Alternative Couture Designer Redfield is a new and ever evolving company.
(5)

The designer, Kathryn Paterwic, gives lectures around steampunk fashion and proper Victorian behaviors. She is inspired by Victorian counter culture, the way that the mental state of the world in the Victorian age is reflected in fashion of the time and what happens when society’s corsets strings are pulled too tight. She also goes by the adage more is more (more clothes can be more sexy) and the theory that leaving things up to the imagination is sexy.

There is no argument. Hate and fear have won for the moment, but it will not win forever. Things will get worse before they get better, but WE NEED TO STAY POSITIVE. This doesn't mean "stay nice." This doesn't mean be nice to those who have actively chosen voted against our rights, but this does mean stop doom scrolling.
We love you, your feelings are valid, but we will take it one day at a time, and we will NOT be silent.

DID YOU VOTE?
Today is the day to change the world. You can do that every year by voting, ever just voting for local races. Things change slowly over time. We didn't get to this point overnight.
We in America are lucky enough to vote, so do it. Do it for those who can't. People litterally DIED, SO YOU COULD VOTE and voting early, making it so much easier to do it on your schedule. My husband and I voted last Friday, made it a date night, and went to dinner.
People 😑😑😑 are making it harder to make our voices heard because we don't think, look, or believe what they do, and that is not right. Vote for whoever you want, but vote

Now, you may continue on with your day.

How do you make your husband?
You paint him blue and let him play with his Star Wars friends.

This was my husband Christmas present, but he (and me) were scared of the white and blue paint. I had painted myself pink and green, but I was also wearing red ( with the pink for Persephone) and green ( with green for Posion Ivy) so you can imagine the stress and he was blue for 10 hours.

I would also like to thank oddly for giving us blue stand towels when we checked in for Bee to get the makeup off. We didn't need them, but it was amazing and really appreciated

We have a kunundrum, and I need your help.
I was going to wear Al to this weekend for a very specific reason. The only time I can fit him in would be Friday. However, that reason no longer exists, and Al has some cons to simply wearing and feeling comfortable. Now I could wear Rosie, which is the same fan base and also fun and newer. Let me share the pros and cons of both.

🟢PROS) I am known for my Alastor and come on... it is Alastor
🔴CONS) Makeup takes a half hour. I can't wear the coat and wig in the car for the hour and a half drive. Because the shoulders are foam, there is less movement, and there are usually about 40 people dressed as Al

Rosie has her own list
🟢PROS) Makeup only takes 15min, easier to wear.
🔴CONS) The hat. While most of the people I follow have a Rosie Cosplay, there is usually only 3 or 4 at a con. She is not as well known outside the fandom and is not as impressive as a build.

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY, to order Batty Scarves and receive them before Halloween. I still have a lot left and they will be at RICC so you can try them on in person but to get shipped before Halloween place an order on Wednesday.

The belt it somewhere in the house, but I didn't bother finding it for this quick try one. It fits so much better.
I made a video about all the fixings but just a quick run down starting at the top.
-took the center back and collar in
-let the sides out
-took some fullness out of the sleeves
-changed the black cuff to elastic
-made the top it's own body suit
- thrifted a skirt
-cut side front seams to make a slit
-plakets for the buttons
- relined it
- made shorter
You can upcycle cosplays, it is ok

10/16/2024

I haven't been to RICC, but I am sooooo EXCITED to be back. It will be a busy weekend. I will have a table with all the other cosplayers but add to that

FRIDAY: 4:30 and
and I will be giving a little panle about how to get into cosplay (answer you just do it... like Halloween)

SATURDAY:3PM I will be hosted a march ALL MANDOS ARE WELCOME. You don't need to be part of a Star Wars Costuming Club to take part. Photographers and videographers will come. If you would like to be a handler and make sure everyone is safe, please DM me.

SUNDAY: nothing 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 but that could change at any time

Here's the thing. No one can be perfect at everything.

I get asked a lot about wigs, I would think it is because I am good at sewing, foam, and sometimes makeup, but wigs are not my strong suit. I know I don't know enough to teach anyone almost anything about them.
I know you probably don't want to hear it and some cosplayers don't want to admit it but there are so many skills that use different ways of thinking it is almost impossible for one person to be good at 3D printing and foam while keeping up with fabrics and embroidery. And new innovations come out all the time. 5 years ago, 3D printers were super expensive, and resin printers did not exist.
I would never say I have a team ( it is usually me and sometimes I annoy my husband enough to help), but I do have freinds that are willing to help, and sometimes I just stumble across a thing that looks good. I keep telling myself that things that look awful usually look amazing when you are done, probably because you work extra hard to become happy with it.
We need to add to the mix that some people physically can't do certain things or don't have an interest in learning, and that is ok. TO BE CLEAR, don't be afraid to ask for help or advice, but don't get discouraged if someone can't help

I am trying to get a Mandalorian March together at Rhode Island Comic Con in November. If you or someone you know is interested in joining PLEASE SHARE. Photographer and videographers WELCOME. No club affiliation needed to join.
We are going to get together at 3 in front of the Omni inside of security (I will have a banner). I thought we could Hang out, talk, maybe get some photos taken STEP OFF IS AT 3:20, I don't know how long it will take and you can peel off at anytime. I hope you can join us

Lots of people were doing this, but I am spooky all year round, so it felt kind of weird. However, I like that I am seeing more still images in my feed rather than reels.
Don't get me wrong, I like reels, but I always love seeing beautiful and interesting pictures more. Seeing the final product and having time to look at all the little details. Thar is what I focus on in my cosplay, and I love it when others do the same, putting their own spin on a cosplay 👩‍🍳💋

🦇🦇Set 2 of the batty scarves are ready for adoption🦇🦇.
These little guys are ready to be shipped out to their forever homes. I restocked the first set, so if you missed that post, don't worry, and as always, these are examples. I can also custom make most combos if you don't see one you like.
DM to place an order.

I wasn't going to make new scarves after finishing 50 but I went to restock and found these.... ohhhhh which one should I keep?

❤️💙🤍Happy National Voter Registration Day, Are you registered to vote ?🤍💙❤️
We go through this EVERY YEAR, I will not tell you who to vote for or anything, but you have the right to vote in ALL elections. I know that, as a society, we are really concerned with the presidential election but we have 3 branchesof government, and each are important. Even local elections make a massive difference.
Having a Ben Franklin Space Marine is fun, but sometimes... you feel this urge to perform civic duties like remind people to vote and make sure you are registered.
This year, it is important to make sure you are registered. just did a reel about people using AI to challenge the Voter Roll and taking people off the Voter Registration list.
Make sure your voice is heard ✊️✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Starting a little earlier than usual advertising this years class of bat wig scarves, but there are tons more to come in other color combos, but if you want one and don't see your favorite colors yet just DM me and I can wipe one out and send it on.
DM me to reserve your today, all of these are one of a kind and made by me, so I can keep quality HIGH
IF YOU SEE THIS POST, PLEASE GIVE IT A 🦇🩸, we all know how much socials love self advertisement

WHY IS THIS TAKING ME SO LONG
WHY AM I FINDING SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO WORK ON...Because I am scared 😶😶, I have a tendency to avoid projects that I am unsure about.
Some cosplays like to work within their wheelhouse, and I am not saying that is bad. We are not talking about a sewist trying embroidery (but we did that too) because that is the same field of expertise, some fields are MASSIVE and each project throws new challenges at you even thought you have been doing it for years. I am talking about a foamsmith working with 3D prints kind of out of my wheelhouse, and that is fine. Cosplay should be fun, and I find fun in stressing myself out with new techniques.
You don't NEED to challenge yourself to be a good cosplayer, but I love learning 😅😅. Yhup scared of doing new things but am down to learn. What is something you would love to learn? Maybe I can help.

PLEASE SHARE
2 spots fell through, so I have 3 spots open for helmet bags. I make them custom, so as long as you have the measurements of your helmet, I can make a bag ( I just happen to only have Mando helmets). The larger bag can also fit a motorcycle helmet. They are also just cute large bags in case you want one and don't have a helmet.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE, are we ready for it? just popped in to show off my Jack Skellington cosplay. We have a big weekend coming up. Tomorrow, I will be driving to set up for RICC, starting on Firday. I have a few things to finish up, and my husband will be showing off his new cosplay for the first time. But don't worry #nightmarebeforechristmas is a now to Christmas thing, so their will be a lot more to come 😉 If you missed the batty scarves, they will be back in time to share them with your spooky friends for Christmas. A lot is happening #cosplaymaker #halloween2024 #nightmarebeforechristmascosplay #jackskellington #spookyseason #halloweenallyear

Not going to lie, I was a little hurt that no one appreciated my Alastor and Rosie video. I want to tell myself that no one realized it was the same person doing both characters. It took me so long to figure out how to put it together. I spent an hour on the makeup for each, and like an idiot I wanted to do this by myself, so I had to put both these on by myself. #hazbinhotelcosplay #alastorcosplay #rosiehazbinhotel #icandoboth #iconiccharacter

So I made these little slides, which you can see in my story highlights to give a rough side by side. These are only some of the pieces in there, I have a few most to post. I know people love side by sides and to see interpretation even if they don't know the character, and it is also an easy way to see cosplays I have done. There are more indepth write ups on Alastor, Merida, and soon Poison Ivy on my website. #cosplaysidebyside #cosplaymaker #cosplaythrowback

I have had a hard time figuring out reels on Facebook 😅😅😅. So I am a little light on the reels, lets add one shall we before I need to post about my bat scarves again. #rosiehazbinhotel #hazbinhotelcosplay #historicalcostuming

Happy Friday, the 13th I thought it would be fitting to being back the🦇🦇 BAT WING SCARVES 🦇🦇 earlier than usual. I handmake everyone so you can costumize the color combo you want. Because of their uniqueness, it is hard to put them on my website, but I will be posting all the pretty made combos soon, so check stories and highlights to let me know if you want one Give me a 🩸🩸🩸 if you love the look 😉 and maybe want one #spookyseason #handmadegifts #halloweenvibes #supportsmallbusiness

No one ever sees me here sooooo let's see how this doesn't, just a test run. It was a passion project, and I have been wanting to do this since the show dropped. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Let's see who figures out they are both just me. #hazbinhotelalastor #hazbinhotel #cosplaymaker #hazbinhotelrosie #hazbincosplay

COSPLAY REVEAL...almost 🤣🤣 but can we just #hazbinhotel #rosiehazbinhotel

I just had to, and it was appropriate because it is also the last day to register for the Boston leg of the Cosplay Grand Prix for Fan Expo #spacemarines40k #historicalcosplay #foamsmith

FACEBOOK Won't upload my reels, so we will try this. HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT. Who is excited about the primer of #hazbinhotel 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️. I made this a few years ago but thinking of putting it back in rotation before while it is a ton of work to put on, it is so much fun. Litterally got it all on looked in the mirror and said "awww, I miss this cosplay". If you have any questions about this cosplay or want to see and thing please don't hesitate to comment. I will also have the Build Book up on my website if you want to see how I made this. #alastorcosplay #alastorhazbinhotel #vivziepop #helluvaboss #cosplaygrwm

Happy Yule I am spending some time with family in AZ, which means no cosplay builds for me. But I thought I would pop on and wish my witchy friends a glorious Yule. #wintersolstice #YuleMagic #wintercosplay #fantasycharacterdesign

I have resigned myself to the fact that my latest build will not be done by the end of the year ( I have a RANT, for that one). My commission spots are full for Christmas presents, and the only thing I have for sale is Yule cards, but who really sends cards anymore. In times like these, there is only one thing to d, say Happy Holidays, post my 2023 recap, and see you all in 2024. #2023recap #cosplaymaker #cosplayerofinstagram
