I am back... with... a pickle. I kind of spontaneously decided I wanted to cosplay Anju from Zelda: Majora's Mask.

What I plan to do is make a simple little vest and then play Frankenstein by getting cutting off the sleeves from another shirt and throwing those on my vest. Only problem is, aside from having relatively little idea of what kind of fabric to use on the vest - I was thinking something on the tougher side, maybe a bottomweight or broadcloth - I really can't identify the color of it. All the pictures I find, the walkthroughs I've seen, and the other cosplays I've seen can't quite decide if she's wearing a brown, a reddish brown, or just a dark red. In the game, it almost looks burgundy. I'm so confused. DX
