Personal Gallery - Hall Cosplay
The majority of my costumes are just for fun. I've been through a lot of different
fandoms in my day, from card games to boyslove to pirates. What I have featured here are costumes that haven't yet been retired,
or least I don't want to retire them.

Trafalgar Law
Punk Hazard, Dressrosa
One Piece |
Everybody's favorite new character, including mine. I wanted to cosplay the
winter coat version from Punk Hazard as soon as I saw it. Since then I've found personal reasons to want to do all his outfits, even the ugly ones. Only his jeans are purchased,
everything else is mine - including the puffy hat, which I sell on my Etsy!
Costume highlights:
- winter coat features applique around bottom and painted sleeve detail
- asymmetrical coat design is custom-drafted, not from a pattern
- Corazon coat features full hood, sleeve, and back design applique

Roronoa Zoro
all versions
One Piece |
I had been working on Zoro for a couple of years, primarily to get his wig and swords right.
Yes, the swords are completely hand-crafted, from wood and paperclay. I love Zoro and I want all of his outfits except his default white shirt, so what you see pictured
are all the other versions I've done: Enies Lobby, Skypeia, Alabasta, and even the shirt he wears in the Kaizoku Musou video game. Included are poses with a Pell, which I
also sewed for a client.
Costume highlights:
- Every costume piece including pants and haramaki made by me, only boots are purchased/modded.
- Wig custom-dyed with RIT (Arda wig base)
- Some versions feature embroidery, functional pockets, etc.

Portgas D. Ace
One Piece |
Seeing as it's rather difficult for me to go entirely shirtless and I don't like the look of most
bodysuits, I opted for Ace's Alabasta version, as seen only in the anime. Full-length coat, shorts, everything is hand-made. The hat was a straw cowboy hat base, which I had to
draft a cover for and sew it over. Even the beads, bracelet, and log pose are all my own work.
Costume highlights:
- Lined coat is appliqued with flame details
- Log pose is real metal with acrylic dome
- Hat features sewn-on custom cover, Fimo smile/frown, and hand-painted beads

Sanji
Water Seven, Enies Lobby
One Piece |
Proving that I can never do anything small including streetwear, the Water Seven outfit features fabric I pinstriped myself, using fabric paint, and fully tailored shirt and vest to fit my body shape and size.
The Enies Lobby outfit likewise features a suit-coat made from scratch for correct tailoring and full accuracy. The pants and teal shirt are purchased.
Costume highlights:
- orange fabric pinstriped by hand prior to sewing
- belt and belt-chain also handmade to accurate standards
- wig tinted with yellow Sharpie ink

Sanji
Skypeia, Galley-La
One Piece |
Of the multiple outfits Sanji wears, some are less tailored than others. Yet, they still require a lot of work to get right,
both in details and in fit. His pink casual shirt worn on Skypeia is a little ugly, but I wanted a challenge! And after the Enies Lobby arc was over, I loved the Galley-La shipwrights so much I decided
to make the shirts they loaned to all the characters. The pants for both are purchased.
Costume highlights:
- Skypeia shirt entirely hand-painted for accurate "print"
- Galley-La shirt was purchased and re-tailored to fit
- Galley-La logo hand-painted

Monkey D. Luffy
One Piece |
Proof that Master level costumers do still buy and modify clothes!
Really, there's little to no reason to handmake a pair of jeans when it's faster and cheaper to thrift a pair and cut them off. Luffy's vest, however, had to be hand-made
for accuracy's sake. The straw hat was purchased at a re-enactor's fair, but needed a hatband - and a Vivre card.
Costume highlights:
- vest cut and tailored precisely to my figure
- collar and armhole facings give the vest a clean look
- flip-flops modified to have the correct black straps

Kaburagi T. Kotetsu
Tiger & Bunny |
Master level costumers do still purchase parts of their costumes.
For Kotetsu, I managed to find a forest-green dress shirt cheaper than hand-making one, but it still required changing out all the buttons and
changing the sleeves from full-length to elbow-length with no cuff. The vest is hand-made, and the hat is my own pattern and design. The pants and base
shoes were purchased. I also sell Kotetsu's Ivy cap on my Etsy!
Costume highlights:
- Handmade vest with dropped shoulder seam and accurate buttons
- Hat is handmade, with correct red lining, out of accurate fabrics
- Shoe detail is pleather, glued to leather base shoes

Shuuhei Hisagi
Lieutenant
Bleach |
The shinigami shihakusho is fairly simple, but doing it accurately with traditionally-correct materials is something few people do. I went with linen, because it is an inexpensive and readily-available alternative to raimie. The shitagi (white inner kimono) and kosode (black outer kimono) are garment-weight, while the hakama are a delicious heavyweight linen. I also wove the waraji (sandals) myself!
Costume highlights:
- top actually consists of two separate pieces
- special scarring makeup and alcohol-activated tattoo paint are used
- Armband and choker are a special plastic jewelry technique I discovered - Plasti-dip!

Alastair/Amelda
Yu-Gi-Oh |
Yugi isn't the only character from the show that I do. I fell in love with Alastair's huge coat, giving me a reason to lose enough weight to show some skin in his half-shirt. He's fun to do because he's a bad guy, of sorts. And I look great in that wig!
Costume highlights:
- Twill coat has added side gores for 18 feet of flare
- Shirt is custom dye-sublimated using color from screen capture
- Boot covers are real suede leather with heavy leather detailing

Kougaiji
Gensomaden Saiyuki |
Kou came about as a blatant attempt to do a rarely-done character complete justice. Many females love the character, but shy away from his costume because of the open jacket and no shirt. This costume gives me the chance to play with makeup and prosthetics, though my real reason for doing it is the detailed coat.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I am not wearing a shirt. There is tape involved, but no camera tricks.
Costume highlights:
- Jacket features mitred-corner technique on trim, and actual metal harness on shoulders
- Wig required three thick ponytails to be added into the base, using color-matched extensions

Yugi (Battle City)
Yu-Gi-Oh |
I used pieces from the two other versions of Yugi to put together Battle City Yugi, with some new jewelry and a proper
chain for the Puzzle.
As of 2007, I replaced my old, worn out (crappier) wig with a brand new one, styled by the same methods but done much better. The main
photo shows this new wig.
Costume highlights:
- Screen accurate bracelets made of Foamies craft foam and studs, designed to hook solidly closed
- Chain is from the type used in playground swings
- The leather deck box on the belt was crafted by yours truly

Props and Plushies
Yu-Gi-Oh |
To complete my Yugi outfits, I needed to make a few props. Among them are the dueling gloves and Millennium Puzzle.
I also did Yugi's wig myself and in the process, learned about wigs and wig styling. The completed wig was made by splicing together three wigs, then coloring the black parts with Sharpies. It was styled first with hairspray and hair glue then set permanently with shellac and clear-drying caulk.
Costume highlights:
- Dueling glove is spandex, stiffened craft felt, and studs
- Millennium Puzzle is Sculpey
- Kuriboh plushie is an SLC exclusive! Craft fur and felt, very huggable
