Step-by-Step Guide

1. Research and Planning

2. Sewing the Dress

Pattern Creation

• Bodice: Create a pattern for the bodice using a fitted dress pattern as a base. Modify it to include the high collar and cut-out sections on the chest and back.
• Skirt: The skirt is a circle skirt with intricate embroidery. You can use a circle skirt pattern and adjust the length to match 2B's dress.

Fabric Cutting and Sewing

• Cutting: Cut the black velvet fabric according to your patterns. Ensure you have enough fabric for the bodice, skirt, and sleeves.
• Sewing: Sew the bodice pieces together, adding the white fabric for the collar and cuffs. Attach the skirt to the bodice, ensuring the seams are neat and secure.

Embroidery

• Design: Use reference images to sketch the embroidery design on paper. Transfer this design onto the skirt using fabric chalk or a light pencil.
• Painting: Use fabric paint to carefully paint the embroidery design onto the skirt. This process can be time-consuming but is crucial for accuracy.

3. Accessories

Gloves and Boots

• Gloves: Purchase black gloves that reach your elbows. If needed, modify them to fit snugly.
• Boots: Thigh-high black boots can be bought online or at a costume store. Ensure they are comfortable for long wear.

Eye Mask

• Material: Use black fabric or craft foam to create the eye mask. Measure your face to ensure a proper fit.
• Attachment: Attach elastic bands to the sides of the mask to secure it around your head.

4. Wig and Makeup

Wig

• Purchase: Buy a white wig that matches 2B's hairstyle. Websites like CrazeCosplay.com offer wigs specifically designed for 2B.
• Styling: Trim and style the wig to match 2B's bob cut. Use hairspray and a wig brush to maintain the shape.

Makeup

• Base: Apply a pale foundation to match 2B's complexion.
• Eyes: Use black eyeliner and eyeshadow to create a dramatic look. Consider using grey contact lenses to match 2B's eye color.
• Lips: Apply a nude or light pink lipstick.

5. Sword Creation

3D Printing (Optional)

• Design: Purchase or download a 3D model of 2B's sword. Websites like Thingiverse offer free models.
• Printing: Print the sword in sections if your 3D printer is small. Use PVC pipe to reinforce the structure.
• Assembly: Glue the pieces together and sand any rough edges. Spray paint the sword to match the in-game design.

EVA Foam

• Cutting: Use EVA foam to cut out the sword's shape. Layer the foam to create a 3D effect.
• Detailing: Use a heat gun to shape the foam and add details with a craft knife.
• Painting: Paint the sword using metallic colors to match the in-game appearance.

6. Final Touches

• Try On: Put on the entire costume to ensure all pieces fit well together. Make any necessary adjustments.
• Photoshoot: Consider doing a photoshoot in an industrial or futuristic setting to match the game's aesthetic. Action shots with the sword can enhance the cosplay's realism.
