Big Hero 6

Yesterday the boyfriend and I went shopping for cardigans for our Big Hero 6 cosplays. We realized that if we didn't go get them now, towards the end of winter, we were going to have a really hard time finding them come spring. So I found one at Urban Outfitters that was pretty close to Honey Lemon's, so I snatched that up real quick and it was on sale! Then last night we watched Big Hero 6, recently purchased on blue ray, and I am noticing that Honey's sweater isn't as mustard as I thought it was, and the cardigan I got was super mustard-y. Well, I am quite the perfectionist, I went hunting online and found a sweater that looks almost exactly like hers on Amazon. Oh the power of Amazon.
So I will be hiking my butt back to the mall, returning the sweater then getting the one off Amazon. I should have never doubted the power of Amazon.

I did find the perfect pink heart buttons to add to the cardigan, because Honey's has hearts. 
I really strive to have it matching as close as possible to the character I am cosplaying. 
The cardigan, shoes, tights, and socks are things I will naturally have to buy. I don't think anyone who cosplays makes their own tights or socks. (If you do, rock on man). But other than that I will be making her dress, headband, and possibly her purse. 
I really can't wait to put this cosplay all together. For now, I am concentrating more on the Evil Queen. I did go looking for things to make her necklace. But I am having a hard time finding the right materials, but alas I shall find them. 

Keep an eye out for more updates on the Evil Queen soon. Accessories and final details are up next!
