Frozen’s Elsa cosplay build (part 1)

This year’s FanExpo is around the corner already. Persephanie wants to be Elsa from the Disney movie, Frozen. And, of course, it has to be the ice queen version.  (sigh… along with every other 6 year old girl) O well, she’s the boss.

So.. off to the fabric store we go!

For the sleeves, instead of sewing some sheen material, I’ve decided to just use a pair of children’s pantyhose. Got lucky with this one.. it already has a pattern on it! SCORE!

Man, I really should take some sort of sewing class or something. I had been 'winging it' for awhile now.
