Pirate 2p England cosplay help
Okay so I need some cosplay help (if I put this in the wrong area please tell me so I can place it in the right place.) But anyway I need some cosplay help with Pirate 2p England. I have looked online but it seems no one has made this cosplay yet I can understand why since its really unique. But I was wondering if any of you guys could maybe suggest patterns I can use to make the cosplay? If you could I would very much appreciate it!

From the looks of the photo that you provided, it looks like it might be something you will need to make yourself or get commissioned.
EDIT: Ignore my post. I misread your message...:P

Do you have a fabric store in your area? you should take that picture in to them and ask. A 3 musketeer pattern or something along those lines should work for this. Not sure for the long vest. You can make that pattern yourself though out of a sleeveless shirt, tracing it out and making it long..Then adding the collar. Then adding the detail (you have to make this yourself though as I guarantee there are no patterns for them. Then if you want you can sew it to the shirt.

I have a joann's fabric store in my area. maybe I could try looking there?
![]() do you think you can maybe send an example of the making the long vest? knowing me I might forget how to do it. and it would be good to have an example to base it off of. I really appreciate the advice thanks so much!

That's the perfect place to find the correct pattern. Just bring the picture in and say, "I need to know the name of a pattern for this style" and they should be able to give you a name.
By this I mean they will say look in our books on that table (and point to it) and say look under costumes then find the pattern that says this or that (in this case I said 3 musketeer) then once you find it look in the draws they have labeled for the pattern and buy the one that has your sizes. Well I cant SHOW an example but I can explain it..First you take your sleeveless shirt (guys wear them a lot, they just look like a t-shirt but it looks like they forgot to sew the sleeves on) If you don't own one a pattern for the same type may be cheaper, but for this situation I will give you what you asked. So you trace the outline on 2 fabric pieces but make it as long as you need it), the back one will be the exact outline, the front you want to make a line in the middle (where it splits) and make the front look like the one in the picture (in this case there is no other cutting needed then just straight up the middle) then make a collar (you can get a pattern online, all you need is a picture..They aren't that hard. Then attach the collar. Then you sew the sides and top up to look like a vest. For the arrow looking details, you will need to make those in your own hand made pattern and sew it too the back (I don't know if it goes all the way to the back) and slightly to the sides then make loops for it to fit though and sew them on. The front detail I don't know what it is but I'm sure you can just make that design and sew it on.. No problem. Always good to help another cosplayer with their troubling parts ^_^

Hello~
I don't know if you already have this issue sorted out, but I've complied a little list of all the pirate-ish patterns out there. http://www.simplicity.com/p-2198-men-costumes.aspx http://www.simplicity.com/p-1970-costumes.aspx http://www.simplicity.com/p-5402-mens-costumes.aspx http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m521...hp?page_id=915 I suggest going to Joann's when they are having a pattern sale, you'll save tons of money if you buy them at this time. Good luck with your Cosplay! It sounds awesome! I'm cosplaying pirate Iggy(the normal one) and I used simplicity 4923.
