My ramble about this cosplay:
I absolutely adore Kaoru's fiery personality even if she is a loudmouth, I love that about her~ she reminds me of myself in some ways. I sewed the costume myself & I styled the wig. I'm not to satisfied with how the hakama pants turned out. I wanted to make this costume myself & not buy the clothes so maybe I'll remake the hakama pants someday soon. I know for sure I want to wear this cosplay again but I'd like to make improvements first. I'm also kinda unhappy with how the bangs on the wig turned out. Kaoru's bangs are so fluffy so I teased the bangs a lot & used hairspray but I think they could look better/fluffier! >.<

Bought the wig on E-Bay from user: Wigfashion. I cut & styled the bangs.
Contacts are from color lens 4 less & they are Blue 2 Color Lens.
Bought a pattern for the uwagi top & used polyester fabric.
I used a online tutorial to make the hakama pants. The tutorial can be found here: http://www.andsewingishalfthebattle.com/how-to-make-historically-accurate-hakama ~ used twill fabric.
Bokken (wooden sword) bought on Amazon.com from user: Samurai_Market
Tabi socks bought online from this website: http://www.kimono-yukata-market.com/
Sandals bought on E-Bay from user: kawaiikimono
I used ACE Self-Adhering Elastic Bandages for the sarashi wrapping around my chest.
