Taako Taaco (The Adventure Zone)

Debuted: Miyakocon February 2019

Since the self proclaimed “idiot” wizard, Taako, does not have a canon design according to the creators – I decided to create something of my own design for him. The final outfit was inspired by ouji/lolita style, 17th century fashion and general foppery.

I patterned and constructed the vest, pants, jacket, cape, hat and bracer from scratch. The vest and pants were made with a dark blue corduroy and lined with constellation quilting fabric that had glow-in-the-dark stars and finished with gold star buttons. The reversible coat was made with embossed navy upholstery fabric on the outside and lined with red flannel. The half cape was constructed in a gold upholstery fabric, trimmed with black ribbon and lined with more of the red flannel and secured with gold cord. The hat was made with blue felt and lined with more of the constellation quilting fabric.

The shirt, tights and boots were borrowed from my own lolita wardrobe. The umbrella was purchased. Elf ears are from Aradani Studios.
