy"... and we both ended up as hobbits as I think we both appreciate that we are in our hearts, quite hobbit like.
Join us for this crazy adventure! This video focuses mostly on what I created but you should also check out Rebecca's video of her creation too. That can be found: • One Day Upcycled Cospl...

So much fun. I was thinking, "Her friends are so much more fun than mine!" Then it hit me!!!! I need to be more fun. ME. I. This girl. I need to let my fun play! Thank you for the inspiration. (And, I still think that getting to be Lady R.'s friend is such a cool thing.)

[@KirileeCosplay]

Hahaha just always be your authentic self!

[@ambroseelon9989]

I need cosplay pals to do this with me

[@KirileeCosplay]

I would highly recommend. But remember, Rebecca and I live on opposite sides of the world

[@davidhutchison3343]

In 24 hours, I managed to get my costumes jacket cut out !!!!!! I can't believe you both made those wonderful costumes in one day.

[@KirileeCosplay]

It was chaos. But it was a lot of fun

[@elisabethnoorduin8943]

So much fun! I can't believe you both made a vest in a day - and all the rest. And that border 'round the cloak - so fancy!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you so much!

[@aksez2u]

I love how the colors in both your costumes go together! Great job!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you so much!

[@honoraweaver788]

I love your laughter and enthusiasm for everything. Your costumes turned out great. You would fit right in at a renaissance festival.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Yes! Thank you! We embraced the chaos.

[@lesleyharris525]

Looks like you had a great time with Rebecca, and very cute hobbit outfit for you both ❤

[@KirileeCosplay]

It was! Thank you

[@katwitanruna]

Always put in the pockets!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Always

[@twinnish]

I love seeing you in my hometown stomping grounds. I hope it stopped raining for you and I hope you had a wonderful wonderful visit. Next time you come to Seattle see if Rebecca can take you to the curiosity shop on Seattle waterfront. It’s ridiculous and fun. I think it’s something you could appreciate as a brief touristy stop. I grew up in the area and I still love going to visit seeing what sort of silliness they’ve got going on now

[@KirileeCosplay]

We did that last time we went to seattle - it was gorgeous!

[@ShellyDoss-xm1wx]

I love this collaboration. You both did an amazing job.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

You both looked so wonderful! The two of you looked like you were have so much fun on your videos. Great idea for a challenge

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@liberdelta]

Would love to see more of these cosplay challenges with limits, especially with other types, like armor. As much as I appreciate the work that cosplayers put into their cosplayers, sometimes it feels like too much effort and hours.

[@KirileeCosplay]

I think there is a place for all types of crafting of cosplay/ costumes

[@SandieMitchell]

You ladies did a fantastic job!☺

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you! 😊

[@megankrahl1182]

I love Terry! "This is main character energy. This is side character energy." Perfect description!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Hahahaha he certainly has a way to make it clear for me

[@theoddbody1856]

This is so fun!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thanks

[@wanderingdreams]

Oh yeah I guess you don't need to worry about bears when doing location shoots in Australia, it's not often that I have to worry about bears during mine but a friend and I definitely had to book it out of a location once when "either a very large dog or a coyote just jumped into that lake behind us" (we were in a wooded, mountainous area but still on college grounds even!)

[@KirileeCosplay]

Oh my god, that sounds terrifying

[@kaytiej8311]

All the chaos was great fun. Are the thrift stores as good and as cheap as they seem in comparison to our op shops?

[@KirileeCosplay]

They are cheaper in some ways. So for example, the bed linens were about 5-10 dollars USA which is about 9-18 ish dollars I think. I’ve seen some bed linens in our op shops for up to $40!

[@lilykatmoon4508]

I just discovered your channel through Rebecca’s video. This was so much fun, and I am absolutely, 1000 percent, behind this whole hobbit core vibe! I really love how you tied together the bodice fabric with the cape. It really elevates the costume to the next level. I’m very impressed with what y’all accomplished in such a short time. I’m definitely going to check out your channel. You seem like so much fun. Take care.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel!

[@StephanieCanada]

These came out SUPER CUTE!! ❤❤❤

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you mate! We had a ball.

[@dee-annegordon5959]

Loved watching this challenge from both points of view. It looked like you both had a lot of fun.

[@KirileeCosplay]

It was! There was so much laughter

[@armedvsokord]

Clearly Terry knows things and you should trust his taste more. 😊

[@KirileeCosplay]

I agree

[@whitneynewton9063]

I love what you two created together ! What a fun project to do as sewing buddies!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Absolutely good fun indeed

[@teddy-3765]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

[@KirileeCosplay]

:)

[@jayneterry8701]

I just watched Rebecca's video and Ive enjoyed meeting you and ty Terry ( for costume advice and filming) and watching your version! 😀💖 You both look great and perfect scenery to film in! Ps Did you get on the plane in costume? Hope your trip home was stress-free.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you! It was all such fun! I took the costume home with me and I have already worn the chemise dress again for a small reel on Instagram. Love it!

[@vickitimlin7558]

I’ve never been able to hear the ‘naur’ type accent that people say Australians have, until I heard you speaking compared to Rebecca’s accent 😂 I must hear it too much here in Perth for it to actually register 😂

[@KirileeCosplay]

It’s so true. A few people asked Terry and I to say “no” which we obliged lol

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Super fun!!!!!!!

[@KirileeCosplay]

It really was!

[@TheCatLady65]

That fabric was a good choice, really stunning 🤩

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you so much!

[@cynthiadugan858]

❤ you both look great!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you!!

[@patriciapost962]

Regular Rebecca watcher here. Enjoyed watching her video had to come watch yours too. Well done! Amazing work in so little time. 🧵

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Nessi-dances]

Glad that you had fun! Late night crazy sewing is good once in a while 🤣! Off to watch Rebecca's video now. 💜💜

[@KirileeCosplay]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@karengoldie6801]

Well done, ladies! What a fun idea!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thanks so much!

[@lindseybotelho]

Well done!!!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thanks!

[@margarethall1625]

Your outfits turned out so cute and awwdorable. It's so funny how you both did similar things but how different your individual costumes turned out.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Right?! I love how they look like they were from the same universe but just different set of characters

[@margarethall1625]

@@KirileeCosplay actually I thought you two lovely ladies looked like you could be sisters.

[@davidlove236]

This was so much fun to watch! When you showed us your full costume, you said pretty much my sum up in my head right after I thought it! The costume turned out great - and you really do look like a hobbit next to Rebecca!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Glad you liked it!! Thank you for watching!
