19th March 2011: DONE First came up with the idea for Phoenix waaaay back, but I wasn't confident enough to go for it. Then one day I decided to buy the base catsuit on ebay, which was my best desion EVER.
So happy this is complete, was originally a dream cosplay, and now i've finished it xD
15th March 2011: gloves They failed again T__T since i'm cutting things close to kita now, i'm just gonna buy a pair on ebay for now, and attempt making them again after kita.
15th March 2011: Boots First of all a massive THANK YOU to the article/tutorial that Ranma 1/2 wrote on this site, without it I wouldn't have known where to start!
However, because of the fabric I used, the boots were so hard to make! After several attempts, this was the best I could do, I know that they aren't perfect, I might attempt them again after Kita.
6th March 2011: bad times and good time Today I did some more work on this, I spent AGES working on the gloves this morning, and they failed :'(
but then I worked on the emblem and I'm very happy with the progress so far xD
10th February 2011: Catsuit verdict So I put this costume up, but to be honest I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to go ahead with this since I had no idea how I would look in something so fitted. However I brought the base catsuit and today it arrived- and I nervously tried it on...
And I don't look bad at all- still in shock but I think I can actually pull this cosplay off :D- Phoenix will defo be done for Kitacon!!!
19th December 2010: in progress not done the main factor which will decided if i'll defiantly be doing this costume, but I found a few bits that can be used in this :)
