The Shirt.

Once you have your white dress shirt you will need to remove the upper collar in order
to get the desired effect of Grell’s own shirt.

The Vest.

Luckily Grell wears a simple brown vest.His vest ranges from a plain brown vest to a brown vest with a black collar.You should be able to find either of these items in any local thrift store or online for very good price.

The Jacket.

For Grell’s jacket I took an old red trench coat and altered it to match the characters coat.First step in this process was cutting the V shape into the back of the coat and tidying up the cut edges by applying bias tape (black). Second step is to add the black trim around the front of the coat in the following areas (see this link for photos). Third and final step is to make your large bow for the back of the coat! To do this follow this wonderful bow tutorial by RoxiiFoxii.

The Neck Ribbon.

I have found it impossible to find a white ribbon with red stripes so I have taken it upon myself to show you all how to create your own ribbon for around your Grell cosplay’s neck!

You will need very thin white ribbons and a 4 fold red bias tape to complete this task.
Step one is to unfold your red bias tape and Iron it flat. Then you will want to take some fabric glue and
draw on two thin lines that will run down your red bias tape. You will now apply your thin white ribbon a top of the glued lines and pat until dry.

The Hip Chain.
Most people will have a hip chini around the house they will be able to use for Grell,
If you do not have one do not fear!!! Go to your local building center and ask for 2 feet of the thinnest chain for sail. Take this chain and paint it black. You are now good to go!

The Glasses.
If you cannot find a pair of red glasses you will want to paint a pair of white or black glasses red.Take your clear string and start to add your beads from silver to black changing the colors every 2 or 3 beads. Once you have finished the length of your clear string in beads it is time to attach your beaded chain to your glasses!

The Arm Bands.
Cut 2 strips of your black elastic and sew them into circles the size (width) of your arm just below your shoulder. These will pull up over your shirt to keep your shirt in place while you wear your coat around your elbows.

The Makeup & Teeth.
For Grell’s makeup I like to follow this video tutorial:

It is a fantastic tutorial that is quick and easy to work through!!
For Grells shark teeth you could spend hundreds of dollars buying a custom plate or you could save a few hundred dollars with this great tutorial on shark teeth!

The Wig.

When styling Grell’s hair you need to keep one thing in mind; SIDE SWEEP.Almost all of Grells hair is whisped to the right (left if you are looking at a photo) When spiking this wig you will want to pull strands into place and hold them while you spray.Please see album for full details
