This Woman Surprises People With Her Incredible Cosplays (40 New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Who said that age is not a limit? They are very right! The pursuit of dreams should not end at a mature age and Marina Badianova is a great example of that. This 59-year-old woman surprises people with her incredible cosplays. With the help of professional photographers, she brings to life expressive characters from history, folklore, and fairy tales.
Marina creates the costumes herself and in this article, we want to show some new outfits that this crafty woman has made. For more of her amazing cosplays, check out the previous article on Bored Panda by clicking here.

Bored Panda got in touch with Marina to get to know more about her and the costumes she's making. Looking at all these different characters and styles, we got curious about where the talented woman gets inspiration for the outfits. Marina told us that her outfit ideas arise on their own, from memories, according to the plots of books, films, and children's stories.

We bet that you, pandas, are curious how long it takes for Marina to create one complete outfit. So were we! It seems that the woman works at the speed of light because it takes around 15 minutes for her to create an image of a costume and she can sew a dress and a headdress in one day!

This woman is awesome! I hope to be like that when I get there. You could tell she has a fun personality.
Marina shared with us that she is self-taught. However, she learned to sew hats in courses for retirees. The woman sews all her outfits with a needle (without a sewing machine) which is even more astonishing when you know that she can complete an outfit in one day!

Looking at all the costumes, we got curious about how many of them Marina has already made and where she fits all of them. The woman has sewed a lot of clothes so she doesn't remember the exact number. She keeps all of her outfits in boxes, gives some away, and makes new outfits out of some of them. She also added that all the closets in her house are full!

I really hope that this woman is a member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) or reenactment group because her historical outfits are lovely.

This one looks like a painting by some exceptionally gifted artist. Breathtaking to be honest.

Just a pretty governess on her day out with her wards at the park smiling at their antics. Children are so precious. (I think).

I don’t get why you call a woman a grandma unless she is your's. She is still a woman to anybody else.

How about just "Woman"? Is it crazy because she is 59 or because she is a grandma?
