there is one other picture but it involves fanservice and i dunno about you people's delicate constitutions XD
Finally my friend uploaded my cosplay photo. Here I am dressed as Rikku from Final Fantasy X. I bought the shirt and shorts and modified them. I made the straps on the side and the garter belt using elastic. I had to sew the blue things.
Things I would do differently or to improve:
I think that I would redo the shoes and shirt. The shirt is a little too wide around my waist and a bit too long. But what can I say? I was running out of time for SpoCon, I was really busy, and this was on the clearance rack. I am pretty darn proud of that garter belt. I also like my sewing job of the frill of the shorts. My biggest frustrations were the boots and garter belt. It was a pain to make that garter belt by hand.
Next Project? THE TRAP!!!! Ahem, Black Bridget from Guilty Gear
I've finished my female Ranma cosplay!! I actually finished it tonight! Well, except for her wrist bands, but those are optional (one would assume). So, I took pictures!
The shirt was made by my boyfriend Daku's neighbor, who is an AMAZING seamstress! The pants were bought at Wal-Mart. I actually had to buy an XL from the Boys' section, as the Women's section didn't sell any sweat pants with the elastic around the ankles. I've had the shoes for quite a few years, so I don't remember where I bought them. The belt is just a simple strip of black fabric. All I had to do for her hair was braid my own, which I do on a daily basis anyways. I'm going to go ahead and make the wrist bands, but I need to buy a set of snaps, so I have to wait. I don't have contacts YET, but I'll be getting them before A2F V.
