Can anybody help? I want to make the coat for this cosplay, just to complete it. It's not essential, but I want to make the costume as accurate as possible.
So, how would I go about making this coat? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you really want to go all out, you could even stuff them - make two petal shapes, sew round the edges (leaving a small hole), turn it inside out, put in some toy stuffing, and then sew a line down the middle for the definition. It would look ace - and take hours, so it depends how much you want this coat! |

Thanks again for the assistance. __________________ Continuously at the heart of the Attack, the furious Storm that never rests. |

As for making the actual coat, as its clearly leaves inside and out, either cover both sides of the coat, attach the leaves steaight to one another in the manner of scales, or have a base coat made of netting or similar to attach them to so you can see them from both sides - though the last option would be noticably different, it'll be easier for if you don't have the time to make enough leaves. |
