As much as I love FFIX, I really don't fit any of the characters and never really had an attachment to one in particular. DJMoose was planning on cosplaying Princess Garnet for Otakon and I wanted to make something to go with her, so I chose another version of the same character that hadn't been done before.
Although you can't tell from photos, everything on this costume from the wig to the boots is airbrushed and covered in gold glitter. My face is a different color from my bodysuit because the makeup I bought arrived at my house in the wrong shade. OH WELL, there's always photoshop. >3
