>>79174Bless you anon for compiling everything and making this thread.
Her "tutorials" are always so bad. This was her showing how to sew a checkered pattern, but none of it lines up at all so it just looks sloppy.
Her newest one for attaching rhinestones cracks me up because hotfix tools are literally like $15, let alone that e6000 is super
toxic and she's using it indoors with no ventilation.
Her tutorials are just an excuse to put herself on a pedestal above everyone else, but she ends up looking like a dumbass because she clearly doesn't know what she's doing.

>>79176>>79218If she doesn’t want people using her “techniques” why is she literally selling her “techniques” for $2 on etsy? She really thinks people would buy that just because they’re huge fans and want to look at her, huh. No one in their right mind would buy that shit unless they were looking for a specific aspect. She can’t really be that dumb can she?

If another person makes a pink diamond cosplay with their colors all fucked up like hers are, then maybe she’s have a case.

i'm a tailor and looking at her stuff really hurts, all these rhinestones and the cheap lace are the typical amateur ways of "fixing" mistakes.

>>79215>>79218So I’ve gone pretty far down on the pinkdiamondcosplay hastag on insta, and I can’t find a single one that looks like hers (probably because hers looks doesn’t look like the actual design at all). The closest is this one, which is some cosplayer in the UK who didn’t even post a full body pic of the costume. But that’s literally ONE person, she’s acting like every single Pink Diamond cosplay after her was directly inspired by her?
>>79238GOD I’m a tailor as well (hiyeee) and this made me cringe so hard because the post is about changing the costume to fit her better? And I’m guessing that last pic is supposed to be the example of it fitting better but I can’t tell because is still clearly doesn’t fit at all? Like that shit is all the way open and is still way too small for her, how is it going to look actually laced and closed up? Not sure what kind of tailor you are, but I work in bridal and I would never let a bride walk out if her corseted dress looked like that, and I’m definitely not competing in “master” competitions. I wouldn’t dare do anyone dirty like that on their wedding day because that looks truly awful.

>>79242This is the only other one that looked slightly similar, but they’re very obviously not the same concept at all. So like is this bitch really claiming she owns the concept of “texture”? Anyone who uses any type of textured fabric in a cosplay should have asked permission from Sarah first?

>>79290Why would you even post something that zoomed in? So we can see your gross cat hair and pen marks and loose threads? It’s not doing her any favors.
For someone who loves showing off her shooping skills and bragging about being a professional editor, I cannot get over how blatantly terrible her shooping is.

Completely win hungry, and only chooses pieces that she thinks will win. Madoka didn't win, so she picked an idol like the one of the girls who won at Momo where she lost in Madoka.
She claimed at one point that she is allowed to be upset on losses because she is "baby". She legit takes winning at the only thing to validate her.

>>79320>She's currently "taking questions""writing questions to herself" you mean? Can't wait to hear what masterful advice that only someone as talented and self-made as her would know….probably stuff like "thread goes through the little hole on the needle". Do you think she'll post a picture of her at a convention years ago and a picture of herself now though to inspire people?
>>79296She's gotta, someone in the last thread said she tried to get her PULL thread taken off of google (not sure how to corroborate that though) so I have to assume she's constantly checking that shit and would have found this already?

There are plenty of cosplayers who will gladly share what processes and materials they use, not hiding a link to some goddamn rhinestones behind a Patreon paywall. Kinpatsu is doing this same thing, making tape patterns and small tutorials, and she's thinner and prettier than Sarah and actually looks like she knows what she's doing. Sarah looks like she discovered cosplay in her college anime club and because she was the only cosplayer she has authority to give shitty advice.
Don't mean to blog post but I'm a fatty-chan and my bust alone is 42, there's absolutely no way Sarah is as small as her photos let on with a 42 underbust, unless she's using terms incorrectly again and means her actual bust instead of her ribcage.

Sage for nitpick, but I'm constantly amazed how little effort she puts into sewing despite acting like she's amazing at it. She really couldn't be assed to even press open her seams? Even beginners know to at least do that much.
It's shit like this that bothers me whenever she makes tutorials, because she's spreading her bad habits. She's like the Tom Preston of cosplay.

No. 79788
>>79787No, she used boning afterward over the waist tape which is fine, but she didn't press the seams open before attaching it. Basically by stitching this the way she did, she left all the bulk from the seam allowance to one side of the seam which can look lumpy or bulky.
Pressing seams is BASIC knowledge on getting a garment to lay nice. She's either too lazy or too dumb to bother doing it.

She couldn't even be bothered to buy fabric for the actual dress, use the correct pattern for the dress or do any other piece of the costume accurately, so why on earth would it be believable that she went out of her way to spend $90 on a wig for "accuracy" like she's claiming?

>>79852>>79855Am I wrong in thinking this is kind of an outdated/sloppy technique these days anyways? I know it serves it’s purpose but taking all the time and effort to carefully pin something in the specific shape you want it to be in only to then slam dunk it into a cramped pot of actively moving water just seems like it’d end up sloppy as fuck, especially if you then shove the hot soaking wet wig in a towel and shove that towel in a bag? She said she’s impatient but she’s literally wasted an entire day doing this because all she’s done at this point is heat and reheat and reheat the same shit over and over again for hours without actually letting it cool or set in any way? Christ, I’m baffled honestly. I feel like I’m having a stroke watching her do anything because nothing she does makes ANY fucking sense.

>>79861This one?
>>79832 Not a nitpick imo, since she’s claiming her method of brushing out wigs is the end all be all of wig maintenance. Don’t you know you’re a gullible idiot if you’ve ever had to use any other method to detangle your wig? By all means, rip half the hair out of your wig by violently dry brushing and yanking at it instead of doing anything to possibly make that process easier or less damaging on the wig. Not a problem of course, because you can always re-sew all that hair you yanked out back in with her weft technique!

>>79962Depends on the judges. For example someone like Cathy from God Save the Queen is going to be able to listen to her, look at this work, and know she doesn't actually know what she's talking about. But Cathy is known for her sewing and construction.
If it's a "celebrity" cosplayer like some of these Instagram popular ones who don't (Leon Chiro is pretty open about having a team create his stuff for him for example) they wouldn't have the background to listen to someone and know they're using terms wrong. They could just be impressed by all the shiny on costumes like Sarah's.
Like if Sarah claimed she serged her seams, Cathy could flip the seams and KNOW she was full of shit, Leon wouldn't.
And for some reason we've been getting more of the latter as judges lately. And sometimes even if a judge does know, they'll be outvoted by the other judges.

The problem is when it’s no research, no good, and then you make a bad/wrong tutorial
>>80148>>80024That’s funny because I’d never even heard of Sakizou before some anon brought it up in the Cringe thread, and I think anons basically said people always think they should automatically win contests because they do these designs. Hard to tell if there’s a design in particular she’s doing because A. the corsets and hair are so busy with shit it’s hard to say if any of them look like what she has so far B. 100% of the time she gets the colors wrong so even if something does look similar who the fuck knows. Gonna look like a trainwreck either way.
You can also tell she only cares about clout because every time she posts her first “cosplay” she goes on and on about how no one even asked for her picture. Which is like….ok?? it sucks but calm down that happens to everyone at least once, especially when you were first starting out (or when you do a more obscure character you know…because you like it? not for as much attention as possible?). People asking for your pic is not a metric of if your cosplay is actually good or not.

This is probably one of her worst "tutorials" she's made. Like, yes Sarah, you DO have to brush a wig to detangle it. What you DON'T have to do is say that other methods are wrong while yanking out half the fibers in your wig with a brush made for human hair.

Also if you make a "mockup" out of the fabric you bought to make the piece….it's not a mockup? You're just making the piece? The point of a mockup is to work out all the kinks before you actually cut into your nice expensive fabric. Can't wait until she posts her expert tutorial on how to half-loop topstitch on low-viscosity rayon.
Also I might have dreamed this but I swear I she posted something with her Rosalina cosplay where the lining was navy, so I think her off-color Sophie cosplay has something to do with being a "wearable mockup" of her Rosalina dress.

I can understand doing a different style for the bodice and sleeves, Sophie’s dress is drawn without any visible seam lines so you have to take some liberties there to make it actually fit a human body, and the style of bodice seems appropriate for the era. But the length is totally wrong (sophie’s dress hits above her ankles, not floor-length) and the fabric is a nightmare aside from the color. A cotton or linen would not only be more accurate but also easier to sew and not show her mistakes as much.

(Or because she made entire cosplay in a day for a photoshoot out of scraps and couldn’t be bothered to buy the correct fabric or pattern). Explains why the shoulders look so terrible I guess?
Honestly since she already has brown hair and bangs I don’t understand why she wouldn’t just do the green dress version?

Weird that she still doesn’t actually say she was given it in any of her posts though.
Also one of her excuses for using a lace front was so you wouldn’t see the wigcap (which ??? in the first place) and you can still totally see the wigcap. You don’t even see any hairline, so the lace front was completely unnecessary, what a waste.

Her newest post is Godoka. The wig is, of course, inaccurate but that’s expected at this point. I’ve noticed that a majority of the wigs that she has used recently are ones that she has received for free. She tries to make them “work” for cosplays but they never do.

>>80714>>80785>>80851A lot of her milk is essentially the same as Sarah's. They're both extremely subpar photoshoppers and mediocre cosplayers who think they're better than a lot of people, hence the terrible tutorials.
AD just jumps on different more obnoxious viral trains. Like I think last year when there was that blow up about that popular cosplayer taking pictures in the graveyard she popped up with a 'tutorial' on "how to be respectful taking pics in a graveyard" almost instantly and was called out on it being an attention grab because wtf. Following her IG stories and tutorials you'll see of that type of thing. She likes to talk like she's an authority in a lot of cosplay things and she's just not.
And like most of her tutorials aren't even good. She didn't even edit out the gross ass dirty silicone caulk line right behind her body or really bother to make the photo look like…anything. just a bunch of dead white space and her in the tub with flowers. Her "posing tutorial" just shows she only knows three poses no matter the character. She even has a "how to host trivia" tutorials. What.
And now she's moved on to telling photographers how to do their job despite her admitted lack of experience and that overall all her photos are just…boring. Same face, similar posing, mediocre editing.
She's like a crossplay version of Sarah which makes sense cuz their friends and AD has defended Sarah during her condescending PSA's… ironically about photoshop usage.

Sarah being a "sensitive uwu baby uwu" again.
I highly doubt she ever got picked on/ bullied/ whatever because she puts blush on her nose. Pretty sure it was at most like five comments that politely said "I really love your cosplay, but the nose blush is a bit extreme uwu." (Like when people were politely explaining to her that she should have put a spoiler warning on her most recent SU "cosplay").
But out of 92k followers, you're going to get upset over a handful of comments that politely suggest you do something different with your makeup? What. The. Fuck.
As with any cow, pretty sure she wanted attention and her comments to be flooded with "bUt yoURe sO pReTTy uwu"

Big reveal yall. Now look, I'm not all that familiar Sakizo or the cosplayers but isn't having tights full of giant bulky thick embroidery patches going to be super heavy and cluttered and also look terrible?

She's egotistical and delusional to the point that she thinks she's a smarter/better designer than Sakizou, as well as if she does her 'own take' she cant judge herself by how shitty her costume looks compared to other people who make the same look because she's doing her 'own take so of course they look different!!'

If it’s showing and messy, that’s definitely points off, but just using hot glue in general isn’t the biggest crime in cosplay

>>88471there's a trend:
novices use hot glue for everything
journeymen use hot glue for nothing
masters use hot glue only for what it's meant for
she has no idea what she's doing, though, so that's irrelevant. part of the appeal of sakizos is the historically influenced techniques needed and she's just gluing her way through.

>>88488 said, it's not about using hot glue, it's about how clean and solid the final piece is as a result of using it.

Unless it has armor like Serphim, I can't see hot glue being appropriate on almost any Sakizou costumes… they are decadent and opulent and require a lot of hand work and tedious techniques.
It's not even like she was in a rush, we're all stuck at home and most cons are canceling or postponing anyway. She legitimately just only wants to do tedious work if it shows and she can brag about it (like beading).

>>90206>>90209I think there's a place for doing stuff yourself that you didn't have to do yourself, I have friends who are weaving their own fabric or making their own lace because they have fun learning and applying these techniques, and once you've done that you're not going to NOT point it out to the jury. I'm embroidering a ton of tulle by hand because I couldn't find a premade one that I really liked, I didn't have to do it, I could have gotten something close enough, but I decided to do it anyway and obviously when it's done I'm going to tell the judges about it. I don't expect to win just based on that but I'm still going to point out stuff that I'm proud of. If Sarah wasn't skipping on aspects that are more important, like silhouette and choosing appropriate materials and techniques, it would be admirable that she spends a lot of time on detail, at least in my personal opinion. But she's lazily half-assing the basics and not taking the time to learn how to properly apply techniques, so it's just wasted time hand-beading a turd.
>>90447Even in this shitty picture you can see how much it bunches up at the knee and foot, and she didn't account for the stretching around her thigh so her diamonds are distorted, pretty sad. The flowers don't look as bad in comparison, though they're still not a good color.

>>90463>>90453I think yall are blinded by the fact that the rest of the costume looks so bad so your expectations are lowered.
You can tell she didnt actually make it the right size because of the obvious bunching around the foot and knee. She also got the proportions of the lace detail wrong at it's supposed to be an over the knee look not a thigh high. You can also tell she didnt measure the thigh area correctly because of how much the pieces that are supposed to be squares are pulling horizontally.
If this was some like journeyman or beginner cosplayer using their quarantine to make something fancy I might say it's impressive but the WILD variation in flower size, how lump it looks in motion and just the thought of her attempting to put the lace at the top of that is going to be a train wreck. Sorry if I'm wrong but if she was going to put the lace on those shouldnt she have done it before sewing the tights together?
There isnt a single con happening for months and months so she doesnt need to rush it so the fact that she's making rookie mistakes just grosses me out.

The corset beads are large but they aren't those cheap lumpy gold things. You would think for someone who's entire skill set is 'hurrdurr put more bead on it', she would know how to sew a fucking bead.
She's made something that's meant to look delicate and flowy look so fucking heavy that she's probably going to shake the ground Jurassic Park-style with each step, blinding every poor soul who looks her way from the immense eye-strain of seeing this costume in person.

>>91780calm down with that reach and get your panties out of a twist.
Admittedly, I worded myself poorly. When I typed 'enough of a fan' I meant more along the lines of 'why spend hours on a design while butchering basic design elements and obviously not putting the effort in to make sure you're getting very obvious and simple things to prove, correct'?
'People cosplay for designs' is kinda the only point to make a sakizo since other than her occasional fan designs of things like Alice, Fate or Final Fantasy there's no character behind them. Because of that it's extra stupid that she's blatantly getting things wrong. There's no 'love of the character's backstory/personality' to fall back on so why isnt she getting simple and obvious design details correct?
Sarah is basically only known because she likes to make things that look overly complicated (Pink Diamond, Madoka, the idolmaster one) it's easy to wonder why she hadnt made a sakizo before now.

>>91697Silhouette always has great advice, her work is stunning. (If you're reading this, blink twice)
>>91780The point isn't that she's "not a real fan" but that she hasn't bothered to research the design before tackling it, otherwise she would have come across the tights and used them as a reference instead of making it up as she goes. Or she could have noticed other aspects of Sakizo's style that would have informed the way she interpreted the design, for example that she draws very delicate and airy designs and that huge plastic beads and big heavy double layers of dupioni aren't a good fit.

Although, thinking about it, wasn't pink diamond her first competition piece? I put some blame on the judges who bumped her up to masters on that when it very much wasn't masters level. It obviously gave her a big head and there's a reason for different levels in competitions. They kind of screwed her over by giving her that award since now she's stuck in a level far above her actual skill level.

The volume of that layer should come from how the fabric gathers, a lighter (aka appropriate fabric) would sit properly without being forced. The shape should not come from the hoop forcing the material out like that. A judge doesnt even have to touch it to know what's happening here.
This skirt shape is not impossible, nor that difficult to make for a decent seamstress - even a cosplay seamstress using the plastic plumbing pipe trick, it's not rocket science. The entire reason its failing is her fabric choice and goddamn, that is quite possibly the biggest tragedy about this whole pile. You learn fabric choice when you're like, intermediate at the latest.

>>104988I think she just has no eye for design or construction. The scallops on the skirt are small… around 1 inch would be the proper proportion. But she did 3-4 inches, I'm guessing because she didn't feel like taking the time to do smaller ones. The corset is completely the wrong style and she couldn't even get the fabrics to match.
She's either too delusional to see that everything is off on this thing or she's too proud to admit she bit off more than she could chew as far as craftsmanship and it looks awful. This happens to a lot of costumers, but the smart ones have the piece of mind to set it down and come back to it once they have the skills for it.

>>105239NTAYRT, but come now, Anon.
This took twelve seconds of Googling to find an eyelet lace border that was sort of similar to the reference image, in terms of detail and size. Have a look at the comparisons between the reference image I've provided, a sample of eyelet lace, and Sarah's absurd scallops.
Even with all her gloating and showboating about 'accuracy', you can see that she's drastically simplified the design on the scallops. And in before anyone says she's not finished beading the skirt, why would she have put it all together and on the skirt frame otherwise?
You can also see from the reference that each skirt tier has different designs on them, but Sarah was too busy being lorded over in her hugbox to notice otherwise. Only the bottom layer has those pointed arches, but she's made every skirt layer the same.
I'm constantly amazed at how little referencing she does to the image when she makes her stuff. It's like there's no planning of forethought going into it. I only watch her social media to see her breakdowns and what gross stuff she puts out, or hoping that one day she'll take her fake teeth out again. I can't wait until she tries to walk around in those overly-beaded stockings and has them all come off as they rub between her thighs.
TL;DR Sarah is a hack seamstress who doesn't know her shit.

>>105405I get what you're saying, friend. The point I was trying to make (not very well, unfortunately, so that's on me) is that there's already existing lace fabric out there (organza would have been great) that she could have spent a few days researching and buying, and it would have looked a hundred times better than whatever BS she's trying to pull.
Not even the excuse of 'I wanted to make the design 100% accurate' could excuse her from making her scallops, because she missed out a huge deal of detail in her own version.
I really hope she loses again so I can see her public meltdown.

If you thought the front was bad, take a look at back.
I know in the reference photo, no one will see the back of the socks so it's not as big of a deal as the neon pink ribbon roses. But jfc, Sarah. Why didn't you make a mock up of the diamond pattern first to see if any diamonds were gonna be cutoff in the back? Why can't you accurately measure shit? Why are you so lazy and incompetent when it comes to the craftsmanship part of cosplay? Adding cheap rhinestones to a cosplay thats already disaster doesn't take away from the disaster. If you put glitter on top of literal feces, it's still just shit, and thats what all of your cosplays are.

Why wouldn't you just cut out 50, or even 100 of the same dimension of each square for the diamond pattern, and just sew them all together to make a yardage of diamon-patternedfabric, THEN cut the necessary amount with Seam allowance (as you would for any other pattern piece) and sew together.
Instead she just cuts a few of each colour, hobbles them together until they vaguely approximate the size she needs, and calls it a day. Even though she had to fuse the diamond pattern to make it work. "Master level" yeah right.

NO THEY'RE NOT SARAH. If you use pre-made lace and just sew it on with other hodge-podge bullshit, it's not actually handmade. You didn't make the gross gold lace yourself. You bought it from the store. You just did the gaudy "gems" and horrible beadwork.
But hey, guess what?
That still doesn't mean that it's a handmade appliqué. ALL of it needs to be handmade in order for it be qualified as being handmade.

No. 112569
>>112559Sage for blogposting but from my experience with cosplay it could be that it's really satisfying and easy to work on smaller, flashier stuff like accessories, but the ground work with sewing and getting colors right is boring. It's much more satisfying to spend a few hours doing beads and embroidering and end up with a detailed headpiece than to take a ton of time measuring and doing mock ups to end up with a sleeve, even if it would benefit the costume more in her case.
For innacuracy the urge to put your own touch on stuff gets strong (because it would look so prettyyy and detailed) and i think she might be reusing materials that don't quite fit to avoid buying more shit.
That being said she should be past that phase already considering she has some experience, she should have listened to criticism and identified these flaws.
No. 112688
>>112569I can understand making some changes to the source material to make things translate better into reality or to try to make your take stand out, but imo Sarah really is doing a lot of this shit from her inaccurate memory. She also seems to hate pansies since she replaced all the pansies in the ref with those gaudy pink roses and hates purple droplets too for whatever reason.
I think the best way to to this would have been to make a brooch and just add a hairclip/barrette back to it rather than making a huge headpiece but hey, Sarah's gonna Sarah. I can't wait for her to mess up the wig and weigh her head down with whatever massive monstrosity she makes instead of the light lace headpiece in the ref.

>>112717That's what makes it so funny to me: it looks so cheap and horrible but she still bragged about how expensive the fabric was. She spent so much on the silk but still plastered it with tacky plastic beads and sale rack gold lace.
She isn't just polishing a turd, she's shoving ridiculously overpriced food in her mouth (the kind that's covered in truffles and gold leaf to bump up the cost and
seem more expensive and fancy than it is to dazzle poorfags with the pricetag), shitting it out and polishing

>>112569Honestly back when I was a baby cosplayer and did similar mistakes as she did it wasn't about wanting to put my own spin on it, it was just that I didn't have the eye for translating things into real life. When a beginner cosplayer looks at the reference photo they just see "vaguely flower shaped pink thing and gold thing on my head" and then make something remotely similar to that interpretation and end up with this

No. 129581
>>129562>>129576NTA but zip ties are commonly used in historical costuming as a synthetic whalebone—they form better to the body and warp less than the terrible featherlite boning you get in rolls. These zip ties look thicker so they will be more stable as well. One of the key functions of boning is to stop horizontal rippling of the fabric when pulled taut, which is also less crucial here since there’s a fabric overlay. Since it’s a longline bodice iirc, that also factors in additional vertical support on the entire torso.
Steel boning has a place, but it’s not the only option or always the correct one, especially for just a bodice.

I just don't understand how she ended up with these results because, let me repeat myself, nothing about this works.
It's not like she's a total beginner, at her experience/skill level you should be able to perform better than this. What the fuck. All that time she put into pointless hand-embroidery and beading should've gone into structuring that dress. Why didn't she just pick a lighter fabric? Shit droops like crazy.

>>171299They're always encouraged to do so by the community around them. You don't get Instagram likes by doing a good job on patterning and fitting the costume, you go viral with tedious busywork even if it looks like shit. If it's sparkly and shiny the masses will love it. Sakizou is the go-to choice for all attention whore seamstresses because the designs are ridiculously busy with embroidery, sequins, frills, jewelry and other crap plastered all over them. People believe they don't have to put any effort into it if they just cover the whole thing with subpar effort, making them look like a kindergarten crafts project.
Sarah's recent attempt is especially offensive because she had a year to work on it yet this is what she ended up with. She had her chance to roll up her sleeves and put her all into it. Normally I wouldn't give much of a shit but this is the person who threw a public fit about not placing in a contest with her hot mess of a cosplay and is regarded as an influential costume maker.
God I just can't get over how those sleeves are obviously a stitched diamond pleat pattern, why the fuck did she go with the smocking? She's done it before so it's not like she's incapable of doing it, it can't be simply a flex.

I don't understand why she thinks posing with her feet in such an ugly, pigeon-toed fashion could look 'cute' in any way. This is your typical SarahSpaceman build - colours are off, proportions are fucked, terrible choice of fabrics, the list goes on.
No doubt she's going to accidentally stumble on a way to sew something and claim she 'invented' that method like she did with her fabric stars, too.
Honestly, she must have some sort of colour blindness, or just mental handicap when it comes to colours. Why would you look at some CLEARLY PURPLE fish fins and say 'yep they're absolutely light blue'.

The longer I look at her work, the more I'm absolutely convinced she has a form of colorblindness. The reference image clearly shows Kokomi's front bow as a gradient purple/violet, with the colour on BOTH sides. She's made her bow a sky blue with WHITE on the back. And don't even get me started on the proportions being out of whack, but then again that's her brand, isn't it?
They may seem like 'nitpick' things, but when Sarah brands herself as a know-it-all seamstress, and shills her skills out for money as 'the right way' when she can't even get the most basic things right… well, fuck. How does she have so many followers?

Which tells me that she doesn't care about the quality or feel of the fabrics, she just gets the least expensive fabric in 'close enough' colours (for example her Sophie dress, which she made a dark navy instead of light blue) and Rosalina (blue instead of teal).
She's shown her workspace and clothes are filthy, she has absolutely no sense of proportion, has public meltdowns when she doesn't win with her sub-par costumes and is mediocre at sewing, at best. Truly the epitome of a cow.

Also applies to general attention seekers, (histrionics and narcissists notwithstanding) the desire to get attention isn't limited to only average looking people.
But that's one thing that draws average looking people to cosplay is it's like a step-by-step in getting attention that they wouldn't normally get, plus the transformation from normie to anime character must be personally satisfying to them.
Attractive people tend to be a bit more apprehensive about getting attention since they know it's associated with free emotional labor to strangers and sexual harassment as well as lack of privacy, but for those for whom it is a novelty (see also troons, her brother being relevant) getting attention can seem a desirable outcome and well worth the effort.

Taken from her Instagram story at Holmat. Everything is baggy and ugly and she looks a dang mess. That ‘gradient dye’ on her stocking is appalling, basically just a straight line. Her crotch is crumpled inwards giving her eight cameltoes because she doesn’t know how the fuck to pattern anything.

>>188916I'm not familiar with this character so here's what it's supposed to look like for reference, another genshin character Mona the Divination Witch.
This is one of her better cosplays I think, she isn't shrouded in fifteen layers of the wrong colour fabric and the small details seem to be done in an aesthetically pleasing way, particularly like the gold stars, shoes and tights details.
The hat is probably the worst part, it looks unintentionally mis-shapen but at least it matches the bodysuit. For her this is very good and seems suitable for a con as well without being too desperately attention-seeking like this one in comparison

She edited out her hip pads in her instagram post, but they're clear as day when you look at her stories.
On a completely different cosplayer I wouldn't normally care about these sort of things, but this is Sarah we're talking about. Everything, even nitpicks, become bigger flaws because of her horrible attitude and elitism. If you put the reference of Mona and her costume side by side, you can tell just how sloppy everything is. Even something as simple as making the arm socks go up to just under her sleeves is too difficult for her. Here
>>188915 they don't even come up to her elbows. And all her 'impressive dye work' looks like trash considering it's an entirely different colour.
I'm hoping she enters this garbage into the competition and loses. She probably won't have an epic meltdown like her Godoka because, like another anon said, she even said so herself that this was one of her worst costumes. But imagine having the gall to enter something even you think looks bad into a competition where people have tried their hardest.

So I did a little more looking, and holy shit, guys, I figured out what the hell is going on with her shoes.
I wondered why the hell she went from wearing her Kokomi shoes to two random ugly pairs of shoes during the con (a pair of black maryjanes and some grandma brown clog-sandals). Turns out that her Kokomi shoes were just those ugly brown sandals with a blue bow stuck to them, which seems to have fallen off during the con, and that's probably why she switched to her black shoes - to hide the fact the toes of her socks were coming apart and that her shoes were falling to bits.
She can't even say that she changed shoes after her little twirl in the pool, because why would you put your wet feet in enclosed shoes rather than sandals? I attached a reference of Kokomi's sandals - bitch didn't even try to find semi-accurate flipflop-type sahdals, or even paint the sole a blue-ish colour.

She also once again has no sense of scale. The bows on the skirt are too small and the strawberries are too big. Instead of making them as small plushies she should have just bought plastic ones or even used foam clay or something if she insists on making them.
Not to blog but having made Sakizou costumes before, they’re easy to mess up scale wise if you’re not careful because there are so many details. It’s best to scale the illustration to the height of the wearer and then measure to get proper scale for each detail.

>>293514It's definitely the same fabric from the first Sakizou dress. It's easier to tell from the indoor shots in the video.
She also mentioned in a Discord AMA she chose this fabric because it could withstand the weight of the appliqués. I'm not a seamstress, but that didn't make sense to me if the appliqués should be light enough to be supported by any fabric yeah?
(sage your shit) No. 293571
>>293563I think she’s talking out her ass. A heavier fabric would be needed if the appliqués were large, chunky pieces of beaded lace and very heavy items, but the fact that she has just lace? You could have used much lighter fabric and still achieved the same result.
The fault lies in the fact that Sarah has to over-think and over-embellish everything. As
>>293359 mentioned in their comment, the fact that the strawberries were crocheted and stuffed added a lot of unnecessary weight, when they could have been made much lighter using plastic strawberries, or foam clay. Heck, even if she’d made them out of fabric or felt, that would have kept a lot of weight down instead of bulking them up with yarn. But to add big thick felt leaves instead of simple fake leaves (which in my opinion would have looked better) and the proportions being all wrong (giant strawberries and teeny tiny bows), well, it just shows that Sarah is all style, no substance.
Sakizou designs are so hard to get right because they are so detail-heavy that proportions being accurate are a must. We’ve all seen how she made her previous build, she went the Pink Diamond route, where she focused on ‘gilding the lily’ before getting the base structure correct. We saw so many progress photos of her beaded appliqués before she’d even finished the corset, so of course they were out of proportion, because she’d just made them to whatever size and worked the costume around them.
Now, subjectively speaking, Sarah isn’t a bad sewer. Her makes are fine. But what gets to me (and I think most of us) is the arrogance that she portrays, how she tries to come across as an authoritative figure in sewing when a lot of her builds still show simple beginner mistakes, like the fact her corsets don’t line up, the wrong choice of fabrics, proportion mistakes - the list goes on. As someone who sews for a living, I can tell that she skipped a lot of basic construction steps and just jumped straight into more advanced techniques. Which is what a lot of cosplayers do, and don’t get me wrong, it’s fine, but I suppose it does irk people when she has an attitude that doesn’t match her skills. With the way she peacocks around, I would expect something flawless, not a build with so many clear mistakes.
TL;DR Sarah is fine at sewing, but her skills do not match her ego and she needs to learn proportions.

>>294827>>294837In Sarah's mild defense, she's a decent influencer. She's good at working YouTube, editing videos, making coherent instructions, her reels are easy to follow, and her photos are always nice. What she's not good at is cosplay. Yes she can sew fine but her design choices are awful. None of her cosplays are either flattering, accurate, or thought-out. We've discussed thoroughly how her fabric choices are awful, her proportions are off, and she's at least some form of color blind if half her recent stuff is anything to go by. Slander only applies if what we say are lies, which they're not. 827, sorry you've just realized your cosplay idol isn't even halfway decent at cosplay at all.

as a broke cosplayer myself it bothers me a little how she's always advocating for expensive tools, and doesn't really mention cheaper alternatives. if she does mention them, she "doesn't recommend doing it/using it". i dunno about you guys but i don't want to spend $200+ on fabric alone. i feel like cosplayers who compete these days just tell the judges how much they spent on fabric to win.

No. 304568
>>304561The difference is in the materials (worbla, acrylic paints, etc) and techniques (using hotglue, magnets, etc) used to make the garment. Cosplay-grade anything doesn't
need to be washable and it can be a lot more delicate than something for everyday wear.
But if you do something for theater, and not everyday wear or cosplay, the requirements are again different. It usually needs to be more durable (stunts and fast costume changes where someone rips the garment off you), washable and potentially adjustable if different actors use the same garment across years.
They would all be corsets but the structuring and materials could be different. This is also why some teachers look down upon cosplay as cosplayers don't know how to construct garments for everyday wear. Similar to why some art schools look down upon manga/anime styles.
If you're a good seamstress you just need to know which techniques to use and where. If you only know how to do cosplay you probably wouldn't know how to make something that lasts daily wear for years.

>>304571It actually is a big deal if you're teaching it to newbs like you who don't know better. Just because TJ Maxx calls their cheap spanx a corset doesn't mean a sewing educator or even a "master" cosplayer should.

No. 304575
>>304568Anon you sound like a dumbass. Corsets are corsets based on how they're built on the inside, regardless of it you cover it in worbla or it's plain coutil for theater.
Sarah is acting like because it's a cosplay corset it doesn't have to be made correctly. A duct tape copy made over clothes is not going to give an accurate corset pattern. Corsets are hard to fit and require a lot of technical know-how. Sarah doesn't have that and is going to act like "I said it's only for COSPLAY corsets" is a good excuse for why it's done incorrectly when most master cosplayers who make corsets do the exact same steps a theater or historical seamstress does, they just cover them in rhinestones after.

The end result is going to be malformed and lumpy because the pattern is just a duct tape copy of her lumpy uncorseted body. The only reason she's got a snatched waist in the vid is because she's yanking the middle tight. (even she says not to do that.). It's a lazy shortcut with wrong results like everything she does.

It's okay to be disappointed if you didn't place when you wanted to, but I feel like she doesn't understand how audience sees performance and costume up on stage vs others. It's easier to understand and enjoy a performance that gives you insight about the source material vs generic dance performance that you can do almost on any given character.
The whole pity party for birthday and not winning really rubs me the wrong way.
Also her comment on usa and spain being observer nations and it not being fair LOL. Being observer nation for the first time is to see how it works out for both ends, what problems arise etc without it being extremely stressful for the contestant(those sleeping halls used to be the norm for the contestants too fyi). Since then for the next year organizers will know what to look out for i.e. her flight delays being way more than for those coming from inside Europe, schedules, food and so on.

No. 305639
>>305388This was the worst vlog I've seen in a long time. Not only does she start it off by saying "It's lame I can't win" (KNOWING that she was an Observer nation and was not eligible for a placement),
-she continues it by leaving in minutes of her and her fellow Americans mocking a foreign snack that someone from that country wanted to share with fellow cosplayers,
-spends no time with her fellow contestants despite having the amazing opportunity to be part of a huge international con and contest, and doesn't even acknowledge the winners besides labeling the award ceremony,
-and finishes by sobbing on her hotel room floor, crying about how she's so upset that she didn't win the one dinky award she thought she deserved.
Yes, it's fine to be upset that you didn't win, but you don't talk about it for several minutes in a vlog that people are probably watching to see what the contest was like. She didn't even linger on her birthday surprise, which those other cosplayers did NOT have to do. It just cut to her selfishly opening her gift, no "omg thank you so much" or vlog selfies with the Glinda or anyone else. This entire video was a pity party for her fractured ego.
There was zero chance of her winning this competition even without her being an Observer. The NCC is notoriously good, and as someone who has done extensive research into what international contests are looking for, she had a disadvantage from the beginning. She didn't need to win at Holmat, either, in my opinion. The NCC values lookalikes, stage combat/interaction, drama, detail, and advanced crafting techniques. She went up there with a subpar costume and a boring skit, no matter how well made her backdrop video was. There is zero surprise that even Audience Choice didn't favor her because she may have been energetic, but even though she went on this spiel about how "deep" the song was, chances are the audience doesn't even understand much English, let alone Japanese, so they don't care. They just hear Miku.

I recently found out that Ireland no longer has any cosplay competitions now that Dublin Comic Con scrapped their pro cosplay contest (at least from the summer con but it's likely to continue as there may be budget cuts/having more than one con with a large cosplay contest would be nice and this sentiment has been shared with several cosplayers I know)

Like her last wig video- you literally didn't consider getting gloves or finding some way to secure the wig fibers so we didn't have to suffer through you fumbling with glue on your hands fucking up a bunch of plastic hair before clicking off?

>>308764This video annoyed me not only because of the lack of gloves, but the fact she would hastily slap more wefts on top of the glued wefts instead of a 50/50 to properly see how the glue dries, using (iirc) felt instead of a mesh or plastic material that would be used on a wig, not tugging at most of them to show how strong they are after drying, and not sorting out the bees/wasps, like jfc wait until your bins are emptied or move the bins until you’re done.
Did she not know that contact adhesive doesn’t immediately bond together? Like you have a bit of wiggle room for corrections but after sticking the two tacky sides together, you leave it then it becomes strong?
If she knows a lot of wig makers used tacky or maybe other glues, why not reach out and ask them for their thoughts like she did with the crochet cosplayer?

Intentionally leaving that fact out to make her seem like some credible, innovative and friendly cosplay buddy while framing wigmakers as snobby gatekeeping elitist is shitty.

I just started watching the video and I cannot for the life of me figure out how she can over-engineer the wig base like that. The largest wigs I've seen all use a pretty standard worbla harness and slot-in pvc pipes or plastic bottles. Wood? Why of all the available materials would you go with what she has made up? If the rest of the wig was sensibly made a worbla headpiece should suffice
No. 315583
>>315582The standard would be to use styrofoam or insulation foam to add more volume for bigger wig parts due to its lightness and add spandex or other featherweight fabric to protect its surface and a worbla harness would be enough to support it but she really went and created a fucking wood cage to handle the weight of two felt mattresses hanging off the sides of her head. 20lbs of shit supported by a sintra piece drowned in metal screws and pieces of wood attached to your head is madness, this sounds so dangerous and I genuinely hope nobody follows her example because this can easily end up in a disaster. The sintra can give out because it can't hold the friction of those screws and those screws in turn can dig into your skull while you're stuck wearing this shit midconvention. Not to mention how this can seriously damage your neck, she's not a professional prop maker creating something safety proofed.
If she bothered to google "big wig tutorial" once she'd get all the information she needed to create a proper structure that isn't an overengineered ticking time bomb waiting to go off. I was just holding my head for the entirety of this video, how the hell isn't anyone telling her what a terrible idea this is is simply beyond me.

The whole "you can DANCE in this wig" is such an odd flex when you can see the understructure of the ponytails while she jumps around and it just doesn't look good. And any decently made wig should withstand some dancing on stage as long as you're not doing backflips. And the whole problem she's having with trying to balance the wig on her head? If she just made a worbla base or equivalent and cut some holes in the base wig it should just automatically stay on. Why she didn't wear the base wig when she did her wear tests as that also provides stability.
She's wasting time and materials and getting a shittier result just because she's too stubborn to try techniques and tools that are commonplace.
This and her strawberry miku wigs look super sad in comparison when you see other creators who have made the same wigs. She's not even the only one who does these over-the-top renditions but hers are definately the messiest
No. 315630
>>315599She's also having trouble handling the weight of the wig which is why she's sitting down in the beginning of that video and while wearing it she's constantly swaying and trying to keep her balance. The whole wood and metal build could've been ditched entirely and replaced with a lightweight PVC/worbla mount if she made the base for the ponytails from literally anything else than thick heavy felt with a metal skeleton. The movement it has is not natural and hair-like at all because she has to throw them around like two punching bags so I wouldn't call that "dancing".
I just want to grab her by the shoulders and make her redo it with common techniques literally everyone else uses that most definitely are not "under lock and key", like
>>315598 said she's one of those people that really want to reinvent the wheel for clout and branding. She did it with smocking but after that was played out she's now apparently a wig connoisseur making these unnecessarily complex builds accusing other wigmakers of "not revealing their secrets" because she doesn't understand that their "secret" is just foam, wig fiber, glue, hairspray and above all patience.

No. 316517
>>316492I can't believe her wig broke, who could have ever seen that coming, it's almost like her entire design was flimsy due to over engineering and faulty to begin with.
I can't believe that she took that footage, edited it together, and saw no issues with the way she acted. What a fucking brat. All the idols I know do the idol thing because they have autistic-levels of love for idol stuff, Sarah does it for the ass pats and the love for herself. And every con she goes to is the same, get there, have a baby-bitch fit, me me me, repeat next con.
No. 316520
>>316495I disagree, if she’s not an idol she DEFINITELY shouldn’t be in idolfest. Holmat’s idolfest is one of the highest regarded US idol events (or at least, it was…) and you have to audition for it. She got in because she begged the organizers to let her do it instead of the masquerade halftime performance that she was offered for winning best in show last year. You can tell from the quality of all of the other performers that if she auditioned like everyone else she wouldn’t have gotten in because she’s NOT an idol and the performance she gave reflects that. Her message at the end of the video that “you can achieve your dreams if you work hard enough” feels like such a slap in the face because she never worked to be an idol, she just had clout.
She claims to love the idol community but doesn’t even know what a cheki is?? Come on. It’s obvious she doesn’t care about any of the other acts except for her cosplay friends, and only interacted with them for those “interviews” so that she had more content for the video.
If she actually DID care about becoming an idol, she would be engaging with the community and focusing on building her performance skills. But just like everything else she does, she just wants a fast track to the top without any of the work so that everyone who doesn’t know any better can give her asspats

>>316520>You can tell from the quality of all of the other performersKek I don't like her any more than everyone else here, but the other performers also looked crap. It was one big unsynchronised weeaboo spectacle. I'm not into idols but even I can see the difference between the overly perfectionised and synchronised idols of Japan and any of these.
Don't get me wrong. If they enjoy there is no harm done. And I'm sure many of those other performers are much nicer people that Sarah here. But let's not act like those performers are that much better.

>>316492This cosplay is so overdone down to the tumblr makeup it's atrocious. I used to watch Miku cosplayers perform on stage and they would often even cut the length off their twintails so they could bring a better flow to their performance and make the character come to life with the same energy as in concerts, it looked great. She instead is dressed like a christmas tree with a torture device attached to her head poking her skull, waddles barely able to move looking and feeling miserable and the entire costume and wig is too clunky, like a giant ball flopping on stage.
If she wants to keep doing these massive baroque builds she needs to let go of Miku, that is not the character for this. Ofc her other shitty gowns aren't going to get the 10 year olds clicking on her videos though

>>316492>her wig broke several times, she was in pain wearing itWho would've guessed. It was held together with goodwill alone and weighed a ton, mad scientist material. If she gave up her ego and did research looking at how other people did things instead of stubbornly reinventing the wheel she wouldn't have to put 20 pounds of metal, wood and felt on her head while jumping around the stage. God, my temples hurt just thinking about it.
What gets me is that she brags about her genius work in the previous video how she can actually dance in that monstrosity when in reality she ends up being in constant pain the entire time and her creation falls apart. If it was for an idol performance she should've prioritized lightness and movement and instead she's just one step above stapling fabric to her scalp. I just can't get over the wood and metal mount on her head, that sounds like a death trap. And she went ahead and made a whole ass proud video about its construction.
>>316520>But just like everything else she does, she just wants a fast track to the top without any of the work so that everyone who doesn’t know any better can give her asspatsIt's really a repetitive pattern with whatever she does. Starting from that Steven Universe cosplay she actually fucking just photoshopped on top of a selfie just to be tHe FiRsT, to half-assing a Sakizou cosplay just for clout. How she actually wins contests is incomprehensible to me.
No. 316574
This has to have been her worst performance. It sucks to see, because it is in fact worse than before. Did anyone see her idolmaster skit years ago? I may have been misremembering, but that one was decent in comparison. The #1 thing in idol performance, in my opinion, is stage presence. That includes being able to see your face! We couldn't see her face under that giant wig. You can see her flop around like a fish on stage because she's unstable and uncomfortable in the costume. She's tripping all over, none of her movements have confidence, etc. I get that it's hard to balance a big build with idol stuff, but considering that it was for the idol show, she should've known better what to prioritize. You simply cannot enjoy a performance that is supposed to make you smile and aw when you spend the entire time worrying that the performer is going to fall off stage. At that point, it's pity claps, and ultimately leaves you with a very uncomfortable feeling.

She claims to have done a bunch of research on the best way to get pastel blue at the beginning of the vid, but if so she definitely would have seen that it needs to be bleached to pale yellow first.

>>317035The rhinestones can and have been a good touch on other wigs/styles but Sarah is nothing if not consistent in doing a thing in the entirely wrong way. The rhinestone part is generally used when rhinestones are part of the rest of the style, are a proper gradient, and artfully placed. Sarah just slapped a solid row on to cover where she laid wefts down with the stitching out in the open in an effort to cover up her shoddy work. I'm constantly shocked that she's still getting guesting and educational opportunities, honestly, like how are people not seeing her stuff up close and realizing she really doesn't know what she's doing?

It's only when she expanded outside of the EU that people like Sarah and her community think she's negligent when that's not the case.

I bet she didn't bring her other Miku to display it because she knew it would look like shit compared to the other cosplays there.
And god she's such an insufferable cunt. Did she really need to bitch that the Starbucks employees don't know her name? They don't care, Sarah. You can tell she's trying to make it funny story but the way she tells it shows she was extremely irritated about such a minor thing.
It also sticks out to me how she really doesn't seem to enjoy cosplay. She gets out of her Miku as soon as possible and didn't bring anything more comfortable or lower maintenance for the other con days even though she could have. What happened to her Kokomi, for instance? It really is all about clout to her.

Why did she add actual zippers to the skirt and subsequently ruined the form instead of mocking them? It's like she's completely dedicated to making every cosplay look as heavy, stuffy and overengineered as possible. I don't get it.
The whip stitched bias tape genuinely almost had me personally offended kek. Why didn't she AT LEAST use the right color thread?
>>324292It's crazy how I've seen $15 aliexpress wigs do the Teto wig fine but for some reason she couldn't figure it out. There are so many good comprehensive drill curl and middle part tutorials she has no excuse. Why does she insist on making these wigs these medieval torturing helmets to wear? It's not like Teto's curls are noticeably huge in size and couldn't be supported by a very light structure. I get the feeling that she really just isn't confident enough about her crafting fundamentals so she just slaps on more and more things in order to feel more accomplished.
