This Kitty Pryde cosplay from Marvel comics by @Stardarlingcos is super!
Kitty Pryde is a member of the X-Men. She is a young Jewish woman with the ability to phase through solid objects. Kitty also has a small dragon-like companion named Lockheed.

@Stardarlingcos made the yellow pieces of this costume. It took four tries to get the gloves right!
However, the most impressive part is Lockheed. He was made using spandex, wire, polyfill, and batting. They even made illuminated eyes for him by casting resin and soldering LEDs.
"There's something so rewarding about taking a pile of raw materials and turning it into a work of art."

Jyn Erso
Jyn Erso is a human soldier and member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic in Rogue One. She grew up a rebellious and rambunctious child, but she's always had a clear sense of right and wrong. Her determination to fight for what she believes in is admirable.
@Stardarlingcos feels a deep connection with Jyn Erso.
"To create a design from concept to wearable art is really special. I cried the first time I put it all on together. It's pure love."
She made this costume including the vest, belt, and headpiece. @Stardarlingcos used utility fabrics and ten yards of ripstop nylon. Additionally, she added 2,000 rhinestones to the galaxy print lining as a nod to Jyn's nickname, "Stardust."
"My favorite part of the costume, however, are the six tiny movie quotes hidden throughout. I picked one iconic quote from each main character and embroidered them in Aurebesh, the written language of Star Wars, in inconspicuous locations to complete my love letter to Rogue One."

Rin Tohsaka
Rin Tohsaka is a main heroine in the Fate franchise. She is the Master of Archer in the fifth Holy Grail War. She is an upstanding student at school, but lets down her guard becoming loud, selfish, and bossy in her private life. Her competitive and resourceful nature leads her to believe she has an unappealing personality.
@Stardarlingcos has cosplay 10 different versions of Rin. This is Rin's Street Choco maid outfit and @Stardarlingcos won her first Craftsmanship Best in Show with it in 2018.
How is it made?
This costume includes many small details. It features rhinestones, lace, boot and wig modifications, as well as resin casting. The skirt is made of eight layers of glitter net and it's finished with an invisible zipper. The red sequins are paired with the black velvet to create a luxurious feel. The apron is even built into the skirt, so there's no shifting. The sparkles truly make the outfit and made it a fun project for @Stardarlingcos.
