FF7 Cosplay Guide: How to Make Tifa’s Advent Children Outfit

Tifa Lockhart is a fan favorite of the Final Fantasy series. This tutorial will show you how to cosplay in her Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children outfit. All cosplays are made with the intention of keeping costs low and maximizing comfort, since a majority of cosplays are worn during crowded conventions.

Materials:

• 2 to 3 yds. of black material of your choice. Costume leather would be the most accurate material, but since it is so costly and traps heat, I chose woven cotton.
• A zipper that will be the length of your top. I chose a zipper that was 9 inches long since that is where I wanted the length to sit.
• Three large, black buttons.
• Black thread.
• Enough elastic to sew a waistband.
