Definitely my most popular cosplay to date (fair enough I haven't done that many)! I really enjoyed cosplaying Franzy though- if you haven't played the game yet GO BUY IT NOW! That's just how good it is.

Needless to say- the sleeves were awful to do. I had to get my wonderful friend MrsChumphy to do them in the end because I was screwing up all the material. So on that side I completely fail!
The bow and pendant are OK to do once you actually know what you're doing. I used sculpey oven bake clay and stuck the blue on top of the yellow part. I had fun fusing it to my old school prefect badge! You can tie the bow into a butterfly knot, but I didn't have enough material so in the end I made two standard bows, pinned them together with the pendant then thread some white string through it.
Jacket was done from an outline I found on the internet. Used eye tags to hold the front together then sewed sculpey badges onto it and sewed the ribbons.

The downside: Every time I've worn this I've been seriously perved on, which is really to be expected in a shor skirts and heels... But if you're travelling home on the same day, bring some trousers to change into please! I was coming back from an expo and had brought flats and a shirt, but still had the skirt. Walking around in a station at 9pm on a Saturday night and being hasselled by 40 year old odd men with missing teeth- it's really not fun! Other than that, everyone recognises you in full costume, so it's great!

Ah, I saw this at the midlands expo. Really great to see as I love the character.

Though I had hoped for a joke photo getting you in a mistress-esque pose with the whip. Unfortunately, I couldnt find my friends at the same time as I saw you, so I couldnt get that to happen.

Nevermind, great costume and again, was great to see it!
