Printing and sizing instructions
 
✧This digital sewing pattern includes ALL of the sizes listed, a size chart can be found in the listing photos. Each size has its own print document and seam allowances are provided. Indigo Patterns is Australian owned, so we predominantly use metric measurements and all files provided are in English only.
 
✧This pattern does not include:
Any physical supplies (eg fabrics, physical paper patterns), this listing is completely digital.
A full costume - we sadly cannot offer fully sewn costumes, but this pattern will help guide you to make your own!
Patterns for accessories or 3d printing files - we love collaborating with creators in the community who specialise in props and 3d printing, links to their supporting work are provided below.
 
✧This sewing pattern is designed with less experienced sewers in mind due to the abundance of newcomers to the cosplay community! However, it does assume some common knowledge and experience with using a sewing machine/patterns in general is something you will need to have. If you're completely new to sewing, I recommend exploring the many helpful youtube videos out there that guide first-time sewers with using a sewing machine, working with a pattern and preparing supplies. Links to resources for trickier techniques however, are provided where relevant and lots of photos are accompanied by detailed explanations in the instructions.
 
✧This pattern is designed for woven, non-stretch fabrics and is not suitable for knit fabrics. Below are some suggestions for fabrics (but these are by no means exhaustive!):
Cape fabric - I used a combination of Duchess satin, taffeta and velveteen. For structure flatlining and buckram for the collar was necessary. Custom printed cape fabric can be found here: https://dangerousladies.ca/products/rheas-cape-fabric?_pos=3&_sid=2ec2723a2&_ss=r
Dress fabric - your choice of medium weight woven fabric. I used duchess satin, heavier weight satins would work well, as would most varieties of satin. Avoid knit fabrics.
Lining fabric
Interfacing for collars, cuffs and waistbands - medium weight woven or non-woven.
 
✧You will also require:
Dress zipper
Shoulder elastic 1/4 - 1/2" wide
Cape rigging hardware (magnets or snaps are strongly recommended
Materials for your preferred type of embellishments - eg fabric paint, fabric appliques, embroidery, HTC etc
Your preferred hardware for attaching accessories
 
 
✧This pattern works fabulously with these accessories/props from my beloved collaborators:

Supplies may vary depending on your preferred construction method and favoured materials. You do not need to use the same materials as me!
