Hiii! Currently making Howard's costume, and I'm looking for more info on how the skirt closes AND the skirt pattern. Any help would be SO appreciated!
Hey! I have this post about some of the construction and layers.
As far as the closure goes, it’s basically an extended tab. Here’s Cassie Silva’s both open and closed:
Tumblr media
And then the closure method goes on the overlapped section. The closure method has varied between Velcro and snaps, but you could also try magnets. (They also previously had a different closure set up using zippers for a bit, but I would not recommend it)
If you use magnets or Velcro make sure to get a stronger strength, and/or match the strength to the materials and construction you’re using. And snaps will cause stress to the vinyl so if you do use them I’d suggest using the black base as discussed below.
And this isn’t necessary, but for my own cosplay I’m planning to do either Velcro or multiple rows of snaps just to give myself some sizing range which Six has often done as well.
You can see two different placements of snaps used here:
Tumblr media
Left is UK make, with a single snap in the middle of the waistband. Right is US make (the early 2022 style) with two black snaps on either side of the trim. This is one way the US has accommodated for potential minor fluctuations in waist measurement, like I mentioned above.
Also, note that while the black trim continues the studs do not - this is so they don’t get in the way of the closure or make things uneven or bumpy.
You also may wonder how Cassie’s skirt is staying up even though it’s not closed - there are snaps on the inside lining of the waistband that correlate and snap into snaps on the back and side of the leotard.
————————
The other things that are worthy of note are exactly where the closure is located and the backing of the closure. Here’s a bunch of examples of how that’s varied:
Tumblr media
The exact placement of the closure has differed. Early iterations included the mic holster attached on top of the waistband tab (shown on Vicki Manser’s UKT costume, top far left) and the waistband closing in the front (shown on Didi Romero’s ANAT costume, bottom far left). But the current-and-definitely-best way is to have the mic holster on the main case, with the waistband tab attaching over in a way that nestles it right next to the holster. That keeps seams minimal and everything nice and stable. You can see that current system on the three furthest right photos on each row.
Finally, the base color. Originally the tabs on both sides would be a continuation of the rest of the waistband materials, just the same pink vinyl and trim (but again missing the studs as noted above). More recently they have switched to a pure black base on the space where the tab overlaps, most likely to use a more stable/strong material. It’s easiest to see that difference on the bottom row - compare the continuation of pink on both sides of Didi’s closure (far bottom left) versus the black gap that can be seen on Aline Mayagoitia, Abigail Sparrow’s CAN, and Audrey Fisher (2L-R, bottom row).
————————
For patterning I’ll refer you to @lightleckrereins, who has already been working on a post about that after just recently making her own.
Hopefully that’s helpful! If you need any clarification or have further questions, feel free to drop me another ask.

highlight of the whole show for me forever: when race and specs were moving the chairs from the front of the stage at the end of king of new york, race pointed at me with wide eyes and exclaimed “hey, it’s katty!” specs replied, “but i thought she was—“ and spun around looking between me and katherine onstage while race did the same. race wailed “i’m so confused!” as they both ran off.

Kitty. Kinda.
Probably closer to the unwritten Modren_Day!AU than the dressed down version from “Transit Point” I was aiming for; also, it'd taken me months to hunt down a curvy body at a reasonable price, and now I have no idea where all the curves went , but she’s still  really cute, so, here.

Had a costume construction question. I've noticed that in fittings for and construction of Howard's skirt (and I believe Boleyn, but I may be confusing it for something else entirely), the waistband appears to be, what I think is, cotton webbing. Do you know what material it is? If you do, is this what the vinyl is placed on top of or is it replaced by the vinyl?
It’s interfacing! It’s a material that’s used on the inside of many clothes (among other projects) to add more shape and stability as needed. You’ll often find it in necklines or waistbands to help them lay flat and maintain shape/quality as areas with a lot of stress out on them. Definitely necessary to include when making Six cosplays. There are some different types in terms of application and weight; the type that's best to use will be dependent on what materials you're using for your cosplay. For more information on all that, there’s this really good post, and if you have further questions about a specific costume/cosplay or material you can always send me another ask or DM @sixcostumerefs.
It should be used in your actual cosplay, between your lining material and your external materials. So if you’re working on Howard, your waistband from inner to outer layers should be lining->interfacing->externally facing base*->velcro for closure where required->pink vinyl. Your skirt would be lining->interfacing with boning->buckram**->pink vinyl->cutouts panel.
*Six has started using a black for that base, but they’ve just used more pink vinyl in the past:
Tumblr media
(Look at the skirt closures/mic holsters - Abigail Sparrow’s Breakaway 3.0 skirt was pink all around, while Aline Mayagoitia has a plain black base between the closure and mic holster) **Buckram is a stiffened fabric used to give more shape and structure. Very often used in theatre and dance costumes and is one of my favorite materials to work with. More info here. It's very necessary for Aragon, Boleyn, and Howard skirts and is a big part of what helps them keep their shape. For best use it should go between the boning layer and vinyl layer(s), like I spelled out above for Howard.
