OVERVIEW: I couldn't think of what to cosplay as for Tekko, so finally I decided on Yuko Ichihara. I didn't have that much time, but I had some lovely purple chinese silk, so I decided to do a basic sexy dress. It's loosely based off of one she wears for about three pages in the manga.

THE DRESS: I. hate. working. with. silk. STUPID FRAYING MATERIAL OF... er... don't mind me. I didn't have a pattern. Basically, I traced myself onto the material. Yeah. Go me. I added some black beads along to the top and made myself a matching choker.

GLOVES: Claire's. Hey, they're cheap and shiny and come in many different shades, so why not?

SHAWL: This was from a little Chinese vendor that used to be in the mall I now work at. It's really quality!

THIGH-HIGHS:... kept slipping down. I didn't have a garter. Someone made a video of me pulling them up. o.O

MOKONA: That's my keychain, this was before I found the plushies and sold my soul to own them.

WIG: ... is a dried out crappy wig that makes me head look two inches bigger all around, I know. I hate it. I wouldn't have worn it if I'd have known it would make me look that bad--the worst thing is it was really expensive (for me!) too!

COMPLAINTS: I was spending so much time finishing up my friend's Fuu and Jin costumes, that I really didn't focus as much on mine, or on making something for me that was more costume, less 'let's see what I can make.' I regret not having a better costume, but c'est la vie.

Also, I hate that stupid wig. My head is NOT that big.
