Newest costume
First time poster, though I've been reading this for quite awhile.
I do a lot of costuming, and just finished my newest project for an upcoming anime con. I figured I may as well show it here, since it fits in with the spirit of this place ^_^
...I hope this cut works.
The full outfit
And a closeup of the headband/necklace
The skirt's a bit askew, but that's just the placement on my dressform. The parts that I thought would be hard to make were actually the easiest (the ruffles on the skirt), and the parts I thought would be easiest (the bodice and the sleeves nearly drove me insane). But it was oh so worth it. I still have some threads to snip of course, but I just had to show if off. I put together the bulk of it in less than a month, too. Not sure how I managed that.
