While I was working on a more elaborate Ayane costume to wear at AnimagiC 2007, I realized I might not be able to finish it in time for the con. So I started looking for an alternate costume that would be brainlessly easy to make - and there it was! I also wanted a comfy costume I could change into at the end of a long con day.

It was eventually debuted at Connichi 2007 (Friday night.) It was fun to wear, but I definitely need to work on my fighting poses *lol* I'm no good at that, and while I love playing Ayane in the game, I can't remember and imitate a single one of her moves (except her winning pose maybe.) I'll consider this a rehearsal for my next Ayane cosplay...

I wore it with Yaya's drop-dead gorgeous Christie at Dragon*Con 2008 and probably ruined every single photo *lol* I really wish I'd had a less crappy DOA costume at the time that I could have brought to the con.

I made an all-new jacket in 2009 (looks about 10x better than the old one) but I haven't had the chance to wear it yet.

Cost: EUR 55 / ~US$ 80
