Description
Unfortunately due to house hunting being more hasstle than planned and one of our group members injuring themselves this got put on hold, so I couldn't take it to Ame 08.

I've made the skirt cage from boning though I may add a few more strips for rigidity. I'm not sure how heavy the fabric on top of it will be, I think I'll still put a roll of wadding under the top to support it. I have a pattern for the poofy shoulders worked out and the rough top and jacket cut out.

--

Schizo witch is go!

I've decided to use chicken wire inside the hat brim and base of the point. Insulation tape should stop the edges from being sharp enough to poke through the fabric.

I've doodled a thousand ways to do the bluebell skirt, but currently a cage of plastic boning with removable horizontal pieces is looking like the best solution (plus a ye olde bumroll). I need to be able to transport it, so while I'd love to use chicken wire again, the train would be a nightmare :/

That looks like it's gonna be a really good cosplay. ^_^ What's it from?

It's from the RPG game Shining Wind. There's a crossover anime called Shining Wind X Tears as well.

This one should be for Amecon. I'm really looking forward to making the huge hat and the mechanical broom :D
