Anime North season is almost upon us! I’m participating in a small reverse-gender Super Mario Brothers cosplay group. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun! I’m short and a little squishy so I’m being Mario, while my tall and thin friend is going to be Luigi. Maria and Lucy, anyone? One of her male friends is going to be Princess Toadstool / Peach for us.

I’ll be using the NewLook 6789 pattern to make Mario and Luigi jumper skirts. They’ll be made out of blue twill with giant buttons on the straps to emulate overalls. We didn’t just want to be girls in boys clothes – we will be completely girlified!

The length will probably end up being justa few inches above the knees.  Under the jumpers we’ll just have plain red and green tshirts.  We’ve found hats on ebay because neither of us are skilled hat makers.

I’ll be posting progress pictures as work gets done on this project! Yay for cosplay!
