Help needed finding a pattern
« on: January 11, 2010, 12:19:00 am »
I need some help findind a pattern that is as close as possible to the top of Shibuya Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maoh!

I've got fabric, I just need help finding a pattern for the top. I keep look onlinefor help, but I only seem to find pictures of cosplayers and stuff. xD I've got a pattern for the undershirt and have the pants already; all I need to help on the shirt. Any help would be much appreciated! I'll keep looking until then!

Try looking up Nehru Jacket. The collar you need might be a little taller than the pattern, but it's basically the same thing.

Make it yourself?
That's what I would do, and this looks like a fairly simple pattern.

You can make your own patterns fairly easily by tracing an existing garment. Making a mock-up is also very helpful, but for something like this it would probably be unnecessary.

Personally, I find making my own patterns a lot easier than trying to find one that will work for what I need and then altering it to fit properly. It's also cheaper.
Done: Blue Spirit (A:tLA), Sollux Captor (HS)
will do: Yukio (AnE), Robin (YJ), genderbent Nilus (MAOH), Dave and Signless (Homestuck); other things I'm forgetting

Awesome! Shibuya Yurri~~~ le gasp! :) ♥♥♥

Gakuran is the male school uniform, if I remember the right word...

I've searched for this once, but never found a pattern. The male civil war uniform is one that comes close: http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M4745.htm

minus the waist cinching part...

I do agree with the others; you might be better off trying to do it yourself. :) Best of luck to ya!
And so it begins...
