omg. I now know the pain of CLAMP cosplayers. xD

There are two layers to this costume, the peach underkimono and the yellow kimono that's partially lined with purple. The obi has boning in it and laces up in the back with the darari bow as a separate piece that slips into that. The obi/bow was painted with acrylic paint *the vines were freehanded while the roses had a stencil. The butterflies with fabric paint and had stencils. REAMYWHOISMYLOVER used photoshop to separate the designs and I printed, copied on blank stencil sheets and cut out with exacto knife. SOLONG. The wig, oh man, FOREVER. The headpiece has a base of wonderflex from Leah who is amazingooo and it was wrapped in wefts. It's attached by wire that goes up into the mesh and is overall not a very good design as it gave me a huge headache. >_< My only true complaint about this costume is the shortness of the kimono which is all my fault due to not lining correctly. BOO.
