[COS] Polgara the Sorceress
So this is how my brain works: What? The costume you’ve been working on for ages isn’t coming together and now you’ve got a gaping hole in your costume lineup for a con in a week and a half? Quick! Run to the fabric store, buy a bunch of fabric, and make a pretty dress and cosplay as one of your favorite book characters even though no one will recognize you!
I’ve been having a love affair with the Belgariad books by David Eddings since I was 10 or 11 years old and I still really want to be Polgara when I grow up. For Katsucon, I decided to just go for it and make a dress like she would’ve worn in the books.
Thank you to Anna for the photography and going out in the cold with me! I look forward to maybe taking pictures in this dress again now that it’s a little warmer.
I want to be Polgara when I grow up, too. ;) and I have a son whose middle name is Garion, so I understand.
That… is awesome. I hope that at least some people pick up on the name reference!
You are something of my hero right now… For YEARS I’ve been looking for proof via Google Images that people (not just one person) who cosplay as Polgara exist. :D And that dress is GORGEOUS.
Aww thank you!
This looks fabulous! I wish I could sew.
