Frills! Woo, yes, I'm slowly working my way through the 'for your eyes only' artbook, and getting there. I picked this one for my next project as Minami is a small convention and all indoors so I could get away with walking around barefoot hehe. I made the arm thingies a bit tight, I must fix that when I get the chance. Otherwise no mishaps really, the trim took a while to sew on (though overlocked at the same time to save time), but was easy enough. Due to most of this being an odd shape and the skirt being different lengths I didn't need to bother with a pattern, it was quite easy to adlib. Not much else to say, it's a cute, fun and moderately comfortable (for a cosplay!) costume. Photos by Sebastian.
