Hello everyone!
So today I'm doing another review for you, but this time I'll be reviewing something a little bit different!
I got the opportunity to be sent a Cosplay from the wonderful
CosplaySky. CosplaySky is an UK based online store who provides a large variety of Cosplay Costumes, Props and Shoes! I was so excited to work with them, as a keen Cosplayer it gave me a chance to Cosplay a character soon than I expected to!
The owners at
CosplaySky let me pick a Cosplay from their large collection, it was a hard decision as they have so many but I finally made a decision!
Apologies to those who are sick of Frozen, but I couldn't resist choosing Anna's Winter Dress! I know so many people are over Frozen, but me? I'm still in love with it, I still find myself singing the songs and Anna and Elsa have been on my Cosplay list ever since I first saw the film. I got sent the one without the cape which you can find
here for £59.99. CosplaySky also do a version with the cape
here for £84.00. Both versions come in 7 different sizes and also have an option for Custom sizes ( which is another £40.00 ).
Once I had chosen out my Cosplay, I planned to do a photoshoot at a hall near me! It was probably best that I had received the Cosplay without a cape as the weather was absolutely perfect for the shoot! Although, in the new year I will be either making or buying a cape a have the Cosplay début most likely for Birmingham MCM in March!
Once my parcel was sent out, it took about a week to arrive to my house! I was so surprised at how quick it arrived! The Cosplay was wrapped in two layers ( one being the parcel it came in ), I'm guessing if you have more fragile pieces then there would be more protection, but since all the sections on Anna's Cosplay was soft there was no need for many layers!
So here's the first photos from the shoot, as you can see the Cosplay consists of three different parts. The undershirt, the 'bodice' and the skirt. I found that the Cosplay in real life was far more impressive in person than on the stock photos. The shirt being more of an accurate blue colour, than the paler one in the stock photo! The Bodice section is made out of a velvet-like material, which I like as it looks similar to Anna's bodice in the film! It's super soft, a tiny bit shiny, but nothing which makes it look like a cheap Cosplay Costume! It's thick and warm, despite it not having sleeves. One of my favourite features about it is the embroidering on it, it's neat but also very accurate ( apart from some missing detail on the shoulders)! As for the way it fits, I chose a small, but I could of done with an extra small as it's a little big on me, but I can easily adjust that! The shape of the bodice I feel is also very flattering, but once again accurate to Anna's design. Along the back there is a zip so there is easy access into it.
