I loved Klan while watching Macross F, but was too intimidated by her outfits and hairstyle to even try to cosplay her. However, I came across the perfect wig on eBay, and that's what made me decide to cosplay her. I originally planned to make her Zentradi flight suit, but I feel that it's way above my skills level. I'll try it one day! But I adored her micronized form and the outfit she wore while in it, so I decided to make that! The only thing that really worried me was that I had never sewn a crotch before, and I had no idea how to make the boot covers.

I figured the crotch out easily enough, and the boot covers ended up being pretty simple. The base is 2 pairs of tights, cut into thigh-highs. Not too difficult. ^^ They turned out pretty decent in my opinion.

The headband and jumper are made out of jersey knit fabric, which gives it that good form-fitting look. I made the jacket out of rodeo fabric, and made the gold bias binding from scratch, as they didn't have any available where I live.

I still need to make the purple hair bow-things (I bought the wrong type of fabric! D: ) and need to sew on little pink bows to the cuffs. Other than that, I'm done! :D I plan on entering her into a costume contest at the next con I go to, paired with my boyfriend as Mikhail, of course. :3
