Thoughts

When I found this curtain at Goodwill, I thought it would be perfect for a Fall, woodsy look! I wanted to recreate a specific character and ultimately decided upon Little Red Riding Hood. The curtain was barely large enough to create both the cape and corset! Out of all my upcycled pieces, this one most closely combines cosplay with sustainability. It inspires me to keep finding creative ways to incorporate sustainability into my cosplays!
