I got started after a friend at uni introduced me to its existence and I cosplayed Sailor Moon, LOVE IT!
I love the excitement waiting for the time you wear it when you can see it has all come together :D. And conventions and parties are so much fun!
My proudest moment was when I won an award for my Sailor Jupiter costume. It was my first totally hand sewn cosplay and I spent forever on it but had no idea I'd win an award!
My least proud was having my contest entry cosplay fall apart on arrival at Kitacon III :'(
My greatest achievement was making my first full dress with no pattern at all :)
