Hope Cosplay Progress

So I wanted to make a post about what I have been doing for my Hope costume. I have been making this whole costume from scratch. Custom molded buckles and pins. Here are some of the progress pictures and brief description of each.

I started by matching the colors of the costume with the material texture that is in the game rendering.

The next thing I did was make a custom pattern that would work for the uniform.

I worked on the hardest parts first. The sleeves and the collar. First time doing something this detailed and trying to get it to look really clean.

I then attached the sleeves the the body and the collar to the body and worked on the front panel. This is as far as I am right now with the jacket.

The belt system I had to do a small sketch of all the pieces to figure out what all i needed and I planned out the actual size in relevance to my size.

The next few pictures are of the shoulder boomerang pouch. This kinda shows my thought process and how I made each piece.
