[Feng Baobao cosplay] Bao'er from The Outcast: Custom qipao design under a Conical hat and red flower

This time, I tried a Custom qipao design for Bao'er, blending elements of the original props into everyday attire. Before the shoot, I specifically selected a finely woven Conical hat and secured the large red flower with silk thread; to complement the black qipao, the texture of the hat was also given a distressed vintage finish. For the outfit, I chose a black sleeveless cut. To match the texture of the pink embroidery on the chest, I picked a red beaded necklace and bracelet, creating a unified color harmony throughout the whole look.

The shoot was set by the water for Waterside photography, using the soft reflections and natural light to create a cool, serene atmosphere. During the shoot, a wide aperture was used to blur the background, softening the water and distant tree shadows to emphasize the subject. Since wearing a hat tends to shade the face, I adjusted my standing angles as much as possible to fill light onto the contours of my face and neck. The sunlight filtering through the gaps in the woven bamboo left dappled light and shadow on my face, lending even more texture to this Custom qipao design.

Bao'er's everyday vibe is quiet yet carries a touch of martial-world grit, so I avoided dramatic facial expressions and simply gazed straight into the lens, hoping to capture that steady yet ethereal presence. The hardest thing to manage was the breeze by the water, which easily blew my hair out of place, so we had to seize the exact moments when the wind paused to snap the shots. Putting on this outfit, I kept thinking about how to express the character's distinct sharpness through the softer silhouette of a qipao; overall, I'm quite satisfied with the composition and atmosphere.
