| Since Tifa has always been a favourite FF VII character of mine, I thought what better way to express my admiration than by cosplaying her. My first ever costume was of her AC outfit (that was a mistake) but I actually prefer her original one, sometimes keeping it simple works;, and it certainly does for Tifa. Worn at: London MCM Expo May 2009- Saturday Ayacon 2011 -Friday | |

Sneaky peak of my new wig! (Posted 6th August 2011) I forgot how bad i am at wig styling, there i was thinking Tifa's wig would be simple but boy was i wrong. Fringes are the worst thing for me, i end up cutting them too short....which was exactly what i did with this one and made a bit of a mess but somehow i saved it a little. If i get time i'll add some extra wefts to the end of the ponytail but when i wear this i'll also make sure its all securely pinned to my head (in the photo it was quickly thrown on haha) I'm just relieved i finished faffing with it today as i have another wig for a different costume to do next...god i'm dreading it now lol My stupid 'wig' face always makes me laugh lol |

Still in progress... (Posted 27th July 2011) Can't believe how laid back i've been about this costume, and yet I have under a month to get this finished O_O Really can't wait to finish this costume! I love cosplaying Tifa, i just pray i get my wig and find a pair of chunky boots in time. P.S I had red eyes in this photo, and when i cleaned them up it made them browny. Haha reminds me I also need to get contact lenses. |

Tifa Mark II in progress (Posted 11th May 2011) I thought it was about time I revived my original Tifa cosplay! She's one of my all time favourite FF characters and her outfit is reasonbly comfty to prat around in soo i shall be wearing this at Ayacon 2011. (My first Aya and probably will wear this on the friday) I also spent a little time adding some small buckles to my braces, for a little more accuracy, can't believe how easy it was to attach them actually. Next up I need to get a new top as the old one just isn't right...i'll try and make one from scratch this time (as its a really simple top, clearly i was just lazy before) and I'm also on the hunt for some new boots (with more eyelets...3 eyelets look lame) and a new wig as the old one has lost its elasticity...so its basically died....sad times. |
