This Costume took a very long time. I made every component from scratch. I altered a pattern for the jacket and made my own patterns for everything else. I am very happy with how the costume turned out. I used my real hair as well and even that didn't look too bad. You can't see it well in the pictures, but my hair was actually dark plum/purple. I found the perfect shoes for the cosplay at Building 19 1/2! And I think they are my favorite part! They are so cute!
