Cosplan: Nana 七 from Noragami

Today I am posting this blog that talks about the breakdown of a cosplay, making the cosplay etc. for the character that I plan on cosplaying very soon! I usually write this all down in my notes and in Cosplanner, but I figured that if I make a blog for everybody to view that some of you may find it useful! 

I plan to make a cosplay for the character "Nana" from the manga of Noragami! Most of you who have watched the Anime has probably never heard of her. That's because she is a new character that has recently debuted in the Manga. But don't worry! This blog will not contain any major spoilers!

Let's move on to the breakdown of the cosplay! Nana's outfit consists of:

• A sleeveless, ragged Kimono. (the "haori" type) 
• A ragged cape.
• rope/belt/cloth.
• Gauze. ( arms,legs & feet)

Art by: Curi0usbaka

The cosplay itself is pretty simple. The color scheme is unknown due to her being a character from the Manga. But I’ll assume that the color scheme consists of grungy whites and browns because she was born in the Shinto era 😅

I’ll just use the Mangacap that I had colored and the fanart by curi0usbaka as reference.

For the Kimono I will most likely be using the pattern that I had recently purchased for a shrine maiden outfit. 

As for the cape, I’ll probably just use my scouting legion one as reference haha.

I want to tea dye the majority of the cosplay so for the most part I will only be using white fabric. Here are some swatches that I test dyed:

Nana is a Shinki so she has no props. But I could probably make her box and use that as a prop. I could easily make it out of foam or a cardboard box. Or maybe even find a wood cube! I’d assume the colors are gray, it looks like it could be make from stone? As for the wig, I’ll be using a black one. It should be easy to find. I’ll most likely have to style it as well. She has really messy hair! 😝

Small Details:

The character “七” is written in red on her left cheek.

If I were to get lenses, I would get green.

She is barefooted, so I’ll need to make something to go under the gauze that is wrapped around her feet.

Her Kimono is slightly open so I may need to make a white tube top of a thing. Then maybe wrap it with gauze afterwards?
