Hello! ~ I am working on my Princess Serenity anime version cosplay. It needs to be done before Aug. 15. I have the dress done. I am not sure how to make the sleeves or what material to make them from. Also, what materials should I use for the top decorations (circles, beading,etc.)? Another thing is the back bow. I really want it to look like this: http://www.setsunakou.com/resinmodel...nity18bows.jpg
Just maybe not that long. I want to make it out of either the white or pink fabrics here: http://www.joann.com/crinkle-pearliz...rs/xprd728565/
Which color do you think would look better? Also, how do I make the bow have that shape?

If you could give me detailed instructions with pictures or a tutorial that would be great! Thanks!

For the sleeves I used craft foam that I heated and sandwiched between two bowls till they curved right. Than layered them up using a pattern to make it look like her sleeve, painted and glossed them. And a little bit of elastic to hold them up.
This is what mine looked like in the end:

Wow! Those look awesome! How many sheets of foam did you use? I wish I could make mine look that good.

Probably 4-5 of the larger size ones, but since they're about a dollar a sheet its pretty cheap to make. XD I'm sure yours will look great. =3
