Welcome to my first sewn costume. I had leftover pink, yellow, and turquoise fabric (from Honey and Fai, respectively). I had a ton of Heat-n-Bond from finishing the back of my Fai coat (which I never did). The only thing I actually bought specifically for this costume was the headband, which was under a dollar.

I ironed the dress several times during the con, but that flannel will wrinkle at the drop of a hat. The applique started coming off around the edges, so I had to hot glue it down. (I hate Heat-n-Bond now. Ultra Hold my ass.) I didn't really know what I was doing with the neckline and armholes, either.

Anyhoo, enough about the construction, onto the character. Mandy is this fabulous misanthropist from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy on Cartoon Network. She's adorable and evil. Unfortunately, I come off as more emo than evil in most of my pictures. Oh, well. I'll work on posing for AX. (And I'll make my eyebrows mu~uch thicker and blacker.)
