| This took me a surprisingly short amount of time considering it was my first serious cosplay attempt! I really enjoyed the 'making' part of this. The gun, the charms and the sword were so enjoyable to make! The skirt was difficult to get to do what i wanted it to, and the top admittedly is from when i was 9. An old dancing costume! But i altered it dramatically- added the collar and the lining of the collar/sleeves, added the belt hoops. | |
To-Do List
| Make the holster for the gun | High | Planned |
| Find some white lace to complete the lining of the skirt at the back | Medium | Planned |
| Change the buttons on the skirt to match babydolls | Low | Planned |
| Make a slit in the skirt? | Low | Planned |

Just acting like a dork (Posted 17th January 2013) mum's just took pictures of the costume for me :3 |
|
Fully painted and completed gun (Posted 16th January 2013) Very proud of this, actually. I love painting things other than faces. I made the handle/grip look like wood with darker lines and things :) |
|
Making the charms now :) (Posted 15th January 2013) very enjoyable work. though they're not coming out as good as i'd hoped... |
|
Got the skirt and it's almost finished now! (Posted 15th January 2013) Except i need to take it in because it's rather baggy and.. (call me a slut) a little too long... |
|
So I fashioned the belts.. (Posted 12th January 2013) I made the belts cross at the back (i still need to sew them like that though!) and i attached the scabbard to the woven belt/sling. Put my babydoll top on, too :) |
|
I literally have no life (Posted 11th January 2013) All my friends have gone back to uni and I have another 10 days before anything remotely interesting is going to happen. So here i am at 2am painting and sewing away |
|
Katana doneeee (Posted 11th January 2013) Had to paint the 'blade' to make it actually look vaguely like metal, I painted the handle and guard black, took off that terrible black lace and used my old handbag's strap cut in half as the XXX part of the handle. I painted the scabbard mahogany coloured and added the cute little snow flakes onto it :) |
|
Cheap shit 'ninja sword' arrived! (Posted 11th January 2013) Gonna have to paint the hell out of this to make it look like babydolls! all part of the fun though, i guess |
|
Bought some belts (Posted 8th January 2013) To help fashion the katana sling and the shoulder holster |
|
Lining all sewed up! (Posted 7th January 2013) Collar completed, the lining of the collar completed! |
