Quistis Trepe - FFVIIIby ~FireLilyCosplay

Quistis: made and modeled by me

This costume was an absolute must for me. Final Fantasy VIII is one of my favorite video games and Quistis suits me very, very well. I love Final Fantasy VIII - it was my first RPG and it holds a special place in my heart. Quistis is such a great character, and I'm saddened that Square didn't develop her a bit more in the story. She's fun, sassy, smart, and weilds Blue Magic and a whip!

For Quistis, I bought a bubblegum pink stretch sateen for the shirt and skirt fabric and used RIT color remover to take out most of the pink. I was really happy when it turned out the shade of salmon/peach I wanted! Both shirt and skirt are 12 gores with black bias tape pinstripes. The gunmetal/silver bias tape was handmade from dark brown PVC and painted, as was the waistband. The shirt closes via separating zipper. The sleeves are reddish brown vinyl lined in cotton with black vinyl cuffs and are attached to the shirt at the shoulders.

The belt began as a leather blank that I conditioned, painted, punched, and riveted. The chains on the shirt were linked by hand and attached, as were the beaded details on the skirt. I purchased a hair barrette and covered a piece of cardboard in silver vinyl and attached it. Black leather gloves, pants, and wig were purchased. I'm not entirely happy with the wig (since Cosworx stopped carrying their Clover wigs, I haven't been able to find a good alternative), but it works for now.

I'm so freaking happy with this costume!! I really enjoyed cosplaying from FF8 finally and with so many wonderful cosplayers, too!

I thought it was a new cosplay, I didn't know that you had other pictures. I'm glad you do though, because they're lovely!

You make such an awesome Quistis. She's easily one of my favorite characters from the game, and definitely my favorite female! It is unfortunate, definitely, that she wasn't as developed, but I think that's one of my main gripes about FFVIII overall

Thank you, and I so agree with you.

Amazingly accurate. You put an incredible amount of effort into this and it really shows.
