Have you tried sex/fetish shops? They always seem to have white, knee-high boots. You may also try looking for white rain-boots.

You look sooo good!
Congrats on great Ema!

For the white things on Trucy's cape (where the card suits are printed on), I plan on using Iron-ons. But just out of curiousity, how large did other trucy's make this? I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of 7 inches long and 4 1/4 inches wide, but even then it looks on the small side... Ideas?

Trucy's cape is supposed to have 9 of the white diamonds I believe, but when I used measured out nine of my own- they were huge! So I made my diamonds roughly 8 by 4 so they kept their tall shape, but used 13 of them instead. Most people like theirs bigger it seems, but I like my petite ones~

I think I have a pic of my cape in progress somewhere, if you're interested. But right now it's off to work with me~

hey guys. I'm working on a vest/cosplay for someone, and I just need a bit of help!

For Godot, what colors are his shirt and vest? They seem to vary in every picture and the game LOL

I've never done Godot, but I would have to say your safest bet would be to find/make something similar to this:

In other news: I officially hate clay.

That diamond size is about the same as mine (except instead of 4.5in it was 5in), and I was able to get away with having only nine. :D

Thanks guys for sharing what you guys did for the Trucy Cape.

@Cloaked: No problem, I hope that helps.

@BoredHorror: That is so beyond awesome, you have no idea. It really is.


@Anyone cosplaying as Trucy: Did anyone else as many problems as I'm having trying to make Trucy's buttons? I've managed to make one. The others are either totally demented looking or the wrong size.

I am having so much trouble with those. I can't get the 3d effect, only flat diamond shapes and then keep turning up bubbly and horrible looking when I take them out of the oven ><

[Kaitie]

Well what I've been doing is using a tool to push the clay up to make the 3-D effect. And it sounds like (but I'm no clay expert here) that you might be baking them with too hot a temperature. Try lowering it a few degrees when you try it again.

[SilverWind]

Start with a chunk of clay about as high as you want the diamond to be, then cut the sides out from there. I found it worked well for mine.

[xSnow]

I saw some earrings while I was out shopping the other day that looked just like Trucys buttons. I think it might have been suggested before, but why not alter something like that instead of clay?
