This was my very first cosplay. Needless to say, the results were not amazing. :-\
I made identical costumes for a friend and myself, and we wore them to PCM '04.
In 2005, my little sister re-wore that same sailor fuku to AB '05, as a different character from the D.C. Da Capo series.
In addition, that outfit has been worn to two school spirit week events, and it's twin has been worn trick-or-treating.
My first little attempts at cosplay have done me well over the years, and after a long line of wear, it was honorably retired after Anime Boston 2005.
