Booker DeWitt Cosplay Notes

February 11, 2014

Booker DeWitt is the protagonist of the video game Bioshock:Infinite. I made this costume for Greg to wear at PAX Prime 2013. Shortly after Greg started playing Bioshock:Infinite, we decided this would be our “couples cosplay” for PAX.

January 20, 2014

This is the very, very, very delayed 4th and Final installment of my Assassins Creed/Ezio Auditore Costume Series. You can read all of the Ezio posts here. I’m not going to lie. I was a little jealous of the attention Greg received as Ezio at Emerald City Comic Con 2012. Two kids asked him to sign their shirts, … More Lady Assassin (Ezio Series) Cosplay Notes

A longer than expected baby nap resulted in a fully assembled garment. All that remains are the finishing details - serging the waist seam, hemming the sleeves and the bottom, and adding a bias tape facing to the neckline.
