Queen Etherea - Venture Brothers
Why this costume:
A group of friends, who are also huge Venture Brother fan, suggested we do a cosplay group and I was immediately on board! Unfortunately, I was one of the last people to join the group so almost all the females were taken. They were trying to avoid having duplicated, which made me think I might have to sit the group out. I then thought of Queen Etherea who, though is Dr. Girlfriend, is still different enough I confirmed this variation wouldn't be an issue. So, being a huge Dr. Girlfriend fan I knew I had to do one of her outfits and at the time this was definitely her best!
Details:
I didn't go with completely see-through material for the top layer since I wanted to be a little more modest than the costume would actually allow. Plus, when you look at her in this costume it does have a little of a "shadowed" look to it.
I've never had to sew sheer material like this before, it was quite difficult. Slipping and sliding out of place. When I was pinning the bottom hem it took almost an hour to get it straight.
The layer below was made out of a heavy weight cotton that I cut several times to make it match my shape. I got in and out through the right side where I place velcro closures reinforced with snaps. The back attached to the collar of the upper layer to ensure that all pieces stayed in place and that the bottom layer had little room for movement other than my own.
