She-Ra: Princess of Powerby ~FireLilyCosplay

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Character & Theme

Photographer: David Dunn
Costume and prop made and modeled by FireLilyCosplay

This costume has been a long time coming. I went as She-Ra for two Halloweens when I was a wee lass, complete with plastic mask, toy sword, and plastic printed costume. She-Ra was my LIFE for many years, because she is amazing, beautiful, smart, kind, and caring...everything we as humans should be.

The dress is made of Peau de Soie, with leather applique detailing and painted cabochon, and is fully boned. The head piece is Wonderflex covered with leather on a headband with combs. The gauntlets are leather, grommets, and lacing. I bought a Hera and Hestia wig from EpicCosplayWigs and sewed them together for She-Ra's epic and full golden hair. The cape is red gabardine stabilized with horsehair braid and attached to a leather choker. The boots were some that I already owned and painted to match the bronze/gold leather.

The sword is made of foam board, Wonderflex, Gesso, paint and painted cabochons. I am making a tutorial for this and will post it soon! It came out very well and I may even offer this for sale as a resin cast.

Anyway, I absolutely loved being one of my childhood idols for a day, and everyone at New York Comic Con appreciated seeing She-Ra and taking pictures, especially in our large Etheria group!

Brings back so many memories from childhood! It makes me happy to see a fantastic She-Ra cosplay!
I really like the idea you did with the wigs. Sewing 2 together is perfect for her massive golden locks.
Peau du Soie is a perfect choice for the base dress too.
I totally had one of those plastic print costumes as a kid too lol. Oh man, those were funny.

Thanks! I actually just found the pictures of those childhood costumes the other day and man, oh man, I'm so glad I know how to sew now!
