independent and is completely capable of taking charge of most situations. There are
quite a few rather large differences between Sophie in the book and in the movie. To
be entirely honest I didn't really care for Sophie all that much the first time I saw the
movie. I didn't hate her, but she didn't seem like an overly wonderful character. It
wasn't until after I read the book that I really gained a proper appreciation for her.
She is so much stronger and just all around more interesting.
So I decided to make this costume right after I finished reading the book. The dress
itself is made out of a polyester wool blend. The bloomers, petticoat and apron are
all made out of a cotton broadcloth. The lace trim on the petticoat, bloomers and
collar are all matching cotton eyelet. All of the patterns were drafted by me! And I
have to say I am quite happy with how everything turned out! Also I love my fabric
covered buttons! One thing I am not happy with is the wig.. I was trying to cut it
without a razor comb or thinning scissors, so the layers are... not layered and the
cut turned out all choppy. I suppose it works with the whole "Calcifer burning her
hair off" but I would really like to re cut the wig! I also made the Calcifer! He is just
yellow funfur which I gradient dyed after it was sewn together and then stuck
google eyes on! Calcifer can be seen here ^^
As for the redone Howl costume all the information on that can be found here
Debut: 2010 Toronto Cosplay Picnic
Howl is modelled by the great TrickyLove
