Looks A Louer

I had the idea for this cosplay for ages bit never got around making it. But just before Castlefest inspiration struck. Had everything to make it 🙈. As a cosplayer you also hoard stuff to make cosplays. But the one that you have inspiration for will be created. Really loved how it turned out. 📸 by cosplayfotograaf.

Did not make a single dress this year. I am adjusting to my new life. My energy is slowly coming back and I am happier. The main focus of my life is now me and friends and making memories. Going to castlefest next week but did not make anything. I will throw something together and just have a good time. This year for me is like a break from my old self and the stressfull life. Do not know where I am going yet but I will get there. Take care of yourself! 📸 Nico Bruin

De jurk waar ik ooit in eerste instantie niet kapot van was maar later veel heb gedragen 🙈. Soms moet je aan iets wennen. 📸 Nico Bruin.

I love vintagedresses and when you get the chance to pair it with a vintage car that is fantastic. 📸 Nico Bruin

Little throwback to Runeheim Festival this year. What a great festival. Photo's by Paul van der Keer.

In the Netherlands it is either raining or so hot you cannot do anything. I am not a summer person. I like te fall more. Nature has so many beautiful colors and the temperatures are lower. So longing for fall and winter. Would love some snow. 📸 Nico Bruin

Festival season is in full swing. That means costumemaking. I have been so busy remoddeling my house I have not found time to start any new costumes. Now finally the house is livable again and I can finally reach my sewing machine, but first we have to hit the drawingbboard because what are we making? The pictures are made by on Elfia Vorden. It was such fun to wear something not princessy. I have decided that on Castlefest I will not wear a princess dress.

The gypsy outfit is my absolute favorite. I have made several items that I mix and match. It is fun, comfy and so happy. Seeing the photo’s just gives an instant happy feel. ❤️ 📸 Nico Bruin

I have a thing for vintage dresses. When I saw a new vintage inspired pattern for a vintage dress I had to make it. Found this lovely floral pattern fabric that was perfect for it. It’s a digital printed linnen. It is great for a a hot summer day. 📸 Nico Bruin
