Description
So for the Saturday on the expo me and CrystalNeko were planning Sakura and Fai, but after I saw here coins I knew I wanted some of my own. Obviously not wanting to do a Sakura cosplay I opted for her big brother! This gave me a good chance to crossplay, have a big weapon and look rather stylish. Yarrrr I robbed a pirates treasure chest =D I started with the man dress, it was very simple. Basic shape then I added the trim and coins etc. Same goes for the cape, this was the easiest of all 8D The man dress is kinda long, I have to pick it up to go up and down stairs [so does my Sakura, lol WE MATCH] I was worried about the sword, but on a trip to Exeter i spotted a HUGE piece of card for £1.99...It was perfect :D I Glue gunned it into place, then paper matched, painted and added the gems in fimo. I like this cosplay because its comfy to wear, though VERY warm. So much black. I don;t jingle as much as I would like either... Hmm >_< The wig is a bad quality party wig. Though its not bad for this purpose. I'd say it's cheap but it isn't >_>; Overall I'm proud of this cosplay. I'm looking forward to the CLAMP shoot at the expo. Also if ANYONE has ANY tips on binding PLEASE HELP! D: I tried and it didn't go well >_>;;;
