Costume Commissions are currently closed except for particularly interesting projects!
After a lot of thought I’ve decided to close costume commissions except for particular interesting ones that people ask me for. Please feel free to email me with commission ideas, however I’m focusing on tutorials and comic work this year so I’m cutting back on the number of commissions I take.
I’ll be working through my current commission queue in the mean time, taking pictures of how I make things as I go. I hope to get a lot more tutorials up on the website in this coming year, so watch this space!
Last Con of the season!
Phew, what a year! Just came back from the last convention of the season, now have a big break until the end of January for Akumacon in Ireland!
It’s been a busy year, more conventions than I ever thought possible have turned up. The next few months will be focusing back on commission work, a January of Taxes and refurbishing our shed to take more stock.
I’ve been behind with updating the site with tutorials, but I’ve been doing some really interesting commissions recently that has thrown up what I like to call a “disaster tutorial”. It’s rare that you get to see people make mistakes, so I’ll be taking you step by step through everything I did wrong, what I learned, and the final finished result when everything finally went right!
Riddle me this batman…
Ayacon Performace- A Traditional Japanese Dance
KONNICHIWA!
We’ve got some videos and Photos from Kii’s performance at Ayacon! A delight to watch as always, Kii brought down the house with her geisha moves and cheeky smile.
The Kimono is actual a real silk furisode from Japan because I’m a weirdo who likes collecting pretty fabrics. Songs are Murasaki no Yukari by Rin’ and Bad Things by Jace Everett.
A big thank you to Bento Dan and Batale for the Images and Video!
Tutorial: Sewing on a button
This is a really quick tutorial of how to sew on buttons in a way that’s both strong and neat. I’m experimenting with webcam tutorials, so if you want more videos please let me know. Only issue is that it has to be short and my camera isn’t very high quality. Any ideas please let me know and I’ll try to record myself doing it!
Carmillia Commission Project
I was approached to make this commission by a lovely woman from France. It’s not often I get a chance to make big dresses even though I have the skills to make them, so this was a lovely change for me.
The costume uses 24 metres of triple velvet and the train is 9m long. (About the length of a double decker bus!). The corset is steel boned to give as much support as possible and to make it comfortable to wear. The train is actually part of the sleeves, so it can be removed and the wearer can move about more easily. Everything is lined for comfort and durability.
The wig is made from 2 punky XL wigs in a custom colour ordered from Coscraft, built over fosshape, so it’s worn like a hat.
All the jewellery was sculpted and cast in resin so it’s stronger than using Fimo.

If that’s not enough to wet your appetite to watch our skit, well, it has Timber.

New Site Live!
The brand new Khaos Kostumes Site is now live and kicking! Some of the costumes need information which will be added over time, but all the images are there for you to look through.
Go check them all out in the Costume Galleries!
Some Costumes added!
I’ve updated the costume gallery with some costumes. I’m using NextGen with WordPress under a recommendation from Pez (from coscraft), and it’s working brilliantly.
Check them out!
