I was originally supposed to wear Cloud 9 to this gathering, but because the wig got lost in the mail and the replacement wig didn't get here in time....I went as Anita instead, because I don't need a wig for that-- (my hair is actually cut in the same style as hers, except the bangs on the forehead are longer).

Costume isn't really very well made (i.e. sometime during the gathering the seams ripped a little on the sides HAHAHAH;;;; good thing for photoshop o3o) but it was a simple costume that was made in 3 hours.

Dark purple linen for the off-shoulder top and a broadcloth-type off-white fabric was used for the head scarf. The gray leggings were store-bought and something I already had in my closet. I had black chinese kung-fu style shoes as well as purple embroidered silk slippers that could go with the outfit but I forgot to bring them in my haste, and just went with flip flops instead, which I took off for most of the photographs and just went barefoot =)

I wrapped gauze bandages and secured it with sports tape so that they would show under the holes in the sleeves.

I plan on making Anita's fancy schmancy "princess" outfit in the near future, the elaborate Chinese style dress she's wearing when you first see her in the manga/anime.

Photo used in the icon was taken by Evalime; thank you! =)
