I loved FF VII and wanted to cosplay as one of its characters. I heart that game so much. . . anyway, it's one of my first two costumes, and was based more off the in-game look rather than the artwork.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES: Made at the same time as Link (on a visit home for winter break), this is another relatively ghetto costume. My mother sewed the dress (I hadn't learned to sew yet), but I did at least alter the jacket myself, in addition to making the cuffs. I was a complete n00b at this point and knew nothing about wigs, so the ponytail is an extension in the closest color I could find to my own hair, which was used for the bangs and the curls on the sides.
