Sabrina Cervilla

Hello! I am a University of Central Florida student from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I have been living in the U.S. for ten years. I am currently pursuing a degree in Costume Design after recently graduating with a degree in Business and Leadership. I have seven years of experience specializing in the adaptation of costumes from screen to practical wear.
I am looking to advance my skills through working in the entertainment industry.

KamiCon

Special Guest - February 2023

Amity Blight / The Owl House

I sewed a stunning silk dress with vinyl moons adorned at the bottom edge for this character. This costume drew the attention of the show creators and led to an invitation to model alongside The Owl House voice actors in a professional shoot.

Hiccup / How To Train Your Dragon

I integrated foam padding into the garment's leather design to enhance its structure and volume while keeping it lightweight. This approach allowed for a thicker, more robust appearance without the additional burden of heavy materials. The use of foam also offered flexibility, ensuring comfort and ease of movement for wearing.

Holiday Matsuri

Cosplay Guest - December 2024

Bridget / Descendants: Rise Of Red

For my costume of Bridget from Descendants: The Rise of Red, I poured a lot of time and effort into every detail, from the intricate beadwork to the wig styling. I carefully crafted every pattern and I hand-sewed each bead onto the costume, ensuring they were perfectly placed to capture the essence of her look. For the skirt, I meticulously cut over 50 cards to give it the right shape and structure, making sure it mimicked Bridget's unique design. Last but certainly not least, I made and decorated fake cupcakes with magnetic bottoms.

Bold Matsuri Convention

Special Guest - June 2023

Amity Blight / The Owl House

This character has a time-skip design that I chose for this convention. She wears pants that I hand patterned due to their distinctive style. The pants are multicolored and asymmetrical, which created a fun challenge to translate how it flowed in the animation into a physical garment. I worked on a wig with a complicated style that required me to shave an undercut, style an updo, and dye it two different colors.

Georgia Renaissance Faire

Cosplay Guest - April 2024

Marcille / Delicious in Dungeon

Marcille’s dress is loosely based on Renaissance-style dresses, making this garment unique from others I have made. I incorporated hidden lights into the staff that I can turn on and off. I enjoy adding unique character elements into my designs that showcase their personality and create little easter eggs for other fans to notice.

Anime Weekend Atlanta

Cosplay Guest - October 2023

Ambrosius / Nimona

This costume was a unique build that also utilized my skillset in foam work. I researched and studied the concept designs as well as stills from the movie to transfer the 2D images into wearable 3D designs that I patterned myself. This piece also showcases my artistic abilities since it is completely hand painted with the complex designs on his armor as well as mimics the way light would reflect on metal.
