Planned Why I chose to be Kaylee
Kaylee was one of my earlier costumes. I love her as a character, and I saw some resemblance. My first attempt consisted of a jumpsuit a friend found that I modified and made a jacket inspired by hers to go with it. But the jumpsuit was a little small for me, and there were so many Kaylees running aroud DragonCon, so I decided to retire her. Slowly, I saw fewer Kaylees at DragonCon, and my hubby bought me her parasol from the first episode. It made me want to cosplay as her again. |
Construction Notes
My plan was to make the jumpsuit from scratch, down to dying the fabric. But I have never dyed a thing in my life and I know how impatient and exacting I can be. Luckily I found some great broadcloth not only in the green, but in brown and grey too! And Simplicity has a jumpsuit pattern. |
