Ruby Heart – Marvel vs Capcom 2

Made for: A-Kon 2003

Background: A fun pirate-y costume for A-Kon 2003.

Patterns Used: Multiple, but I can’t remember which.

Shirt: For the shirt, I used a pattern that was pretty close – it included the ruffles and everything. I edited it for a larger collar, and the blue sleeves with the big cuffs.

Coat: For the coat, I used black stretch vinyl, and I used two different patterns – one for the upper part and one for the lower part. It zips up in the front, all the buttons are just for looks. I used part of a petticoat hoop in the hem to get he shape. The only part I was unhappy with on the coat was the shoulders, just because they had a tendency to slip down.

Armor/Eyepatch: The armour piece at the waist I made of vinyl, batting and silver stretch fabric – it ties in the back, underneath the coat. The eyepatch is vinyl covered in the same silver fabric.

Hat: The hat is pretty bad. LOL. I based it off a baseball cape and added foam extensions, and covered it all in black vinyl. It looked ok at the first con, but then after being squished in my suitcase too many times it started to look horrible!

Accessories: The wig, pants and boots I already had. The pants I’d bought for a costume that never happened, so I was glad to be able to use them.

History: Sadly this costume is toast. The black vinyl has shredded and there’s not much left.
