| Perfect Blue was one of the first anime movies I watched and I've had CHAM!'s song "Ai No Tenshi" on my ipod for many years now. Ria had been planning to cosplay Mima for a while and I was happy to join her and help make up the rest of CHAM! To go with: gaming_goddess as Mima Frederica_la_Noir as Rei. "Yukiko is a co-singer of Mima in CHAM! along with Rei, and stayed in the group for three years. When Mima has her last performance, Yukiko annouces Mima's departure because Mima was too upset to say about it. After Mima leaves CHAM! the two singers become more popular and they end up on the best singing group charts." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Please see my journals for more details on the construction of this costume as well as progress photos~ The dress was joint hand-made between myself and gaming_goddess. The gloves, stockings and shoes were bought then modified. I used my own hair the first time I cosplayed her but I plan to get a wig for when I re-wear this costume. The microphone was borrowed from Frederica_la_Noir but I will get my own at some point. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I first wore this costume at FushiCon 2011. I loved cosplaying with Ria and Freddie but felt that my costume did not fit me well (and some seams came apart whilst dancing) so I am planning on making some adjustments to make it better fitting to my shape and so it is more hard-wearing. My skirt was too long also so this shall be shortened. Oh and I failed to add Yukiko's beauty spot despite having a make-up test beforehand -_- | |

Shoes (Posted 18th November 2011) Ria tried to find 3 pairs of shoes that matched in our sizes that weren't too expensive. We ended up with what we called "granny shoes" lol. Mine were red to start with and we only had one night to modify them so had to make do with 2 coats of pink acrylic paint. I hand made the bows and they were hot glued on but one fell off during the party and ended up being re-attached with double sided tape ^^' |
 |
Stockings (Posted 18th November 2011) The bows were removed and the darker pink ruffles hand-sewn on whilst wearing the stockings. Many thanks to Quinzel for helping me make the ruffles as I was failing at them... |
 |
Dress complete (back view) (Posted 18th November 2011) I hand made the back bow and Freddie (Frederica la Noir) attached the shoulder straps for me by quickly running them through her machine. |
 |
Gloves (Posted 17th November 2011) Sorry the photo's a bit dark. The colour goes quite well with the pale pink of the dress. |
 |
Petticoat (Posted 17th November 2011) Pretty self-explanatory. Ria found these for us to help poof out the skirts. |
 |
Dress nearly complete (Posted 17th November 2011) When we started working on this the darker pink fabric hadn't arrived yet so when it did Ria added the extra skirt layer and ruffles for me as we wouldn't have time to do it all before Fushi. |
 |
Hair test (Posted 16th November 2011) I bought a wig but ended up sending it back for a refund as it was really thin. I didn't have time to get a replacement so I had to use my own hair. My fringe is too long and un-even (as it's a side fringe and not meant to hang down straight) but I hope it doesn't look too bad. |
 |
Make-up test (Posted 16th November 2011) Yukiko's make-up is pretty basic as the CHAM! girls have quite a clean and innocent look about them. I decided to wear some pale pink glitter eyeshadow for a hint of colour and sparkle though. The main reason for the test was to practise her beauty spot which I drew on with pencil eyeliner. I put liquid eyeliner on my upper lids but think it might be a bit heavy looking (plus it's awkward to do!) so prob won't bother with that again. Products used: Maybelline SuperStay 24HR concealer in Light |
 |
Dress progress- bodice and skirt joined (Posted 17th October 2011) I hand-sewed the skirt to the bodice which took me ages as had to try and get the ruffles evenly spaced. I kinda failed at that but it doesn't look too bad. There's going to be a concealed zip at the back but Ria forgot to buy them oops. The ribbons are just pinned to the dummy to show how they will look. |
 |
Dress progress- skirt (Posted 17th October 2011) Ria cut out the fabric for the skirt, I hemed it on one side then she showed me how to ruche it to make the ruffled appearance that the CHAM girls have. |
