This is the second costume I have made, and the first I have made entirely myself.
I love Chii's costumes, and this is the one I love the most =3

Anyway, I worked on it about 20-30 hours bit by bit, for about 8 months.

I'm glad I made it in time for the Japan Expo, I will be a part of a group there, and this will be the first time too. I'm already shaking ^^;;

Except for the corset, I had no pattern to make it. Glad it didn't turn out to be ugly :p
The most difficult part was the corset. It was longer than I thought, and I had to make it fit my waist better. I've lost several pounds since I finished it, so I also had to re-adjust it xD
The easiest task about this costume certainly is Chii ears. Besides I find them pretty to wear :p

Maybe I'll try later to do a contest ? Wish I had the courage to :p
