I got to shoot my Jessica Rabbit at Edifice Studio in Manila, Philippines, with Jay Tablante and his full team.

(I should note that Jay's team decided to change the color of the dress digitally from fuchia to red for this image)

Costume construction thoughts:
Jessica Rabbit has always been one of the most mesmerizing cartoon characters to me - as a kid she made me watch the movie over and over again, and as a cosplayer, she was always a huge challenge for me to portrait. I've been collecting materials for her for almost 2 years, and wanted to make this costume to the best to my abilities.

The shape is not photoshopped, just clever cosplay engineering.
I drafted & made a custom corset to create the extreme shape and then made the dress to fit over it. I engineered 2 Victoria's Secret Miraculous bras into the corset, which is steel boned coutil. The extreme illusion is created by pulling in the waist, padding the top and wearing a booty bump hahaha.
The dress itself is made from a spandex sequin fabric, and 1000+ S20 Swarovski crystals are glued on the fabric for
extra bling, tedious time consuming handywork with help from Mary Cahela. I specifically chose pink instead of red for the dress because in the movie her famous singing scene features a pink dress. I also like the color combo: orange hair/pink dress/purple gloves more than the red dress which can sometimes come across as "lady of the night" in certain lighting. Pink makes the entire outfit look more cartoon-y!
Here is a reference image of Jessica in the pink dress.
Here is a youtube video of Jessica in the pink dress doing her famous stage performance from the movie.
Here is a work in progress collage of my Jessica Rabbit dress.

I adore my wig which is a Matilda from Arda Wigs! Styled with help from Ara Fernando!

I also went with the route of cartoon makeup, covering up my eyebrows and painting over them. It was a risky choice for makeup, and since Dragoncon I got my share of comments about going drag lol, but when I decided to portray such an iconic character as Jessica Rabbit, I didn't want to fall short of the makeup when everything else was so exaggerated.

Lovely pictures too bad you don't have one with you playing patty cake.

Amazing dress, but I have to ask, how much padding was put in the breasts?? Or did you just shape it to your body?

~Kuro-nan Apr 15, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

awesome! You totally nailed this cosplay!! *u*

wow that's extremely impressive, i loved reading about how you managed to make this amazing costume hahaha. cause when i first looked at it, i was like.... "is this photoshopped?? this HAS to be photoshopped... but it looks so REAL" and it IS real.
now THAT is impressive, you'd think she'd be almost IMPOSSIBLE to cosplay with her shape but you pull it off like no other!
amazing.

Ahmahgawd I stared at this for at least 20 minuets saying "Nobody has breasts THAT big that are real!"
Took me 20 minuets before I started reading the whole description. -feels silly-
Being a large DDD-cup with my mom being at an even E-cup I delve into the world of breasts and try to tell the real from the fake whenever I can. Excellent job! I was just about to start believing they might actually be real. xD Very good indeed.

How is it that you got the look down so perfectly... I mean the tiny waist the big bust everything...

I been wanting to pull the cosplay off but I haven't been able to due to my disproportionate bod
