*anime next 2007 -

top - made it instead of buying it. was rather easy... i just screwed up on the pattern though lol.

pants - sweat pants which was shortened

shoes - i bought a pair of really cheap sandals/flipflops from walmart and ripped off the throngs. i sewed the rest of the shoe then hot glued it to the flipflops. i get in and out of the sandles through velcrow in the back. sandals go almost near my knees.

rope - regular rope dyed purple

sword - foamboard with a wooden dowel in the middle. fiberglassed and bondoed. still had little uneven-ness in it when i wore it... didn't finish the sheath...

*otakon 2007 - costume did not change. sword was still a bit uneven and sheath was still not finished. but i got my wires so i could do the whole body chidori.
