I made this for sakuracon 2008, sorry for the delay =P

I dont think anyone really realised the attention to detail that went into this, the jumpsuit is patterned exactly after the model from the game, all the seams, ageing, tears etc. are identical.
I also embroidered the apperture logos on the 2 shirts (worn by [link] and [link])

photos by and (c) to eurobeat king

For reference on how this costume was made check out:
full (albeit brief) costume tutorial: [link]

How did you do the long-fall boots/frames? I'm thinking of cosplaying Chell myself. Do those support your weight or were you on your toes the whole time? You look great though!!! Like the real deal!!

I made them out of the tips of old skis (and craft foam and stuff.) If you want more details, I linked to the tutorial I wrote about how I made the costume in the artist's comments, and let me know if there's anything missing there :)
They did not support my weight, I was walking on tip toe the whole convention! the worst part was actually not being able to bend my knees because of the harnesses under the jumpsuit that held the whole thing in place :P
Thanks very much!

Just curious, in your costume tutorial you mention that you used four yards of fabric. Do you happen to know what the width of the fabric that you used was?

I wish I could tell you! I made the costume several years ago and any remnants of fabric I have left are in another state at my parent's house . I'm sorry, that would have been smart of me to include in the tutorial :P

It was a little heavy, not too bad since it's made of mostly plastic and foam.

DAMN good job! I just have one question: with her white undershirt that says Aperture laboratories, is there a design on the back of it like the orange jumpsuit? or is it blank? i'm trying to make the white undershirt LOL
