This was the first costume I made myself, and I put soooo much time and money into it xD; I did indeed buy the Sharingan contacts, which I had to buy with my own money cause my mom thought they were too scary looking and refused to buy them for me Dx; So there went like 4 months of savings down the drain!! (But it was worth it they lasted a year) I still regret not making the necklace or the ring, but it's okay. I hand sewed the clouds on, which like totally ate my soul. D: The shoes were also really uncomfortable... But overall I think it's pretty good for a first time by myself.
