For nearly three years, I've talked about cosplaying Garnet. She is among my Dream cosplays, and through some vigorous pushing from my dear and loved friends, I managed to turn this out in a semi-finished state, half way through SakuraCon 2008.

Does it have problems? Yes. My plan is to completely re-make the bodysuit, the blouse (for a better fit), and the pendant, as well as refining the belt buckles and the rod, and then tackling the long-haired wig and the white made coat as well. This version is never to see the light of day again.

WHY do I need to remake it? I get asked that a lot. It's not a short answer, but you can read my detailed break-down over at my Myspace:
