PROFILE
Astarohime Cosplay: Esther Blanchett (Trinity Blood) Years of Cosplay: 3 Moscow, Russia astarohime.deviantart.com Cosplay Gen: The costume looks really complex; how long did it take you to make it? Also, what kind of materials did you use for it? Astarohime: We (my friend Noelle helped me with the pearls and gems) made it in 2 months. I used a lot of different fabrics and accessories. I used satin as main fabric; I bought over 50 meters and started to make the pattern. CG: What character would you like to cosplay next and why? A: I already made Seth from Trinity Blood and another Esther dress. Now I’m planning to cosplay the goddess from Saint Seiya. I just love difficult costumes. CG: How is the cosplay community in your country? A: Great! In Moscow there are over 500 cosplayers and cosplay-groups, I think. Maybe even more. We got a lot of festivals, where I usually take part!
