Emma loves to dress up and role-play, so when the opportunity came up to visit Oz Comic-con recently, I was really happy because I knew seeing all the cosplay would be really exciting for her.<\/p>\n

I offered to make her whatever costume she wanted and after a some deliberation she chose to be Raven from Teen Titans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t heard of Raven<\/strong> I’ll give you a little rundown. Raven is a comic book character from the DC Universe. She is a half demon and extremely powerful with magical psychic and telekinetic powers as well as the ability to manipulate energy, emotion and shadows.<\/p>\n

Emma likes her because she is mysterious, and is also quite a sassy character in Teen Titans GO! where she lives in the Titans Tower with her buddies, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Robin and Starfire.<\/p>\n

I must admit to being secretly pleased because the only major sewing on my part was making a cloak, and with only half a day available to get the Raven costume made, the simpler the cosplay, the better.<\/p>\n

I didn’t use any patterns for the cloak and sort of improvised as I went, so I haven’t included any exact measurements, more the method which can be adapted to anybody, child or adult.<\/p>\n

Lots of cosplay characters wear cloaks, so this costume can be adapted to suit your needs.<\/p>\n

Here is a picture of Raven so you can see how I’ve interpreted the Raven costume.<\/p>\n

Raven wears a cloak with a pointy hood, a black leotard (her skin is grey) and purple boots.
\nHer cloak wraps fully around her body and hangs straight down rather than flaring out like a cape.
\nRaven has a red stone brooch with gold trim and similar stones on each cuff and on her belt.<\/p>\n

I didn’t fancy sewing a black leotard so I bought a black long sleeve top and sports skirt instead, Emma was fine with the slight change when I explained how hard leotards are to go to the bathroom in!<\/p>\n
