Costume Information
| Description | |
|---|---|
| I decided to cosplay Anna Valerious because i love the design and i love Kate Beckinsale! At first glance i though "yeahh, thats looks easy", oh how wrong i was. This costume took a long time, alot longer than expected. There arnt very many reference pictures from this film, so i had to watch Van Helsing on a loop while i was making this. Im so so pleased with the outcome, its as screen acurate as i can get it, and finally i have a costume i can look at and say im happy with. Any questions feel free to ask. | |

Buckles WIP (Posted 15th October 2010) SOOOOO i realised i dont really post much progress even though i take lots of pics as i go along. These are the buckles that go up the side of Annas boots. Its tedious and boring to do. They are made from craftfoam, covered in an old faux suede cussion cover, and 31mm brass curtainrings to look like the buckle bit. They look shit and are rushed, but hopefully noone will even notice tbh. |
|
OMG (Posted 8th October 2010) YES! finally my bead tops came!! happy fairy ^__^ |
 |
Jacket lining (Posted 4th October 2010) .......well sort of. This is the start it looks much better now its finished. Its all hand drawn with a sharpie...the material was the red colour, im such a cheapskate lol |
 |
Progress. (Posted 2nd September 2010) Corset progress! |
|
Wow... (Posted 30th August 2010) So work on this is happening alot quicker than i thought. But hopefully ill be able to post pics soon, its hard finding the right light so that you can see the colour of the velvet. Pics soooooon! |
|
ok... (Posted 28th August 2010) so im actually starting work on this properly now!!! ABOUT TIME I DID! |
 |
Starting. (Posted 16th June 2010) Ok so so far i have some boots that im going to modify, got some velvet! Leggins will be easy enough to find, might use horse riders ones as they are more durable. And have a wig that i want to use, just bidding on it atm. That blouse is going to be a bitch! Got a corset ill be dyeing a modifying too :) |

You look so much like her!! Kate Beckinsale is my favorite actress in the world :D
This is looking amazing!! You suit her so much XD
oh lord you look so stunning!

Looks incredible!
Uncanny. It honestly is difficult to tell the difference between the reference and the pictures of you - it's only the backgrounds that give it away!
I agree with Odangochan. It shows the signs of a great costume if we need to take a sec to work out which pics are you.
Amazing job. I love the blouse. The whole costume is going to be so perfect and you really look like her. ;)
WOW thank you so much everyone! huuuuuuge compliments there D: i love Kate so much she is easily my fave actress, i really do want to do this properly. Im devistated i dont have a prop or anything! maybe next time. Just a lil more hand stiching on the boots and they are done! :D then on to the dreaded bead sewing and jacket emboidery....
The progress on this gets better and better ^^ i can't wait to see this.
