I’m really proud of this costume, it’s one of my all time favourites! Atelier designs are amazing craft projects – there are so many techniques and details to consider. After making Totori in 2012, I was itching to make another Atelier costume … I saw Shallotte, and knew it had to be her!

From her design alone, Shallie has a lot of features I love – cat ears, green hair, cute bows, sparkly trinkets and a pleated skirt to name a few! Her personality is really endearing too – it’s always refreshing to cosplay someone so upbeat and energetic!

I made Shallotte to match my friend Lex Cosplay as Shallistera. At long last we wore them together for a photoshoot at AnimeCon 2016! Once my costume was finished, I made her broom and updated some of the accessories before entering the UK qualifiers for European Cosplay Gathering, where I qualified as the Solo Act for Season 7!
