13 Cosplays of Halloween - Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)

Day 12! ^^ One more recipe! The character for today is Jill Valentine of 'Resident Evil.' We'll be using the 'Marvel vs. Capcom 3' designs of her for these recipes.

Here's what you get when you first download her in 'Marvel vs. Capcom 3.' Many thanks to Creative Uncut for letting me use this!

Here's one of her DLC costumes in the game. This one's VERY easy to do. Many thanks to the Marvel Universe Forums for letting me use this!

Jill in her S.T.A.R.S costume. Very unsure if this is included in-game. Many thanks to GameInformer for letting me use this!

What's needed to suit up (first suit):
  • A blue one-piece swimsuit
  • Black tights (black skinny jeans will work too!)
  • Matching blue boots
  • Duct tape in both blue and black
  • A black long-sleeved shirt
  • Blue gloves or white gloves and blue cloth dye
  • Velcro strips
How to prepare:
  1. Get dressed, except for the gloves if they're white. If so, dip them into the dye, leave them until they get to the desired shade and hang them up to dry.
  2. Take the blue duct tape and have a friend or a parent wrap it around your shoulders and legs. Take a couple strips of the black duct tape and wrap them around the blue tape on both of your legs. Make sure the strips make a broad X-shape inside your thigh. Not too tight on the legs or else you'll cut the circulation on both legs and arms. ^^;
  3. Once you're done, check the gloves. If they're dry, then put them on.
  4. Take some Velcro strips and apply the loop side onto the tape of your left leg. Peel off the hook side, put a toy gun holster on it and press it down until the hook side can go off with the holster. Once that's done, grab a sci-fi toy gun, get your hair in a skinny ponytail and you're ready!
Now, for Jill's STARS outfit:
  • A dark blue beret
  • A bright blue shirt
  • Black or dark blue jeans
  • Black combat boots
  • Black fingerless gloves
  • A fabric marker in blue
  • Cardboard or posterboard
How to suit up:
  1. Get dressed, except for the hat.
  2. Have a friend or parent draw two lines over the chest of the shirt and the STARS badge on the right shoulder. For reference on the badge, Google it! ^^
  3. Get some pieces of cardboard or posterboard and drape them over your shoulders. Logos or any type of print should be pointing down. Once you get the desired length, cover them in duct tape or paint them with dark blue. If you painted them, leave the pieces to dry, finish them with a couple dots of silver paint and leave it again for the silver to dry. If you covered the pieces in duct tape, take a strip of regular duct tape (the original gray/silver), cut out a couple of circles for the studs and place them on the two front corners. Take another piece of duct tape, tape some safety pins to the cardboard and pin it to your shoulders.
  4. Make another STARS badge, but on some paper and for the hat. Once you're done making the badge, Scotch tape some safety pins to the back of it and pin it to the back of the beret (across from the floppy side). Roll up your gloves, get a fake revolver and you're done!
For the middle costume as seen above, just wear a bright blue tube top, a brown skirt and matching brown boots and finish it by wrapping a white sweater around your waist. Hope you enjoyed! ^^

Tomorrow's character: You'll see~ ^w^
