Allen

I bullshitted this cosplay in two days because I didn’t have the time to start earlier. I don’t understand how I even succeeded because usually making something like this would take me a week or two. Apparently I have some kind of a hidden turbo gear or maybe it’s just the fact that I usually procrastinate way too much. Sure some parts look like I was drunk making them because I was in a hurry but oh well. I didn't finish the edges of the seam allowances and I didn't make a lining and I had to hot glue most of the buttons on it (because I accidentally decorated the backsides) and I'm ashamed of all that - but on the outside it doesn't look that bad I guess. I don't want to make last-minute cosplays ever again though.

I made this for nostalgia reasons -  Allen was actually supposed to be my very first cosplay but I think it’s … the 39th? Didn’t quite go as planned. :———D Anyway, it was fun to finally cosplay him. The costume was really comfortable, too. And by the way, belt bags are underappreciated and actually the best thing ever.   

And thanks to piraattitomaatti Beelzebub for photographing once again!
