Geralt of Rivia & Yennefer of Vengerberg Costume

Inspiration for this costume came from our favorite set of books/games and now a Netflix show, The Witcher! For those who aren’t familiar, Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, one of the last of his kind, whose body was mutated long ago during the Trial of the Grasses to make him the ultimate monster-fighter. He is known for his cat-like reflexes (and eyes!) and white hair. Yennefer of Vengerberg is a powerful sorceress (known for her raven hair and violet eyes) who crosses paths with Geralt and they become inseparable, bound by destiny to be together.

We both worked hard on putting our costumes together, and I customized mine to match Yennefer’s alternate look from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I created her blouse by sewing a feather trim around the top, created the skirt by cutting an old one I had and sewing suede trim on the edges, learned some leather working skills/how to set rivets and made her leg wraps/boot covers, and even created her knee armor caps by utilizing cosplay foam, armor paint, and hand-painting the floral design on them! She also has arm wraps with runes on them, which I created with black ribbon and a metallic silver paint pen. To complete the look, we both bought special contacts to match the characters. We had a lot of fun with this look!

Hope you guys enjoy :)
