Pattern designer for your cosplay and LARP costumes
I'm here to give you a hand with your costumes so you can be super proud of your next creations!
I've always been drawn to arts and handcrafting. On top of making costumes since 1998, I trained in fashion design and presentation design, then built a career as a custom clothing designer, milliner for Cirque du Soleil, and costumer on film sets!
I finally concluded that I know a thing or two about costumes.
For a while, I dedicated myself to creating high-end costumes for clients who were into pop culture, anime, sci-fi, fantasy, video games, comic books, and more. By the way, if you want to see some of my creations over the years, you can check out my portfolio.
Except I also wanted to give a hand to the DIY cosplay community.
Are you a beginner cosplayer?
My site is here to help you make your costumes yourself. In the shop, you'll find all kinds of sewing patterns, 3D printing files, cut files and embroidery files. In the RESOURCES section, you can read my tips to get ready to make your costume, to build your creation, or simply to get inspired between projects. Plus, I have tutorial guides on all kinds of techniques: leather, tablet weaving, and more. And I've got plenty more in the works!
You too can make costumes and accessories that look awesome! You can even show me your creations by tagging me @julie.chantal on Instagram.
4 costume universes to dive into
LARP
I have been working in the world of LARP for a very long time! My brother was LARPing at a very young age and he even had his own gathering place in the 90s. My first costume commissions were for him and his friends when I was still a teenager. It's a universe that I really like.
Star Wars
Star Wars fans are truly passionate! It's also a universe with a beautiful aesthetic, with a wide range of styles. The costumes in this universe range from very simple to very complex. A beautiful playground for cosplay!
Vox Machina
I created the Vox Machina collection mostly for my own pleasure. I absolutely loved the series and I love its aesthetic! Since it's a D&D-inspired series, the universe sits halfway between cosplay and LARP, and that really speaks to me.
Fallout
Post-apocalyptic, retro-futuristic, radioactive critters and a touch of kitsch: I love everything about Fallout. If that speaks to you too, you'll love the products I have for you.
My favorite character?
Phew! Difficult to choose! But these days I choose Percy, from Legend of Vox Machina for his badass look and his tinkerer side! 🤓
My spirit animal is the octopus
Did you know that the octopus's brain is distributed throughout its tentacles?
Each one has its own brain. This is what allows it to do a lot of things at the same time.
Did you know that some octopuses can change color and even shape?
So they can mimic other marine animals, or even corals or shells.
Did you know that the octopus is the most intelligent invertebrate?
It uses tools, builds things, and solves problems.
Definitely. The octopus is the cosplayer of the deep sea. Right?
