Hello my lords and ladies, it’s me Agatha! You are well on your way to
becoming the most powerful ruler in all the kingdom, but to really immerse
yourself in our world, you must go one step farther. Today’s quest is to build
the most epic cosplay ever. You’ll dress as me of course! Now gather all
your resources and good luck! Hey guys what’s up? Trisha Hershberger
here and today I’m going to show you how I built my, Agatha, cosplay from
the mobile game, Clash of Kings, on iOS and Android. She’s the essential
female character from the game and she’s the one who tells you everything
you need to know when it comes to building a strong kingdom and
annihilating your enemies. I like a girl who knows her strategy. You can see,
Agatha’s, basic look. She’s got long blonde hair parted to the side. A long
white dress with gold trim. A golden tiara and earrings. White gloves with
the same gold trim and she’s carrying a pen with a large white feather and
a very big scroll. My plan is to focus on the dress first then the accessories,
props and use hair and makeup to complete the look. You’ll notice the
dress has some interesting physics going on in the chest region as well as
floating trim that comes off the sleeves. And it’s important to do your
research before spending any money on materials. So first I consult with
my friend, Liana, host of, Agents of Cosplay. Alright so I’m stuck! The
material has to be a delicate satin but I don’t want it to be sheer and I want
it to be strong enough to give me the support up top that I need. What do I
go with? Well you’re in luck. There are lots of different kinds of satin. Avoid
silk, go for polyester and you want a crepe back satin. That and a built in
bra will give you the support you need. And as far as the trim on the dress I
have no idea where to go with that. I was thinking some kind of wired cord
but everything I can find is way to thin and won’t show up. What do you
suggest? You can use, Wonder Flex, or you could use corset boning. You
could use different types of cord. Different types of fabric. Braid, twist and
warp till your heart is content. Okay than I think I’m going to with some kind
of twisted or braided cord and maybe just put wire into it myself. Yup, that
sounds like it’ll work. If you’re happy with it, it’s the right way. Wish me luck!
Good luck! Time to start gathering all my resources. I mean shopping. I
chose two types of gold wire. One that is a bit thinner for the earrings and a
thicker version for the tiara so it shows up better. I grabbed blue crystal
beads for the tiara and earrings. A large white feather for the pen and I
found water color paper that had just the right texture for the scroll. Okay
time to focus on the dress. Boob physics are the most challenging part of
any cosplay in my humble opinion. For, Agatha, I decided to build a bra
right into the dress. Got to find the right support for the girls, sorry you don’t
get to see that part. Next it’s measurements then time to get sewing. The
first step is building the support into the dress i.e. covering everything with
the right fabric. Then to build the rest of the dress. It’s time to get sewing
and sewing and sewing. After making the dress three times I finally have a
base white dress I’m happy with. Now for that tricky trim. I went with twisted
cord and used gold thread to hand stitch it directly onto the dress. Time
consuming, but worth it. For the gold belt on the dress I decided to use gold
vinyl which I cut to the correct shape and stuck to the dress using adhesive.
Okay, now for those sleeves. More sewing. Same cord but now I’m twisting
craft wire into the cord so I can shape it to lift off the sleeve like in the
photo. And more hand stitching, phew. Next we turn our attention to
accessories. I made the earrings using thin gold craft wire. I bent the wire in
on itself until I got the desired shape and added a blue bead to match the
picture. I used the thicker floral wire to create the tiara modeling the design
after, Agatha’s, tiara in the game. To make the pen I used and old recorder I
had lying around and sprayed it a metallic gold. Then I used some hot glue
to secure the feather down inside. To create the scroll I first covered the
paper in coffee to get that aged look. Then I pinned the edges so they
would curl like in the photo and then baked the paper until dry. Now that the
major pieces are in place it’s time to finish the look with hair and makeup.
Agatha, parts her long blonde hair to the side so I purchased a skin top wig
enabling me to part the wig however I’d like while still looking natural. The
skin top also extends to the front hairline so it’s a great alternative to a lace
front wig. Because, Agatha’s, features are more angular and mine are
round I’m doing a bit of contouring to my nose and jawline. I’m also using
foundation to lighten my brows. After that I’ll add a bit of blush and bronzer
to the tip of my nose and my ears to match her appearance in game. And
I’ll finish off with some long lashes and peach lips. Now that the look is
complete I can have fun embodying the character and snapping some
photos. Yay cosplay! Guys I hope this video encourages you to get out
there and create. Cosplay could be a lot of work but it’s really rewarding
when you get to bring your favorite characters to life. PS if anyone wants to
play, Clash of Kings, with me I’m in, Kingdom 1164, my name is,
thatgrltrish, and our alliance is, The Dragon Riders. We’re pretty awesome.
