Description
Another casual costume for the Summer, yay! Also I might wear it whilst walking around in Oct or something as I don't -really- want to walk around in big poofy dresses xD; It's really not my style! XD [Neither is short skirts but it's better than girly poofy dresses @_@]

La Corda d'Oro is another one of my favourite animes... It's cute and it's music oriented! The main thing that attracted me to the series was that it involved conventional orchestral instruments [+piano] which is great! ='D I wanted to do Tsukimoto more as he has blue hair XD, but I don't like his uniform =[. So I went with Hino... Plus I get to be a red-head, w00t! 8D I get to pose with my lovely German violin too, yay! XD [Actually my chinese violin is more accurate in colour so I might pose with that... But it's not as nice XP]

For this costume as it is a school uniform it is very cheap and easy to do, I can re-use my skirt I'm using for Tomoyo. socks and shoes I have. Sailor collars are easy to make. Tie can be made easily too, it's just a matter of finding the right colour! And the shirt can be made by staring at my school shirts for ages and figuring out how to make it ='D Plus I have a blazer that looks very simular to the uniform so I have that for reference too xD. Only thing I'm worried about is the school emblem... Shall I embroider it or try and draw the design? ='D I'll figure that out when I get to it xD

Yay [again] for easy cosplays! x3 Doubt anyone would recognize me but hey ='D

maybe for the emblem find a picture of it, go to WHSmiths by some transfer paper, print it off onto that and iron it onto fabric. and then stitch it on? easy! >< although if you're going for an embroidered look then that's a useless idea.... >w<

Hmm... I was wondering if I should use transfer paper or not... I've never used it before though... Might try and get some and experiment =3. Thanks for the suggestion! =D Anime's pretty obscure though... I can't actually find a decent picture of the emblem D= *goes google harder*

hmmm...... yeah it's difficult to find one i guess if the anime's not too popular... you could draw it, scan it in and go from there? ><
