Starfire Cosplay
Our stunning Geek Girl
GillyKins looks awesome as Starfire! Here's what she said about it...
"Way back when I started reading comics I feel in love with the Teen Titans, I was able to relate to the characters as I grew and matured. Due to this I have a long standing love affair with the original Titan ladies: Donna Troy, Raven and Starfire. It’s been on my cosplay bucket list to do costumes for all three characters, mission accomplished!
Starfire is a costume you look at and think "I can't totally make that easily" but when you sit down and plan things out you wonder why you though it was a good idea in the first place...then rage quite at least 5 times.
I drafted a custom monokini pattern for Starfire's main suit, which is made out of a purple metallic spandex. I made a moulded collar and 'bra' piece using fosshape to add structure and support to the suit. The boots are made in two sections: a boot piece and legging. I wanted to be able to easily take of my shoes and rest so making the thigh high boots in two pieces was the best decision possible. The legging section has silicon elastic on the tops to hold them in place. My bracers and armband are made out of wonderflex and craft foam. I head formed the bracers to allow for maximum arm/wrist movement so they are super comfortable. All the gems on the costume are custom cast in resin. All the purple gems have purple glitter inset in them where as the red gem is done in a marbleized red. My ‘crotch gem’ is attached to a pin backing so it is removable for storage/washing. All the purple gems are finished with purple glitter glue surrounding the gems."
