Before vs After ✨🙆🏼‍♀️

One of my favorite parts of cosplay making is that nothing ever has to be “done.” I first embroidered my @tebasakizo.bsky.social Violetta in 2024, and this year I gave it a glow up for AnimeNYC 2025!

Always love reminding myself: our costumes can keep growing as we grow! 🌸✨
