I think you can, but we’re talking a lot of expensive fabrics/leather/metal, interfacing, boning, foundation garments. You’d need to custom build the girdle and then drape the coat over it. That is…it’d need to be clothing, not costume.
And if you’re spending the same amount of money and effort you would on a handsewn Bespoke Suit or an 18th century gown or a armor set…why not just make that instead?
I’m not sure. I think the outfit fundamentally just comes across as campy when you bring it to reality, which is a problem when you’re trying to project a kind of sinister alien living-god aura that you can’t quite understand.
It is the version 2 of this image, which had to be changed into a shitty cosplayer due to copyright complaints about using official sephiroth art.
Can any sephiroth cosplay be anything but shitty? His character design looks like it would look horrible irl no matter what.
I think it’s mainly the armoured trenchcoat, there are some topless versions of him that look decent.
Kinda has a Witcher vibe to him.
