Add plaid to make your idol variant 20% cooler.<\/p>\n<p>So, I\u2019ve been a long time fan of the Dead or Alive series. Say what you want to say about boobs, but I enjoy this fight game\u2019s aesthetics and attention to detail &#8211; especially with all the martial arts moves. I did cosplay as Kokoro years ago just as a challenge to get something done before Anime Central. I also have cosplayed as Lei Fang on two separate occasions (swimsuit and waitress).<\/p>\n<p>While Lei Fang is my favorite, why Kokoro? I just thought her idol design is cuter (and I do enjoy playing as Kokoro) and I found the perfect pink \/ purple plaid mix at Sewfisticated. This was a lucky find. I was originally going to shop for Lei Fang\u2019s idol variant (red plaid is easy to come by), but when I saw the pink plaid fabric, I knew I had to get it done. 45 inches and 2.5 yards was cutting it real close. I just had about enough for the skirt, collar, and wrist cuff things.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ko3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"ko3\" src=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ko3.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took fabric that was originally meant for St. Tail and turned it into a jacket. I used Simplicity 4015 to custom make a jacket with puff sleeves. I had to pattern draft the collar and shorten up the jacket. Gold bias trim was bought and added in. I found the perfect gold buttons also at Sewfisticated.<\/p>\n<p>The skirt is the same method I used for eternal senshi skirts &#8211; I just made two circle skirts &#8211; one shorter by 2.5 inches for the above skirt. The skirts have horesehair braid. As you can see, the skirt needs to be ironed. I started Kokoro in August and I had to move between August and September. It\u2019s only recently I started working on Kokoro again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ko2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"ko2\" src=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ko2-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The only things I need are more lace for the skirt, the sleeveless button up shirt, and the tiny tie (I think I have one at my parent\u2019s house?). Otherwise, Kokoro is almost done and ready for the first con of 2014\u2026hopefully.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ko.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"ko\" src=\"http:\/\/scarlet-rhapsody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ko-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Kokoro &#8211; Dead or Alive 5 &#8211; idol variant Idols are now a thing.
