Introduction:
Hi, I'm Sara, admin of this website, I live in
the USA, I started it back in 2006,
it's an official fan site and we recently got credited in the end of the new
Tomb Raider game.
I am a cosplayer, I have been for 7 years now, I started with Lara Croft, I did
not know this would lead to such a huge love for the hobby, Now i can't go a few
days without working on a costume. I am planning more costumes, you can keep up
with them on my official facebook page. So this is me... If you have any
questions don't be shy, send a message below :)

Tomb Raider 2013
(Costume Made and Photographed 2013)
|
- Why I chose this costume:
Everyone knows Lara
is my hero, I have loved her since discovering Angel Of Darkness, and ever since
then, I really could not imagine her not being part of my every day life, i mean
i run this site for god's sake haha!
As for this costume, I chose it because it was the reboot costume, I love the
cargo pants and tank tops, it looks like what any explorer / researcher would
wear while on an expedition, I went for battle hardened Lara, because she
is most like the lara we all know towards the end of the game, and i made the
competition bow and haven't seen any other cosplayer do it before , so i was the
first to cosplay with a home made competition bow.
I had some help from my friend Kristen with the quiver, pouches and rope.
- Materials and cost:
I bought some stuff from Kristen for around 50
dollars, but the rest I made myself and bought from ebay, i used pleather for
the belt, sewed cargo pockets on my pants, made my bow and axe out of foam board
and used PVC pipe to fashion a silencer for my pistol. I would say overall this
cost me around 100 dollars. |

Tomb Raider Underworld
(Costume
Made and Photographed 2009) |
- Why I chose this costume:
This costume was amazing to me in terms of complexity, Lara's past costumes
were very simple, this one had so many details in the belt and holsters, the
backpack alone and darn near impossible to replicate, I just loved it!, the
shirt and shots had these patterns on them too, just beautiful detail!
I was super happy with the fit because it made me feel really comfortable, I
feel like i have a curvy body and the clothes were very flattering,
especially love the front fastened backpack strap.
- Materials and cost:
I bought the shirt and shorts, but i already had the straps
and backpack, then all i had to do was take apart an old back and recycle
the leather from it, to make the triangular piece on the backpack itself.
The pistols are real life size airsofts, that cost me 60
dollars (I think? It was so long ago), and already owned the boots, so total
cost was around 80 Dollars. |

Tomb Raider Underworld Wetsuit
(Costume
Made and Photographed 2009 and 2013)
|
- Why I chose this costume:
I chose this costume because my mother's house was just by a lake
and i could not resist a water photoshoot! I picked this particular wetsuit
because i was broke and it was the easiest to replicate, it is actually a long
sleeved shirt with yellow ribbon on it that i sewed on. Underworld had just
come out and i thought it was perfect timing when i visited my mom
- Materials and cost:
In the location shoot you can see i used the backpack and belt
from the standard underworld outfit, but further below in the recent photos i
actually made the appropriate backpack and holsters, those were made from
remenants of old backpacks and pleather i bought, soda cans for the oxygen
tanks, and the suit itself was made out of a catsuit fromwww.halloweencostumes.com.
So all in all the first suit cost me 20 dollars and the new one
cost around 50 dollars. |

Tomb Raider Underworld Camo Swimsuit
(Costume Made and
Photographed 2012) |
- Why I chose this costume:
Ok, this one is really not
exactly my usual choice in costumes, i always pick the more conservative yet
sexy costumes, I chose this because i had JUST lost 35lbs and i was feeling
really great, but was still scared, So i needed to cosplay something to prove to
myself that i can.
I chose Lara's XBox camo swim suit because it is Lara , and i had the underworld
accessories and bought the swimsuit for 10 dollars from an army surplus store.
- Materials and cost:
I did not
make the swimsuiit, It was bought from a store for 10 dollars

(Costume

- Why I chose this costume:
Wow this brings back

version of the original game and i thought i would cosplay it to celebrate the
launch
- Materials and cost:
I made my belt and
holsters from recycled backpack straps, i cut my brown jeans into short shorts,

Tomb Raider Legend
(Costume
Made and Photographed 2012) |
- Why I chose this costume:
I decided to do this
costume because i had to make a tutorial about the tomb raider legend top, I did
this costume back in 2006 but i was never happy with how they turned out, so i
redid it for the tutorial and remade my belt and holsters, i already had the
guns and the backpack is from ebay, i bought it in 2008 back before i was
serious about making my own stuff.
- Materials and cost:
The shirt was
actually white cotton long sleeved then i hemmed the sleeves, dyed it tan and
sewed the white triangle on it. and bought the shorts and backpack long ago ,
everything else i had, so total cost was about 30 dollars |

Tomb Raider Legend Snowsuit
(Costume
Made and Photographed 2014) |
- Why I chose this costume:
I absoltely adore Tomb
Raider Legend, and i just about lost my mind when i saw all 33 unlockable
outfits, it's like playing badass barbie dress up, so i am trying to do all of
them, This one was an accident , because i bought the suit for another
character, Miranda Lawson from Mass Effect 2 and 3, but i found a company that
sells the fabris with the pattern already on it, so then i had this suit and
nothing to do with it, so i decided to do tthis costume
- Materials and cost:
I already had my
backpack, belt , holsters, guns and boots, I bought the suit for 12.99 from
Ebay, that was it. |

Tomb Raider Classic Catsuit
(Costume
Made and Photographed 2013) |
- Why I chose this costume:
My favourite level
out of Tomb Raider Chronicles is the London level, and this outfit was worn in
that game, so as soon as i could , i put the catsuit together and took
some exact replicas of the official renders
- Materials and cost:
This catsuit is
actually not a catsuit, It's made of two pieces, a leotard and leggings, My
friend Xavietta made me the belt a long time ago, and i made the backpack
myself, total cost around 50 dollars |

The Dark Knight Rises Catwoman
.jpg)
- Why I chose this costume
Selina Kyle to me is
an amazing character, The way she is portrayed in TDKR is very intriguing,
her outfit is conservative yet unbelievably sexy, so it was right up
my alley, I loved the movie, I would have cosplayed batman, but i didn't
feel like cross-playing, next logical step, do selina kyle, The biggest
reason though, was the head piece, i just about lost my mind when i saw that
the tactical goggles went up and made the shape of cat ears, this cosplay
HAD to happen after that
- Materials and cost
Believe it or
not the suit is a leotard and leggings, the boots were from Ebay, the gloves
also, the headpiece was by Aleena Averly and my utility belt was made from a
piece of pleather and heat shaped and carved pieces of styrofoam, that's
pretty much it, the whole thing cost me 80 dollars

Sweetpea - Sucker Punch
- Why I chose this costume
Sweetpea is not
only a strong female character who is an amazing leader and fighter, she is
a big sister who loves her little sister, and i can relate to her immensely
in that aspect, so i had to attempt her outfit.
- Materials and cost
The coat that i bought was awful, i had to inlay the
inner side with pleather to weigh it down as it was all curly, the side
armor was made by me from cardboard and hot glue, i bought the stockings and
attached the ammo straps to them, the gloves were heavily modified too, and
i made the bra piece out of fimo other than that it was just a black bra.
Total cost was about 70 dollars

Caprica 6 - BattleStar Galactica
- Why I chose this costume
Caprica 6 although
started out as a villan, eventually i grew to love her and feel for her, i fell
in love with her humanity even though she was a cylon, and let's just face it,
this was a challenge as i am a brunette and not stick thin like Tricia Helfer,
so i needed to do this to prove i could to myself
- Materials and cost
This outfit was one of the easiest i ever
accomplished. I modified a red dress that was roughly the same cut as hers, then
made my jewelry out of FIMO clay such as the earrings , the bracelet, bought the
wig and shoes total cost was 30 dollars

Excella Gionne - Resident Evil
- Why I chose this costume
Excella is a
complicated character, she's the kind you love and hate at the same time,
she spends most of her time being wesker's lap dog, but at the same time, I
love how strong and independent she is, if you read her bio in the game, she
is also absolutely brilliant. intelligent and accomplished a lot. I
had to cosplay her, for picking my first villain, i think i did pretty well.
- Materials and cost
This was during my first years of
cosplay so i bought my bracelet, earrings and belt, but i also bought fabric
and made that dress from scratch, total cost was about 60 dollars

- Why I chose this costume

felt like her death was untimely in the movie, i needed to get it out of my
sysrtem
- Materials and cost
The top i owned but modified, same
with the cargo pants, and all i had to do was buy the bullets and those were
only 10 dollars so it was not an expensive costume at all

Queen Gorgo - 300
- Why I chose this costume
The main reason why i cosplayed Queen Gorgo is because i loved the
relationship between her and her husband, i mean to be the kind of amazing
woman to hold on to a man like that, and have him respect and adore you so
much, you have to be an incredible woman. so i really felt like she was a
worthy character
- Materials and cost
This was a cheap costume and only
needed material for the dress, twine to create sections and then a jewelry
piece for the shoulder total cost was around 5 dollars
