Description

From the moment I saw Simca flying in the sky with her goggles I knew I wanted to cosplay her. Not only she is a cool character to portray but she is also very comfortable to wear.

She definitely became one of my favorite cosplays.

Sooo, I first started her dress using a pattern and a fabric that was pretty heavy. I worked on it for weeks and the results was horrible that wasn't suiting her at all.
So I completely redid it a second time, using a light and stretchy fabric, something she would actually use in order to move freely in Air Trecks, I wanted to be very accurate since she is such a ''free'' and ''light'' character and I needed to be comfortable, it would feel wrong to not be comfy and be able to move freely in a costume of a character that almost flies.

Also the pattern I bought sucks, so I made my own, cut 2 piece of fabric and saw it all together.

I did not make any boot covers because I hate them so I bought green socks and put them over my boots, I know I am missing the white lines on them, I thought I could get away with tape or something but it did not stay in place so I went to the con without some, oh well...I will put some one day

I loved wearing Simca I will wear her again for sure :)
