Costume color: Black 🖤 Over the years I have made a lot of costumes in primarily black tones. I used to gravitate toward them until I discovered the joy in colors, and now I try to inject some color into all of my costumes - see my Edea from FFVIII.
But there is something special about the elegance and strength in all black outfits. Whenever I make them, I always have a lot of fun with varying textures and finishes. Rarely do I make a bodysuit out of just one black fabric. It usually has at least two of three fabrics with different stretch qualities and especially finishes. And on my endless cosplay list are still some black outfits to be realized…
Do you have a color that reoccurs in your costume or even fashion wardrobe?
