This costume took a surprisingly long time to finish, mostly because it took me a long time to order the biggest zippers I could find. It was started in the summer of 06, then put away for a while, and then finished in the spring/summer of 07. It was originally made to go with a cosplay group my friends and I were going to make, but my two friends couldn't get their costumes started.

Out of Riku's costumes, this is one of my least favorites, but I'm still glad I made it. There are some parts that could have come out better, but all in all I'm proud of it. I've only worn it once, however, and now the wig I use for it is being styled for a different character, so I'm not sure how much more use this costume will get.
