I love love LOVE designing and sewing original costumes. This is one of my all-time favorite designs that I came up with~ I wanted something fun, poofy, and colorful, so I thought Lolita/Princess Mudkip costume would work great! This was my first time making a corset with boning in it, as well as a layered petticoat. I drafted the patterns for the skirt and arm wraps myself, and styled and custom dyed the wig (originally a silver-grey color), and handstitched in the feathers.
I have more pictures on my American Cosplay Paradise account: [link] I just didn't want to overload my DA by uploading multiple pictures of the costume at once lol~
