Fluttershy Cosplay

**Fluttershy Cosplay** was the 10th post on the Cozplai blog.

If you guys would like some more thorough instructions on how I made each piece, here they are:

**Shoes:** I felt like Fluttershy’s shoes would be girly, but not to the point of being a heel, so I went with cute little flats. To create the shoes, I took a basic pair of white bow flats and painted them pale yellow using a gloss. You can make a gloss paint by simply mixing acrylic paint with water.

Then I super-glued some small crystals on the sides to look like Fluttershy’s cutie mark. I also added a few crystals to the top of each shoe.

**Dress:** I was pretty nervous tackling this dress, but was very pleased with the results. To make the bodice I cut 4 small panels and sewed them together. I made two of these (one for the front, one for the lining). I gathered a small piece of sheer fabric and then sewed that to the front of the bodice. Then I sewed the two main pieces together. After this, you kinda just keep adding side panels until you get it as wide as you’d like. Then just add a zipper! I also decided to sew ribbons to the underneath so that I could tie it around my neck. I also glued a huge bow to the center of the bust.

The bodice is not attached to the skirt, I just tucked it in. So to make the skirt, I cut two large circles out of fabric and then sewed some cute trim onto the bottom. I used a lace trim on the bottom layer and a cute iridescent pink trim on the top. Next, I gathered the tops of each and then sewed the two layers together. Then I added a small zipper to the back and sewed the whole thing onto a thick satin ribbon. Final step, just paint on the cutie mark!! :)

**Wings:** I created the wings out of craft foam. So basically, I just cut 3 shapes for each wing and then glued them together. I cut small holes out of the sides and inserted grommets for a nice polished look. I then painted them yellow and gave them a nice gloss coating with Mod Podge. I laced the wings together using some thin pink ribbon and then attached them to the bodice using industrial strength velcro.

**Tail:** I made a tail by chopping off a wig and placing a hair tie around it. For a nicer look, I wrapped a ribbon around the top. I also attached a clip to the ponytail so that I could secure the tail under the skirt (pinned to my underwear, haha) I cut a tiny hole in the back of the skirt for the tail to come through.

**Necklace:** To make the butterfly necklace, I cut a tiny piece of thin plastic (from packaging or something) and super-glued little crystals onto it. I also glued a jump ring to the top so that I could string it on a chain.

**Earrings:** I made the earrings in the same way that I made the necklace, but then I glued the piece onto a dangling earring.

**Bracelets:** I created the bracelets by stringing some pink pearls with a few iridescent beads.

**Wig:** I was really lucky to find the perfect pink wig on ebay. Then I changed the part and cut some layers in it. I pinned back one side with a rose hair clip I made (silk flowers glued to a hair clip) and then braided back the other.

**Ear:** I went back and fourth over whether or not I should make two ears. Of course, Fluttershy has two ears, but only one of them is visible since her hair is parted so far to the side. I decided to only do one after realizing how time-consuming the process was. To make it, I molded some Model Magic clay and gave it 20 coats of Mod Podge gloss. This basically made it look shiny and plastic. Then I painted it yellow and glued some bobby pins to the bottom so I could pin it in my hair.

I hope this helps someone! Sorry if it’s a bit confusing! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in a comment!
