Description
This outfit was the first I wanted to finish from the character. I made two Ashford uniforms, since the first one was pretty lame and rushed and second version of the uniform turned out great.
It took me a while to make the uniform, since I didn't know how to build it up. I used yellow ribbon, instead of gold (which means I'm going to make the Ashford uniform again, also the fact that it's falling apart). I had a good half a year wearing this and I enjoyed wearing it with my sister as Suzaku.
I kept on deciding to use my actual hair or a wig. It turned out I used a wig but I had a few problems with it. The wig I used kept on flicking out at the sides, (even though it's supposed to do that at the end of the hair). My sister and I hair sprayed it down but the wig started getting messy XD I think I'm going to buy a new wig for him, bleh orz

[ EDIT.26.01.10 ]

Bought material for my V3 Ashford uniform xD
The material is thick but not heavy for the uniform, so I'm pleased about that. It was £2 per yarde, which was alright. I ended up getting 2 yardes because the roll of material was my height....so hopefully it is enough. Next time, I have to go ribbon shopping. I'm going to get 7 metres of gold ribbon. I'm going to re-use my Ashford logos from my old uniform. I just remembered that one of my friends got it for me <33 I alreadly have the buttons. I think I have to find my old belt as well. Trousers I already got. Hopefully I can get the base of the uniform done by tonight or the end of the week if possible ^__^

Finished my v3 uniform 8DDD Finally! Now I don't have to re-do this cosplay another time XD I thought I wouldn't get this done in time because of the shoot but I did, so yey! *claps*

COMPLETE 8DD (Posted 5th February 2010)

V3 done!
I slacked off this week and knew I should get Lelouch done before sunday, so I can get something done for the shoot by then! I am very excited to wear my uniform now. It's one of the first that I re-done but on the sewing machine. I once thought that I didn't have enough ribbon to cover everything D;
Sewing ribbon annoyed me because I had certain issues with it and the machine itself =__=; I tried to sew my hand but my hand sewing skills did me no justice whatsoever, so I failed and tried the machine again and it worked. It's not 100% prefect but it's good enough for me ;D
I'm happy that I re-done this cosplay and I'm glad that I got it done in time.
I quickly put on my wig and cosplay on for pictures. Taken and quickly edited on MS Paint, niceeee ;D

Hope you like~

Ribbon and more progress~ (Posted 2nd February 2010)

I sewed the sleeves to the main bit, now I have to sew the buttons on. I bought ribbon today. It's thin, so I'm scared to used the machine for it .__. Not sure what to do. I have to get it done by Sunday though otl This week in college has been crazy, I'm trying my best to fit Lelouch in for the week. I might spend Saturday sewing Lelouch if I can't get him done by Friday *shot* I got extra sewing needles, just in case I break the last three other ones....just in case &gt;.&gt; For the wig....I might use my Sebastian wig for him, since for some reason, Yas can pull him off with the wig and Sebastian was once Lelouch before Q__Q
Once I get the ribbon done, I can sew the buttons on and maybe those clip things (forgotten the name alreadly) and...iron the ashford logo things. Then Lelouch would be complete! Lol V3 already of this. This is my first cosplay that I'm re-doing properly....how cool am I? ;D *shot*

Ribbon - £1.75 (7 metres)

In the making ;D (Posted 26th January 2010)

I did my sleeves. I had a bit of a problem with it. Since I got 2 yardes of it, I'm killing myself to save a lot of the material >__<;; I want to get the base done, so I can get started on Ion D;
I used our blazer for a pattern for the sleeves *shot* XD I noticed how much patterns can help you since we usually make it without them .__.
No picture this time...I might delete a few pictures of my old Ashford uniform here, so it has enough room for new pictures *doubleshot* I'm going to get started on the rest now, hopefully I'll get most of it done x3

V3 (Posted 31st December 2009)

Going to make another verison for the Ashford uniform because mine is almost dead, might as re-make it for the next All-Hail shoot, since I can't find any time making a new outfit for him, so re-making the Ashford uniform will do me justice :D
Can't wait to start this...yet finish this XD; orz
