Costume Information

General
Time Taken : 8-10 hours

Description
Break down in prices:
Dress from ebay- £12 including P&P
Wig from ebay- £10 including P&P
Boots- I've had these for a long time but they're probably around £30
Jacket- £8 from a charity shop
Basket- £5 from a market in Manchester
Artificial lilies from ebay- £6 including P&P
Materials including buttons, thread and ribbon- approx £8
Total price- Approx £79 (jeez that's expensive!)

Making the dress: I bought the dress as seen in the pictures. I had to shorten the straps and sewed the buttons up along the front.
The wig: I love my ass long wig :D Basically just plaited this and tied the bows over the hair ties to hide the messy bit. I had to cut parts off the front of the wig to make the bangs but failed to get them as spiky as the actual Aeris.
The jacket: This was part of a suit. I basically removed the lower half and sewed it in to stop the fraying and did the same for shortening the sleeves. Then I just had to sew thegrey material on the inside and out.
Extras: I seriously recommend getting a basket if you do an Aeris cosplay, it's great for carrying stuff (and everyone else's) around. The chord around my neck I just found in a drawer... I'm guessing it's a shoe lace!

Haha suddenly there's a growth in Aeris cosplay comments! Unfortunately I just de-plaited my wig for my next cosplay, but I'll keep a CC version in mind for the future :)
