"Damsel" Cosplay Tutorial!
Added 2024-04-03 21:54:58 +0000 UTCYou KNOW once I saw the swords and weathering and dragons, I had to do it.
ANYWHO, here is my first full cosplay video for y'all, I hope you like it! I had a lot of fun putting this together so I definitely want to continue these kinds of videos for my more manageable projects.
Let me know what other 'simple' costumes you'd maybe wanna see :) LOVE YA

would you ever consider making a video about sourcing ethical wigs? x

2024-06-23 05:18:58 +0000 UTCI just watched a Damsel "review" thing, the other day and thought, "Oops, I thought she was Rachel."

2024-05-06 11:29:52 +0000 UTCSo much fun! I really want to make that leather chest piece and just wear it around casually...as one does. :)

2024-04-30 19:50:54 +0000 UTCI'm not exactly a cosplayer (I do wear a variety of interesting pieces I make though 😉) but I make jewellery pieces for cosplayers and I'm mum to an awesome 9yr old cosplayer whom it is my honor to assist 😉 (the detail she goes into is intimidating) so I love to learn techniques to help her realise her ideas. Rachel is great at explaining what she's doing - helps hugely!

2024-04-21 08:58:26 +0000 UTCBrilliant cosplay! Y'know, every time I see you with your sword I want to get one myself, badass chicks in armour will always be inspiring!

2024-04-19 21:31:45 +0000 UTCThe moment you said "worbla" I thought this is not a simple cosplay. As a non-cosplayer (but sewist of teen cosplay pieces), this still seemed like a lot of work! It looks fantastic!

2024-04-18 15:53:28 +0000 UTCLove it!! The movie was surprisingly really good! Two betrayed women burnt it all down!

2024-04-17 20:06:34 +0000 UTCwhat if you had one of the rooms in your house and turned it into like a museum room for your complete costumes and dioramas? You could include little blurbs about the costumes or eras in history that the costumes come from. It'd look really cool and be a fun way to store things! :)

2024-04-07 20:04:56 +0000 UTCMe: I'm not buying any more tshirts. Also me: furiously googling to find that Mothman shirt. Great quick cosplay. Seeing a less intense cosplay start to finish is great because getting into cosplay has been really intimidating but you made something that would be manageable and still looks cool. Plus an excuse to pull out a sword! I've been watching Attack on Titan with my wife and I think doing a scout outfit would probably be easy enough.

2024-04-07 16:46:46 +0000 UTCLet's face it, not all dragon movies can be the masterpiece 'Dragon Heart'. And that's ok.

2024-04-07 14:23:34 +0000 UTCI literally thought the exact same thing throughout the movie I could not stop thinking it was like I was watching Rachel, and my mom asked if it was her too.
Sarah Kelly
2024-04-06 17:27:57 +0000 UTCWhen I decided to watch this movie one night not long after it had come out, I literally kept saying to myself “I swear I am watching Rachel Maksy, not Millie Bobby Brown because they already naturally look so similar.” Rachel looks so much like her without the costumes, makeup and other stuff— so I already knew that it would be a great cosplay for her to do even though the film wasn’t like the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. And Rachel was absolutely correct about it being one of those kind of movies where you just kind of want to watch something for the fun of it. Because it is fantasy and could be a nice diversion from the everyday which made me enjoy it even though it wasn’t the best. I hate to say this because it sounds mean, but Millie Bobby Brown is a really great actress and carried this film on her back and made it alright. Also, I did like the message even if it was a tad bit cheesy, women empowerment will always be in my wheelhouse. Kind of wish there was a “Rosie the Riveter” emoji, wouldn’t that be awesome!?!

2024-04-06 17:26:54 +0000 UTCIt's like 1700s Damsel with magic.

2024-04-06 16:39:46 +0000 UTCRight? it's visually pretty. I love the wardrobe.

2024-04-06 16:38:37 +0000 UTCI just started watching this show too! So many fun costumes!

2024-04-06 05:25:14 +0000 UTCLoved this! I just started watching Renegade Nell on Disney+ and there’s so many fun costumes on that show that it’d be great to see your take on some of those!

2024-04-05 18:54:32 +0000 UTCI have not seen the movie, but this is an awesome cosplay. So perfect. The corset looks great and the dress is perfection. Great Job! Love it

2024-04-05 16:49:53 +0000 UTCMy husband also calls Rachel my YouTube girl. 😂
Lizz Kopta
2024-04-04 19:56:09 +0000 UTCThe corset really looks pretty cool. Love it! I was about to send you a suggestion on Instagram but that didn't work so I'll try here: Rosa from the German fairy tale movie "Rübezahls Schatz" (Rübezahl's Treasure) wears a super-cute outfit and I feel this would also work as a regular outfit and not only a cosplay.
Conny
2024-04-04 16:16:09 +0000 UTCThis was lovely! I'm glad you got to wreck something--it's always fun to see you go ham on a garment!
Leigh
2024-04-04 15:56:07 +0000 UTCYaaaaaaas that would be SO CUTE!!!
Leigh
2024-04-04 15:55:19 +0000 UTCSo glad you did this cosplay! I was watching Damsel the other night and my husband came in for a sec, "is that your youtube girl? in a movie??" You two look so similar!

2024-04-04 15:20:36 +0000 UTCHow about Kaylee from Firefly? This project turned out great! Perfect example of simple-yet-effective costuming 🥰
Delphia
2024-04-04 15:18:10 +0000 UTCLoved it! Maybe you could do Emily of New Moon, would love to see your take on the character of Emily.

2024-04-04 13:51:45 +0000 UTCSince you asked :).. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Malone With much more coverage, of course, and not bronze colored. I know you could pull this look off really well!

2024-04-04 13:00:07 +0000 UTCThis turned out so well!

Edith
2024-04-04 08:32:43 +0000 UTCI loved this! I cannot for the life of me think of something that would be an easy cosplay idea. Maybe a Firefly option? Some of those might be easy.
Ciara Neiger
2024-04-04 04:00:19 +0000 UTCJust went and watched it. Crazy how much you DO look like Bobby Brown, Rachel ! Especially the end scenes ! And of course your recreation is spot on ! Of course, I'ld love to see you make the dragon ! Lol ! Maybe Frodo wants to cosplay !? Lol !
Margaret MacLellan
2024-04-04 03:31:27 +0000 UTCLove it!!! Now you just have to make the dragon!!! Like a giant dragon head would be pretty cool.😎

2024-04-04 01:35:08 +0000 UTCLarp costumes as different archetypes could be fun. Also for brainfood: Keyleth, Jester, Yasha, or Imogen from Critical Role; Alina Starkov from Shadow and Bone; Malon or Llia from Legend of Zelda; Skyrim and The Witcher also seem like they may have some easy candidates.

Molly Fanton
2024-04-04 01:14:33 +0000 UTCI think Savannah would make a good Aziraphale ! (Though Tommy lives closer!) LOL!
Margaret MacLellan
2024-04-04 01:10:14 +0000 UTCMovie inspo ideas: The Craft, Jumanji (but make it Vintage), Tink (from Hook), and The Dark Crystal (for a more complicated look)

2024-04-04 00:52:20 +0000 UTCI love it!!!

2024-04-04 00:11:34 +0000 UTCI'm a huge fan of Good Omens and cosplay Crowley all the time. I found he was a pretty easy character to put together. I just made the jacket and "scarf necklace" from season one and pulled the rest together from my closet or thrifting. I've even added a turtleneck for a Season 2 look. (And my bestie cosplays as Aziraphale now.)

2024-04-03 23:41:52 +0000 UTCMy girls & I watched this together & it was a fun romp! Thanks for the making-of vid!!!

2024-04-03 23:38:49 +0000 UTCI would love to see a “simple” Daphne from Scooby Doo!
Meghan Keate
2024-04-03 22:47:27 +0000 UTCI became brave enough to start using worbla, foam, plastidip, etc in my own builds because of your videos so I really loved this tutorial format!! I would love to see you break down more pieces of your process. Maybe if you’re working on a big project, you could focus a Patreon video on one aspect of the process, like how you did embroidery for Padme or adapted the dress pattern you used for Danielle. I just love learning from you because I never feel overwhelmed or intimidated when you explain and demo things so I would be excited about any videos where you break things down a bit more.
Hannah Land
2024-04-03 22:40:42 +0000 UTCI only made it like ten minutes into this movie... but I'm super excited to see Rachel eat, per usual.

2024-04-03 22:40:09 +0000 UTCThis is definitely a useful tutorial for when Halloween comes around! You could do a whole video of simple Halloween costume ideas and DIYs maybe 🥰
Shannon Joy
2024-04-03 22:36:55 +0000 UTCYou might dig Renegade Nell on Disney, lots of costume inspo.
Lily Sanchez
2024-04-03 22:34:35 +0000 UTCYou are an absolute BADASS! It doesn't matter what weapon you wield; be it sword, Dremel, paintbrush, or glue gun, you are a force to be reckoned withwith and we are so lucky to be able to watch you work 💗
Maggie Stewart
2024-04-03 22:33:17 +0000 UTCWell now we need to see a full Krista from Ferngully cosplay!
Maura Cavanaugh
2024-04-03 22:13:35 +0000 UTCI would love to see the process of making the reels

2024-04-03 22:12:22 +0000 UTCI watched it last night for the first time, and all I kept thinking was "release the Floor Troll!" You did not disappoint. 🙌🙌

2024-04-03 22:10:31 +0000 UTCDamsel? *googles* Cosplay? *googling intensifies*
Danielle Steinberg
2024-04-03 22:09:15 +0000 UTCOMG, when I was watching this movie, she looked so much like you that I just pretended I was watching you be a complete bad*ss. I'm so glad you're doing this cosplay!
KitsuneChibiko
2024-04-03 22:08:14 +0000 UTCThe opening of the movie was a bit like reverse cosplay where Millie was dressed like you 😝
Naty
2024-04-03 22:05:25 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to finish work and watch this!!! I kept thinking Millie looked like Rachel while I was watching Damsel. 🥰
Janna
2024-04-03 22:02:34 +0000 UTCYassss thank you Rachel!
Tabitha D
2024-04-03 22:02:12 +0000 UTCIt’s soooo funny you did this Cosplay because the whole time I was watching the movie I kept slipping in to thinking it was you on the screen and feeling way overly protective of you even though it was really Millie Bobby Brown with red hair 😂🤣 Perhaps she was channeling her inner Rachel Maksy for the movie 🍿❤️🎥

2024-04-03 22:01:23 +0000 UTCMy want to get into cosplay grows stronger with everything you post 😂 I feel like with my "I could totally do something like that" craft confidence paired with my adhd it could only end well
