This costume was worn at A-kon 17 and Anime Fest 2006. It was my first costume after recycling costumes for two years because of my mother's carpal tunnel and, well, one of us can't make the costume without the other. I'm very pleased with how this came out. Save the fact that I hadn't worn a mini skirt since I was in third grade, it was very comfortable. :D

The buttons were all hand painted by me and the cross was also done by hand by me. I'd've used sculpty, but I'm bad at sculpting
