Sailor Mars - cheongsam

"Rei in my heart has a relatively clean and neat image, so I give her a design that is relatively simple."

Sailor Mars

Cheongsams by Streamer Fairy

Dress made by: Alyce and Hime-chan - Summer 2019

Accessories made by: Patti and Steph - Summer 2019

Appeared: Otakon 2019

Status: Active

When Streamer Fairy released her cheongsam designs for the Sailor Senshi in 2017, pretty much the entire community of Sailor Senshi cosplayers fell in love. How could you not? The elaborate floral designs, the richness of the lace, the way the color choices and accessories suited each of the senshi's personalities spoke to our love of beauty and our passion for detail. OPIB had already picked our costumes for 2018, and we knew these dresses would be complex and expensive, so we decided to aim to do these 2019.

Some of the other girls made their own from start to finish, but Alyce and Hime-chan combined their powers to make dresses for themselves, me, and Lady Terentia. (Alyce had previously made Iron Mouse for herself from this set which she lent to Annalee for our shoot, so that day she had five people in costumes she had sewed!) Alyce would cut out the pieces of the dresses and then drive them down to Hime-chan, who would take the pieces and hand-paint all of the gorgeous flowers you see, then drive them back up to Alyce who would assemble the pieces into dresses. For the resin work we commissioned Patti and Steph to make our jewelry: in my case, the earrings, the broach you see at my collar, and the frog ties down my front. I bought a pair of red kitten heels off of Amazon (since the pair I had bought for Fruit Maids years before were too big, which I forgot when I went to rewear them for our Q-Pot dresses but thankfully remembered this year) and a gold bangle that I would need for another costume later in the year.
