This is my Cinder Fall cosplay. Cinder is one of the main villains in RWBY, an international hit from Rooster Teeth. Her entire backstory is still shrouded in mystery after 2 series but she is undoubtedly the most powerful of Ruby’s foes. Cinder primarily wields fire magic, as well as mastering the manipulation of dust.
Cinder’s red dress is mostly satin. Rather than finish the pattern with fabric I decided to try to give the gold a more metallic effect. I used a gold foil base and nail varnish to create a template which I fixed to the fabric using glue. I used a temporary tattoo sheet to print and transfer the back tattoo. I made this cosplay for MCM May 2015 and while I wasn’t initially confident about it, it photographs really well.
