I made a corset out of Milwaukee tool bags! This started as a bit, but then it looks... kind of great? So I bought a tool belt and made myself a full on MKE superhero for dragoncon. Full photoset available in my links! 😘 #sewing #DIY #corset #thisoldhouse #chimeracostumes

I made this renfaire skirt from 1990s curtain fabric, and the corset is double layered coutil. The texture of the material makes such a difference to how the completed cosplay looks! #chimeracostumes

What if vampires have pale faces because they're still wearing their 18th century lead makeup? #cosplaymakeup #vampirelife #18thcenturyfashion #sewing #chimeracostumes

Does jeans with a corset count as Neo-Victorian ? I feel like it does #ootd #Sewing #cosplay #ChimeraCostumes
