Loretta Cristiano Amodio

Gangsta

• Status: Retired

• Cost: ~$50

• Thrifted and worn in 2016

I'm very much all about comfortable, low-key cosplays on Sundays. Loretta is a great example. She's also just a really cool character; I joke that she's a teenage mob boss...but she is, so...

This costume was entirely thrifted, except for the neck bow, which I made. I already had a black box-pleated skirt, a white button-up shirt, and the socks, so I only had to buy the shoes and the wig, which is a Hestia in Platinum Blonde from Epic Cosplay Wigs. It was originally a curl wig, which I straightened into loose waves and cut. Loretta has a small braid at either side of her head, which both connect to a small half-ponytail. I did this all in a hotel room Saturday night of the con when I wasn't feeling well and just wanted to chill in my hotel room, and I'm really happy with how it turned out, even though you can't see it in front-facing pictures!
