Dollieh Sanctuary

Finally finished our Queen Anna & Queen Elsa Finale cosplay costumes! I'm so happy with how they turned out! I hope you like them, too!!!




More photos of our cosplay! For mine, I wanted it made of velvet as described in the F2 artbook, so I was super happy when I found 'glitter velvet' fabric which was PERFECT for this costume!!!! One of the most difficult parts was finding the right sized and shaped gems for the bodice!!!! I'm not sure if you can see in the photos, but I also added thousands of various sized pearl cabochons to the top of the bodice/collar area, to simulate her 'snow ice'. Also, I made sure to make the waist seamless, just like Elsa's! I'm so excited about this one!!! The colors and style are exactly my favorites!!!!
For my sister, her gown is made a deep hunter green/teal suede with satin underskirt and cape lining. We added hundreds of tiny faux crystal gems in cascading size up and down her skirt edges, jacket sleeves and back. I love the Arendelle crest pentagonal buttons on adorning her belt, jacket and cape ends. I made her wig and it suits her perfectly!!!!!!!!


















Some close ups of my bodice and sandals:

You both did such lovely work on the outfits. Love the gradient looks on Elsa's dress.

Oh. My. God.

Awesome job!

Amazing! What gorgeous work! You should be on one of the cosplay reality shows.

And you two leave the house dressed like that?

FANTASTIC!

:laughs: Awww, thank you so much K2-sama! Yes, we usually go out to eat at a Japanese steakhouse restaurant (the chef last year, after he made our dinner, asked to take a photo with us to show his daughters and family! It was so funny! He asked and gave his cellphone to another patron who was sitting at our hibachi table if he could take the photo for him!) and shop at Jo-Ann's, WalMart, usually Home Depot or Lowe's (Dad always needs some home improvement item(s), and we also dress up for our neighborhood Halloween 'trunk or treat' event.
All the little kids want to hug us---they think we're really Elsa and Anna! 0_o :laughs: And some parents, want to take a photo with us to show their kids.

However, this year.....not sure what we can do except for the go out to eat. We'll still do that. But the rest....not sure if we can due to the Covid restrictions and all.

K2-sama, thank you for liking the costumes! We're really excited about them---I really love how they turned out better than I expected!!! THANK YOU!

If you two do not enter that contest, I will hold my breath until I turn blue.
