I choose softer fabric colors this time. I hated my original Rain because I used too harsh blues and reds.
The whole thing was okay but I was also using skills I wanted to improve on so I opted to try again at a later time.
For version two, I relied on what other cosplayers did and really liked that some used a soft pink and blue instead of the harder colors. I did the same as well since I also really had the red and blue combination in general. Using two patterns, I made mock ups of both the dress and jacket then cut them down to the appropriate size. I kept taking in the mocks until I was comfortable with how it sat both on the mannequin and myself before I undid all the work and used the mocks as patterns for the fabric. I forgot to account that scuba fabric is really stretchy and the type I had was thick so once I had completed the dress, it was a bit too big on me. I had to take it in a bit and even now, I have to take it in by an inch because it’s still a bit too big. I attached a working zipper to the front and finished it off.

I was again strapped for time. During the construction of Rain, I had moved apartments, gotten a new job and suddenly it was time for PCC. The only other thing left to do was make the collar and the pouch. I made the pouch using faux white leather and again alternated it so that the only thing it could honestly hold was my phone and business cards. I used a magnet to keep the pouch snapped closed at all times. Finally, I sloppily did the neck piece by creating it out of worbla. I have plans to re-do the piece since it’s pretty awful but overall, I’m incredibly happy with my remake of Rain!
