SEVERUS SNAPE — CANONICAL BUILD

DOSSIER_v1
CRAFT_ANALYSIS

▸ VISUAL_DESIGN

Severus Snape wears a tailored black frock coat over a high-collared black button-down, a long flowing black cape, black trousers and boots, with a shoulder-length straight black wig and a wand — no hat, no staff.

▸ DIFFICULTY_LEVEL

APPROACHABLE

◆◆◇◇

Draped garments are forgiving. Wig and staff carry the recognition load.

▸ KEY_COSTUME_ELEMENTS

01Tailored black frock coat with many buttons
02High-collared black button-down shirt
03Long flowing black cape
04Black trousers and boots
05Shoulder-length straight black wig
06Wand prop

▸ SOURCING_NOTES

→Robes: Etsy indie makers stock franchise-accurate cuts; cosplay-store 'mage robe' is generic Halloween.
→Staff: 3D-print the head only, mount on a real wooden dowel — full-length STL prints warp during shipping and printing.
→Hat: pattern from a cosplay tutorial — pre-made witch hats are stiff/plasticky.
→Wig: color and length carry the character; styling can be minimal for this archetype.
