Description
Aerith is a very special character to me.
She was the first female Final Fantasy character that I gained any affinity for. I seriously bawled my eyes out when I saw what happened to her in Final Fantasy VII.
I was so happy to see her in Kingdom Hearts, and I fell in love with her Kingdom Hearts II outfit. Its just so cute!

The costume is... getting there. I originally tried to do the Kingdom Hearts outfit that she wears, but I found it too naked for my taste.
So I decided to do the Kingdom Hearts II outfit, its more colourful and more fun looking.

I've been having issues with getting the skirt right, but the top is gradually coming together.

I'm going to have issues with the hair as mines too short. I'm tempted to buy a wig, or buy one and customise it... not sure yet.

Update: 04/03/08
I got the wig in the mail a few days ago, but because it was flattened for postage, it now needs restyling, which is frustrating as I've never styled a wig before. To add to that, my ineptitude with wigs only seems to be increasing as I can't even get this on on my head. At all.
Not a happy Silver right now. >__<*

Update: 03/01/08.
Aerith is now complete, aside from the wig. I need to find a suitable one and style it.
I love this outfit so much. <33

You were such a beautiful Aeris, just perfect even though we were battling against the wind (I'm the girl with the red & black witch outfit you met outside) I've got your flower up on my shelf :D
