Xena, The Warrior Princess

"In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle. The power...the passion...the danger. Her courage will change the world."

Xena was my favorite TV show when I was a kid. I wanted to make a Xena cosplay for a long time, but I did not know how to do it.
I participated in this year's Ropecon worbla workshop, where I got some tips on how to make a chest armor. So, this is my very first worbla armor!
Skirt, corset and shoes are made of genuine leather. Armory is made of worbla, it is painted with acrylic paint. The sword and the chakram is made of wood and worbla. The scabbard has been made of gym mattress, so it's lightweight to carry.
I bought some old leather jackets from the flea markets, which the clothes were made.
This project took a lot of time and money, and it was definitely worth it. I loved to make this wonderful project. It is not perfect, but I managed to overcome the expectations.

So, Why I like Xena so much?
First, Xena is a human being. No super hero shit, where heroes arrive from outer space and possess supernatural talents.
Xena knows her own worth and doesn’t compare herself to others. Xena has many skills, she knows how to solve situations well.
Her fighting skills are unparalleled. She does well without men.
Xena is my idol :)

While making this project, I watched all the Xena productions through^^

The leather corset without the armor. I made the patterns of course by myself.
