I've always admired people who make their own costumes. Even when it's for something as simple as a Halloween party, if someone's gone an extra step to create something from scratch specifically for their costume, it just shows that little bit of extra creativity and dedication. That's something I tend to lack. A lot of the time, the costumes I've worn have been largely dependent on what I've got lying around, which is probably why I haven't fully dedicated my free time to cosplay yet. I lack in the creative and crafty department.
Emily White, a cosplayer based in the UK, is a prime example of this creative flair, building each and every one of her cosplays from scratch, no matter how intricate the characters and outfits become. So, to learn more about her process, I spoke with White about what it really looks like and where it started.
