So I reused my Daenerys costume for a ‘Around the World’ themed party, like as if I’d wanna do Earth. Totally did Westeros and pretended to be a dothraki handmaiden, didn’t feel like wearing the wig. So here are some nice pictures with my costume shown and a silly one! Enjoy!

Also, the only thing running through my head when seeing these photos is ‘DAENERYS GOT ON A BOAT’ 

Supanova is in two weeks but man that dress is beautiful. I felt like I didn’t have enough inspiration to do it this year! :( Damn. 

Basically all I’m doing at supanova this time is dying my hair purple and wearing a cute dress.

If you guys see any cosplays from this season which would just be magical, let me know which episode and I will start for my November cosplay!! Itd be a shame to only use my wig for one costume :D

Khal Drogo. His costume was so accurate. I really didn’t know how to pose with him. He was pretty busy at the time. I really considered asking him to do a photoshoot with me later. But Supanova can be reeeally tiring. 

Peasant.

Unedited. I found Jon Snow. 

I’ve been working on this for the past week. What do you think? :D 

I will still be able to do Dany, but on the side I’m thinking of doing Sansa as well. What do you guys reckon?

Cosplay as Daenerys Targaryen from Season 2 Red Waste Scenes.

Firstly, I’d like to show you the way the Bodice armour straps looked on when I had sewed them. Instead of those Safety pins, I used a hole puncher thing and made two holes on each side so I could thread through some string.

Ok So once I got the Bodice Armour staps out of the way, it was time to focus on the Shoulder armour. I think it’s called a Pauldron. Anyway, the piece of armour which covers her shoulder.

If I had more time I would of made it out of Clay foam or Sculpey. And I nearly did make it out of Sculpey, but I didn’t have enough. So the cheapest, and easiest option I could think of was this. Using my own shoulder, I wrapped it in Aluminum foil. Then I wrapped it in duck tape to make it stiffer, and so the shape would not loose when I took it off my shoulder. I then cut it in an outline of what I wanted it to be.This is what it looked like when I took it off.

Then whilst scrummaging around the cheap bin at Spotlight looking for leather large enough to cover this, I came across some cheap grey vinyl. And I thought, even though its not the right colour its the right stiffness and it would look like leather once painted. So I pinned the vinyl over the top of the stencil. And I had to make those indents, as it was curled. Which is the worst thing about using this method. Using craft foam or sulpey wouldn’t work like that!

I then used some special- really old- glue that dads had in the garage for ages because our hot glue gun broke! This glue worked so much better than my hot glue gun though. It’s called “Selleys Kwik Grip Gel: Contact Adhesive” I just grabbed a quick picture off google, The link will probably break one day. But its not hard to google. I am probably gonna use this glue everytime now! Only problem is it drys yellow, so you cannot use it for places which would be seen. 

Next I painted it using my acrylic paint, just made a brown suitable.

See? Looks like leather! Anyway, I cut out some brown fabric and glued it to the inside so that Id have somewhere to sew and attach it to the main bodice. I attached a strip of leather on the bottom sides of the armour to make it stay within my arm. and I also painted all of that dusk tape as well, just don’t have a picture of it.

Next I sewed it using the string from the chaff bag which I also used for sewing the braid and such to attach it at different points to the bodice armour straps. I wouldn’t use this rope again, infact next time I sew it (cause its currently broken) I am going to use some black string elastic. Cause I found that when I would move my arm, it would cause stress to the connection. Elastic would allow me to move my arm as I please.

this is how the armour ended up looking like, I used some black paint to distress, as well as a cheese grater (gently) on the bodice, and then added some salt as in all the scenes she wears this costume she is in a desert atmosphere. Like how are you not gonna get sand everywhere?

Just quickly, I added details to the shirt such as the brooch. The brooch is half a belt buckle I found at spotlight. Dany’s brooch is meant to be fully circular with a pin. But seeing as I just wanted it done, and the armour would cover half of it anyway I just stuck with the semi-circule and sewed it in the spot I knew the bodice would cover the other half. As you can see, the first two images are from screen shots from the actual show. The third is the belt buckle I used.

This next photo has everything that I had packed clothes wise  (besides sewing kit, etc).  You can see from the photo there are a pair of light beige pants on the top right, I bought some new plain pants from Cotton On, and just messed them up. They were $40.. but I didn’t have time for Op Shopping. You can also notice from this picture, the actual colour of the top and the added detail of those lines you see. If I had more time I would sew and re-sew them just to get them perfectly straight and thick. Hers looks like a strap of some kind which is sewed on to the top.

- See? I don’t even know what it is.

And thats it! That’s all I did! I will post some full body pictures of me in full cosplay soon! And some pictures from Supanova! :D Thank you so much for reading guys!

Anyone aspiring to do this cosplay I really hope you have got something out of this! And I’d wish you luck! Hardest thing was probably the Shoulder Armour.. it was hard! Anyway, feel free to send me an ask or anything. I shall be keeping this blog from now on. cause I probably will cosplay this again in the future!

Thank you!
