**Warrior Peach WIP**

Want to give a super shout out to all those that joined me on my Twitch stream yesterday, and @cosplaysupplies who is sponsoring this armor build!

It was a super productive day, which was great given how bad I’d been fighting depression. A full draft was finished off the arm bracers that I’ll make of L200 foam.

The process started with making a live mockup on my arm with saran wrap and masking tape. The photos here are my second draft as I wasn’t happy with the first. I used 3 different markers to keep track of my steps= blue for gridlines and draft lines, red for more details, and black for final. I always use black as a final as it allows me to overlay more tape for making other drafts for smaller parts.

From this mockup I was able to make posterboard patterns for the foam pieces, as well as wrappers to make my groove lines with my hot knife. It was a great productive stream and I plan on doing more!

Warrior Peach WIP

I’m finally getting started on the Warrior Peach by @skirtzzz! It’s going to be a task since I’m very unhappy with both my mental state and my body at the moment, but you know what gonna press through cause I want to cosplay this dammit.

The first task before me was getting the bodysuit ready before I felt prepped to do the armor. Since I can’t wear a bra, I’m trying these Silicone Breast lifts from Hiramex (found on Amazon) to at least help with boob movement underneath the armor. Even though I have heavy cups they are really doing a great job at least reducing boob rash!

With that done I started making a guesstimate on the bodysuit. With some excess spandex from other projects I used the bodysuit pattern from Kwiksew to give me a high collar suit and just didn’t cut out the full legs. Way more fabric than needed, but gave me a starting point. From there I marked off where I wanted to cut away fabric, and then slowly trimmed and reshaped. With my first draft done, I re-cut it from new fabric and re-sewed. To be honest I’m super happy with draft 2, but I’m having crotch issues so I’m going to go with one more final draft and then think about cutting the full suit.
