Wakka... why are we on Gaia?
It must be love <3
and our journey begins anew...
Lulu and Wakka
All you need is determination. If you have that, you don't need love
You truly are clueless. Are you sure it's your memory that's the problem?

| Decided to make the entire outfit now as there were too many things i really didn't like about my first lulu. To be worn at Ayacon 2011 with my fiancee as Wakka. 4 cuts and 3 sewing machine needles broken so far... damn you belts! | |
Journal
 |
Bottom of skirt pattern (Posted 11th August 2011) unlike the other "lace" detail where i just drew it in a long line, for the bottom of the skirt i drew each part separately. So lots of flowers, leaves, sunshines, tyre things and squibblys. here is a picture i took when i drew half of the shapes to put on the bottom of the skirt. |
 |
Top Progress (Posted 10th August 2011) Sleeves and Corset, before i put the fur on. |
|
finished top half (Posted 10th August 2011) It's 5:15am, i have been working non stop for 14 hours to get the top part (corset, sleeves and fur) finished and it's done, but now even the TV has gone to bed so i should too. Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow! |
 |
More lace detail (Posted 9th August 2011) Added to top of skirt. Still needs to be painted over and add the little bit of gold detail. This is taking so long >.< |
|
Announcement! (Posted 9th August 2011) I would just like to take this moment to declare - that after this cosplay is complete - i do not want to see another belt ever! X_X |
 |
Contacts (Posted 7th August 2011) Tested my contacts today and i absolutely love them! I don't have the lashes on in the picture because the ones i got were too big and lulu's lashes are really subtle so it would look a bit too stupid xD I'll be buying the lashes that i wore for my quistis v.2 as they were really purdy =D So no lashes for this picture xD |
 |
Pattern WIP (Posted 4th August 2011) I've started drawing out the pattern on grey cotton with a blacl fabric pen. The one in the pictures is to go on the sleeves. I'm also in the middle of drawing the pattern o nthe top of the skirt and then i will start on the pattern at the bottom of the skirt. This has taken me 2 and a half hours so far and my back hurts so i'm going to have a break xD fingers crossed it will look good! |
 |
Adding grey lining (Posted 2nd August 2011) I've added the grey lines on using a hot glue gun, thank you whoever invented the hot glue gun, you are a life saver =D I'm quite proud of the result. |
 |
Corset stage 1 complete (Posted 2nd August 2011) I've done one side of the corset with the black material and here's a picture just to show the difference between the two sides. |
 |
Adding black fabric to corset. (Posted 2nd August 2011) I decided to add black fabric to the corset as i hated how shiny the corset was. I pinned tha fabric on then sewed it using the sewing machine. I added extra fabric to the front bottom part of the corset to change the shape so it resembles Lulu's corset more. |

1st July WIP (Posted 1st July 2011) Things i have and what to do for this cosplay. In Progress stuff: What i still need to do: |

It's just grey drill cotton fabric that i bought from fabric land, was originally for another cosplay but i used it for lulu instead lol xD
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments! x.
You looked so awesome as Lulu. Epic!
I'm in love with the detail on the edges of the sleeves and skirt.
The DETAIL ON THAT SKIRT!... WOMAN! MARRY ME!
The edits have made this costume look even more special
Really awesome Cosplay <3 Nice attention to detail *_*
only three needles broken? That's actually impressive considering I managed to screw up a needle just making -one- belt XD
The detailing is wonderful, and you look absolutely gorgeous <3
love love LOVE the new photos!
Your Lulu is absolutely stunning <3
You make a really pretty Lulu (:
Must be hard work to make this costume ._.
Have you styled the wig by yourself?
ooh no this lulu wig I didn't style xD Styling wigs up into ponytails are my weakness lol. The costume was very hard to make but so worth it in the end <3 and thanks! ^^ x.
