Congratulations, gamers. Battlefront III is happening which means you can stop asking when it’s going to be made at convention panels completely unrelated to video gaming.

Cosplay Monday: Historically Accurate Snow White
Welcome back to another edition of Cosplay Monday where we strive to brighten your Monday morning with one of the cool costumes floating around the interweb. This week, we’re veering away from Star Wars and highlighting a Disney costume. Awhile ago, Shoomlah over on DeviantArt began researching and drawing the Disney Princesses in historically accurate costumes. (Or at least as close to historically accurate as can be managed with some of them.) The project turned out to be incredibly popular and now tsu-yaa over on tumblr has brought her Snow White design to life. The amount of attention paid to detail on this gorgeous dress is incredibly and she looks stunning! You can check out her tumblr for most pictures.
