Currently I'm working on an entirely new version of this costume. While I do like this one, it was an earlier effort for me, which means it has some basic construction flaws. The biggest problems are that it doesn't like to stay in place (requires lots of double-sided tape and safety pins) and it doesn't provide any support whatsover. I know how to fix both problems, so I'll be debuting version 2.0 this summer.

I do like the wig (it needs more wefts, though), and the eyeliner. The fabric print--stretch velvet--was a nice find, but I'd like to do the stripes myself so it looks closer to the manga and anime.
