I DID IT! 100% finished! :D

I really thought Yoko would be a nice and easy costume to make on an instant. I was SO wrong! D:

The rifle was a b**ch, basic boots I could work with almost impossible to find in my area, latex gloves EXPENSIVE, wig.. oh my.. o_O It consists of two wigs and I was stupid enough to wait with styling them until the day of the con -
the whole thing was really rushed in the end, that's why it looked pretty terrible on the first run and was uncomfortable as hell. I remade the whole thing for the next con and I really like how it is now.

Yoko was also my first time working with pleather and pvc (or whatever exactly it is..) It was a constant trial and error, especially the bikini-top. I had to make it twice - the first attempt landed in the trash bin.
At least he scarf/neck-warmer thing was fun. I already made a second one in grey/black for everyday use on cold winter days. Sooo comfy! ^^

So all in all I'm REALLY glad I'm finally done and I had a lot of fun being her. :3
