I'm finally starting to try and make my Hikaru outfit and will probably post back here often over the process. Right now, I'm wondering the best way to go about the main bodysuit. I have a solid red leotard that goes up neck; would it be better to use fabric paint and paint the black part or try and sew black fabric on it by hand?

Hello Earyn,
I saw this thread and I let our Crew Members know that you need help in making your Hikaru Cosplay outfit. I'm sure that one or several of them will help you out and answer your questions. Thanks for asking for our help. This is one of the things that we can do for our Guild members is to help them with making their Cosplay outfit. Good luck on your outfit and as you indicated feel free to post more info and photos of your progress in making this outfit. Their are a few members in the Guild that have yet to make their first Cosplay outfit. Seeing what someone has done to create theirs can inspire or motivate someone to make their own. Especially if they are not sure if they could make theirs or not.

Hey! I can't wait to see how your cosplay turned out!
In all of the Hikaru Angelic Layer cosplays I have seen, I've noticed people sewing on black fabric, rather than fabric paint. It also depends on the material of the red leotard. I find some materials bleed if you paint them (the lines tend to not be straight and bleed into the rest of the material). That's what I have noticed on my end. So, I would suggest to buy the same material as the red, and somehow try to sew or glue it on to the red leotard.

Earyn Thank you. I was also worried about the ink bleeding on the fabric, but I'm not much of a sewer. Still, I'll try finding a match and sewing it since stitches come out easier than paint lol smile
If you need any ore suggestions, feel free to ask (:

When sewing fabric onto your body suit, I'd highly recommend making a pattern using your current body suit, either on butcher paper or newspaper. It'll help you get your portioning correct. Good luck and have fun!!!!
