Pattern designer for cosplay and LARP costumes
I'm here to give you a hand with your costumes so that you can be super proud of your next creations!
I have always been attracted to the arts and manual work. In addition to making costumes since 1998, I studied fashion design and presentation design, I had a career as a custom clothing designer, hat maker for Cirque du Soleil, and costume designer on sets shooting!
I kind feel like I know costumes. Don't you think?
For a time, I devoted myself to creating high-end costumes for clients who were into pop culture, anime, sci-fi, fantasy, video games, comic books and others. By the way, if you want to see some of my creations over the years, you can check out my portfolio .
The only thing, I also wanted to give a helping hand to the community of DIY cosplayers.
Are you a beginner cosplayer?
My website is here to help you make your own costumes. In the shop, you can get all kinds of sewing patterns, cut files and 3D printing files. In the Learning section, you can read my professional tips and tricks for making costume. Plus, I have some tutorial guides coming up. I can’t wait to tell you more about it!
You too can make amazing costumes and accessories! You can even show me your creations by tagging me @julie.chantal on Instagram.
3 worlds of costumes to get 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 above all to please myself. I absolutely loved the series and I love its aesthetic! The fact that it's a series inspired by D&D makes the universe halfway between cosplay and larp, and I love that.
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! 🤓
Mon animal total, c’est la pieuvre
Savais-tu que le cerveau de la pieuvre est réparti à travers ses tentacules?
Chacune d'entre elles a un peu comme son propre cerveau. C’est ce qui lui permet de faire un tas de trucs en même temps.
Savais-tu que certaines pieuvres peuvent changer de couleurs et même de forme?
Elles peuvent donc imiter d’autres animaux marins, ou même des coraux ou des coquillages.
Savais-tu que la pieuvre est l’invertébré le plus intelligent?
Elle utilise des outils, construit des trucs et résout des problèmes.
Clairement. La pieuvre est le cosplayeur des fonds marins. Right?
