| Yet another early costume of mine. I decided on it long before even touching the game, just because I really liked the design!. This was my second costume, and I suppose the point where I really got the cosplay bug. My dad, who helped me with my first costume, didn't see why I wanted to make another one, so I was left on my own this time. The top was a charity shop t-shirt, cut up into the correct shape. The ruffles are more like box pleats because I preferred the effect...and I really had no idea what I as doing, I just experimented with what looked right. The side-skirt was also just experimentation with draping the fabric until I hit on a look I liked. Originally I used a purple/blue taffeta for the sleeves, but replaced it with a double layer of chiffon for greater accuracy. I found one layer was too see-through, and lining them also allowed me to neatly encase the raw edges. The bands and crosses are all elastic so they stay in place relatively well. The skirt is pleated lace fabric, and is sewn to a pair of shorts. I covered a belt in the same fabric used for the ruffles and side-skirt and fitted a buckle salvaged from a different belt. I did originally make pathetic bootcovers, but later on got a pair of brown knee high boots. I only temporarily added the tops to them and won't do any more to them since they're boots I wear normally too! A friend wore it to AmeCon 04 as Yuna Sonsgstress, but maybe one day I'll wear it to a con myself. I kind of want to continue to remake this and improve it since I love the design and like being able to use my own hair for a costume. | |
