Jacket – Patterns I modified a McCalls pattern by shortening it and created custom sleeves.
I chose suiting fabric because Violet is a professional and this fabric provides a clean uniform look to the seams.
I picked the crepe because the texture reminded me of a doll’s clothes.
Pattern pieces cut out
![Page 8: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Jacket – Whole
I stitched the back and front pieces together except for the right shoulder.
Interfacing was ironed onto the collar and front pieces for a crisp look.
Seams were finished with a serger.
The biggest challenge was keeping Tiki off the fabric.
Finished seams with interfacing.

Jacket - Belt
For the belt I cut out four long pieces of microsuedefabric.
After cutting the pieces out, I carefully ironed interfacing to stiffen the soft fabric and maintain a smooth rectangular shape.
Then I sewed the halves together to give an appearance of a thick leather belt.

Jacket - BeltFor the back ring, I melted moldable plastic and shaped it to form the desired size. Then I painted it gold and sewed the belt pieces onto it.

Jacket – Belt On the front, I installed a suspender buckle and a sew-on snap to the jacket.
I glued the other half of the snap to a gold button and used it to hold the suspender buckle in place.

Jacket - Poufy Sleeve
I drafted a custom pattern by tracing the sleeve piece from the original McCall's pattern. Then I drew horizontal lines across the pattern that were 2 inches apart from each other.
Next, I labeled each section as a number, cut them out, and re-taped them onto another piece of paper. I separated each piece about 1 ½ inches away from each other. Finally, I traced the pattern and cut it out. The result is on the next page.
![Page 17: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Jacket – Poufy Sleeve
Pattern for the upper part of the sleeve.

Jacket – Poufy SleevesNext, I laid out sleeves and cut a diamond shape. Then I sewed the sleeves together gathering the extra fabric while pinning it to the rest of the jacket.
Above: Gathering and pinning.Right: Finished result after sewing and sergering
![Page 19: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Jacket – Poufy SleevesI burned the raw edges of the diamond hole, in both the outer part and the lining.
Then I sewed on gold bias tape and sealed the jacket’s lining.
Above: Sewn on bias tape.Right: Tying a knot!

Jacket – Finishing TouchesI attempted to make poufy sleeves for the dress, but I wasn’t getting my desired look, so I created the illusion of under sleeves instead.
I did this by taking two pieces of the white fabric and cut them into a diamond shape.
![Page 21: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Jacket – Finishing Toucheso I made small pleats on these pieces, finished the raw
edges with a serger and hand sewed them onto the backside of the sleeve.
Above: Pinned down sleeve. Middle: Hand sewn seams are practically invisible from the right side. Only the bias tape seams are showing.Right: Finished product.

Jacket – Finishing Touches After making sure all my collars were crisp and my seams were finished, I completed the jacket by sewing two gold buttons to each side of the lower collar.

Dress – Patterning My pattern process here is similar to the sleeves of my jacket. I chose a blouse pattern that had the shape of what I wanted and traced the front piece onto paper. Then I drew lines that were 1 ½ inches apart across where the front would be so that there will be eight total pleats.
Above: Original pattern.Right: Drawing out the lines.
![Page 26: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dress – Patterning I cut each line out of the pattern and arranged them on another sheet of paper so each piece would be a half inch away from each other. After they were carefully arranged and neatly lined up. I taped it down and traced the pattern.
Above: Laying out the pieces. Right: Finished pattern.
![Page 27: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Dress – Patterning
For the skirt portion I cut out four large rectangles from the white crepe fabric and three rectangles of the same size of brown satin.
Left: All seams on the dress were finished with a serger.
![Page 28: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Dress – Pleats For the blouse portion, I cut out my pattern onto the fold. Then I folded ½ inch pleats from where I determined on the pattern and sewed the pleats down with top stich.
Above: Those are sharp Kuro!Right: Pinned pleats.
![Page 29: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dress - PleatsI lined up a white square with the blouse front and pleated the square just like I did with the blouse. After making sure the pleats lined up as best as I could, I sewed the pleats.
![Page 30: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dress – Piecing Together
I sewed the blouse together and cut my final satin piece by lining the pleated white piece for the size. Then I sewed the all the squares together so the lining and right sides would be the same size.
I gathered and pinned the skirt to the blouse. (This took the most time) Once I was satisfied with the positioning, I sewed the blouse and skirt together.
![Page 31: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Dress – Flounce For the flounce, I drew a circle where the radius was the same length as the dress. Then I adjusted the circle based on the patterns I found online.
Left: Completed pattern.Right: Folded pattern as a guide for later.
![Page 34: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Dress - FlounceNext, I cut out the pattern pieces on the satin, crepe, and tulle. The tulle is for a fuller and poufy look.
I lined them up and sewed them together. The outer circle was stitched and surged on the wrong side. Then I flipped it inside out and stitched the inner circle from the right side.

Dress - FlounceUsing the guide from my pattern, I folded the flounce and hand sewed the folds into place on the back.
Finally, I added three sew-on snaps to the back of the dress and flounce.
Top Left: Sew-on snaps back the flounce detachable.Bottom Left: how the flounce attached to dress. Above: Folded flounce.

Bustle - Materials
Patterns Used: American Duchess Historical Costumes.
Materials:Hoop skirt boning.
Satin (Was chosen to match the dress lining).
Bias tape
Ribbon

Bustle - Pattern
Following the Duchess’ guidelines, I drafted a pattern for the bustle.
I purposely made the bustle shorter and not as wide as most bustles because Violet’s skirt only needs a slight pouf in the back.
![Page 39: Violet Evergarden · 2020. 6. 19. · Violet Evergarden Cosplay by Kat McGowan 1. Reference Front: Reference Back: Reference Extras . Jacket – Materials and Patterns Patterns Used](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071512/6133195edfd10f4dd73adea9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Bustle - ConstructionOnce the pattern was cut out and sewn up, I sewed pockets into where I wanted the boning to be and slid them in.
Lastly, I sewed bias tape to the sides for tie-ons.
Above: Pockets for the hoop boning. Left: Tie-ons to hold bustle in place.

PetticoatI made a basic petticoat with three layers of tulle to go over my bustle and give more body to the dress.

Accessories - PendantThe pendant is Violet’s most precious possession, so I took great care with this piece.
I filled a pendant mold with UV resin and mixed resin coloring powder. Once it was dry, I glued it to the pendant backing.
Above: Casting the resin. Right: Finished product.

ParasolNext, I cut eight pieces of blue cotton and glued them onto the umbrella.
I made ruffles by making a long strip of blue fabric and sewed a long stich down the middle. To crunch the fabric into a ruffle, I carefully pulled to bobbin thread.
Above: The seams were finished with pinking shears.

ParasolOnce everything was secured, I glued bows that I made from ribbon onto the parasol.
Above: The bow ties were custom made by me. Right: This parasol is too pretty for words.

WigI used a tutorial on Arda wigs for guidance.
First, I used a straightening iron to shape “cat ears” at the top of the wig. I also used a comb to help with maintaining the shape.

WigI made two braids for both sides. I twisted the larger braid into a bun and pinned it down with bobby pins, then wrapped the smaller braid around the bun.
I sprayed hair glue to set and smooth down the fly-aways as best as I could.

Wig I trimmed the front sides and the bangs. The sides were trimmed to be slightly uneven using a razor comb.
The final touch was tying pretty red ribbons.
