Oh lawd. Italy. What can I say? I chose Italy because 2 (ended up being 5) of my other friends were doing Hetalia, I was just getting into the series, and I thought Italy was adorable. I'm also very Italian. X3

This costume was both a ton of fun and a pain in my butt. I had to remake the pants because the first time because the first pair were tiny. And the jacket has 13 buttons. =__= The jacket and pants are made from poplin, the tie was from my Apollo Justice cosplay, the shirt was bought at Target, and the bootcovers were made with some polyester blend I found in the JoAnns scrap pile. XD They fit on my boots with Velcro.

The wig is Amphigory's "Twiggy", and the curl is simply a 20 gauge brown jewelry wire sewn in with embroidery thread. I used leftovers from my friend's Korea cosplay for the flag.

I got to do a shoot with a friend of mine who was Belarus, and I'll have those pictures up when I get them. =] I met so many people, took so many photos, and made some great friends!! More Hetalia cosplay to come? Probably. XD
