In the end, the costume turned out to be quite the statement piece to wear to cons after 2019.

Most of my accessories are store-bought and altered, though I did have fun making my dagger out of cereal boxes and metallic tape. I might do things differently if I were to do it again, but that design is also just a pin to translate to reality. The dress and hood (and sleeves) were designed and made by me.

I used the pattern from Lost Wax which was such a big help and time-saver over trying to design it myself. The mask is made from craft foam and some dollar-store sunglasses. In theory we were going to have a whole Darkest Dungeon cosplay crew, and Kurumasha made a Hellion, but because life is hard (and then the pandemic) I think in the end it's just the two of us. Obviously, I did eventually get her finished though. Unfortunately it was more work than expected (story of my life) and I missed the deadline.

I chose to recreate this skin instead of one of the default outfits because I wanted to use it to enter the Single Pattern Contest at Costume-Con, and this silhouette absolutely worked. Then in February of 2019 I needed a mask for a party so my 'Slothplay' for the month was a plague doctor mask… which then evolved into this costume.

I was first introduced to Darkest Dungeon though Dan's Twitch channel, where (of course) the characters got named after friends and I had a Plague Doctor named after me.
