Costume Information

Description
I've changed the date for this so so so many times! I originally wanted to cosplay her because Luke was doing Grell, but now I've read a bit of Black Butler, I really like her as a character, too.
My original commissioner couldn't complete this for me due to circumstance, so it's been put off for now until I can afford to get it made myself, since I feel confident with my skills now than I did before.

I know, I KNOW I keep changing the time of this... But Luke's definitely doing Grell now so we can be together as I originally wanted, ahhh, it's just a case of when!

Journal

Commission! (Posted 29th June 2011)

So I figured I'd pop up a journal with a few details about my commission from flames-of-monki (http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/overview/flames-of-monki).
I've commissioned pretty much everything- Jacket, Skirt, Shirt, Waistcoat, Necktie and Hat! It came to £150~ and it will be custom sized.

Veeeery excited :D Very much trusting Josh since his previous work has been amazing! :)
