Azula
Azula was a challenging costume, both in terms of construction and portrayal. I usually don’t delve into villainous characters, so showcasing her descent into insanity was an exciting experiment with expression!
Azula was one of my first armor projects (aside from Ty Lee before her). All of the armor on my Azula costume is made from craft foam, primed with Mod Podge, and painted with acrylics. The outfit itself was rather straightforward; I used cotton sateen for both the base red top and pants, as well as the black tabard.
This wig was a cheap generic lacefront I found on eBay. I styled it by blindly hacking at the bangs with scissors then kicking it around my sewing room to truly capture that “rat’s nest” aesthetic.
