I’m a huge fan of Final Fantasy XIV and created already a few costumes from the game. Check out my Summoner Cosplay or my Monk Cosplay if you are curious! The game is full of gorgeous designs and so it was easy to find a new inspiration: the Miqo’te Starter Set! This costume would be comfy and great for warm summer conventions. Plus, it was a great change to my mostly heavy, massive and uncomfortable armor sets.
The cute Miqo’te cosplay took me around two weeks from start to finish and it was quite a challenge for my still limited sewing skills. I used mostly faux leather, basic cotton fabrics and faux fur and finished the costume in 2017. It was also a little bit weird to turn into a cute cat-girl, while I mostly portray strong and badass warrior women. But it’s never a bad idea to step out of your comfort zone.
Still, it was pretty nice not to worry about packing this costume and to be super comfy and breezy at a con!
If you want to get started with cosplay, a project like the Miqo’te Starter Set could be just perfect! Hope the full crafting video on my Youtube channel could be helpful! You might also want to check out my Sewing for Beginners Book!
