Introduction:
Inuyasha was a
costume I thought I was gonna make for sure for halloween
2002, but when I realized a Dilandau costume WASN'T
impossible, Inuyasha was put aside. Eventually the odds
of me cosplaying him were so slim I almost removed the
costume from my page entirely. But when I came across a
necklace simular to his and found both the red and white
fabric for awesome prices, I couldn't resist! The urge to
cosplay hit! Besides, the red fabric I found was
GEORGOUS!
How
it was Made:
- Red Shirt: I made the pattern
from scratch. The slits in the sleeves were done
by having the sleeves being two peices and sewing
them together. Black lines were made by glueing
on felt strips.
- White Shirt: I used the same
original pattern from the red shirt, but made the
sleeves narrower.
- Red Pants: Another original
pattern. Made them absolutely huge for the poofy
look, 48" around the ankles. Elastic was
string through the ankles and a tie at the front
was adjustable to make the pants fit better. |

-White
Pants: Another original pants pattern.
- Necklace: I found a voodoo necklace in
a Halloween shop with black beads and fangs. Bought that,
took it apart and remade it.
- Wig and Ears: I got a long white wig
and sewed on a short white wig over it for a fuller look.
The ears were sewn onto the wigs.
Hardest Task:
Nothing! This was a sickenly easy costume. Only required
3 days of sewing, all of which I only spent about 2
hours. I guess sewing the two wigs together was a pain
though. Hair was everywhere. O_o;;;
Favorite Aspect:
THE PANTS! THEY'RE SO POOFY I LOVE THEM! XD I was worried
when I made them 48" around my ankles, that's a lot
of fabric! When I sewed them and strung the elastic
through, it looked so incredibly accurate I was
SCREAMING!
Flaws:
The long white I got was nice, but it thins out a lot, so
the wig cap showed a lot. So I had to sew my short white
wig ontop of it. It looks good, but the long hair itself
is still thin and I'm not thrilled with it. It doesn't
cover my hair completely.
Horror Stories:
When I bought the white wig, I had to clean it up a bit,
since it was tangles-galore. Unfortunately, the hair from
it is popping up everywhere. O_o
