Hello everyone! I decided to start making videos about how I made some of my cosplays so I will remember what I did wrong and right for every project HAHAHAHAHAHAA

In this video you will see how I sew Maomao hanfu from The Apothecary Diaries anime. This is my first time trying to sew anything historically accurate so for those of you that know more details about Chinese hanfu do let me know if there's anything right or wrong that I did in the video!

    I think the dye failure was because your satin is not a natural fiber. You might have to use the Rit dye instead which can be used to dye polyester
  • @ooohPau
    I did some research on (semi) accurate historical clothing and since Maomao is technically of lower class, she should be wearing garments made of natural fiber like cotton (silks were for the rich people lol) but you still did a good job! Looking forward to more projects from you~
  • @mary_nyan
    Honestly, even if it's not the right color, that fabric is still gorgeous (both in pattern and color); and the entire cosplay comes together very nicely :D Very fun video too!
  • @cxlev01
    your perseverance is crazy, love that
  • @nanad1415
    The colour feels more natural so i really like ittt🫶🏻
  • I love how your face the whole time is like: why am I here...? What am I even doing...? Why do I do this to myself....?
  • Oh, the fabric is gorgeous! And the struggle with lining the sleeves is very relatable, I do it wrong every time XD
  • @Cherry-ie5yi
    This was a rly good video! I love watching ppl’s cosplay making
  • @sibit3608
    your cosplay came out great! even with the parts you dont like i still think it looks nice
  • @Bartagames
    Oh girl you made me laugh sooo much xD In my opinion you don't need to be that accurate with the original character! Your color is wayyy prettier than the original Mao Mao Hanfu <3 Keep going, I am feeling your little mental breakdowns while sewing, you're not alone HAHAHAHA
  • @KyotaroVT
    Bro I thought for sure you were this huge channel that I just hadnt come across yet. Your editing is great, and youre SO fun to watch! I love hearing about the process and how you decided things ect. ect. Please keep up the great work!
  • @Brenilla
    The Moment you brought out the dye i was hoping you got teh right one for the fabric... Alas it was not DX. So many projects and people have made the same error. Even if the color was not show accurate i think it was well and good in representing the character! great job!
  • @saraquinn7364
    I hope your video blows up! It was very entertaining! Thank you for making my Sunday better :D
  • @skyskyyskye
