Costume pictures!

Edit: For some reason LJ seems to be only letting me put two pictures up, so there are now links to the reference pic and the old Animaritime version of the costume.



Here is the cover of Imadoki vol 1, featuring the shot of the school uniform that I used as my main reference material (I had to go within the pages for shots of the back and a better view of the crest).

Below is how the costume appeared in it's first wearing at Animaritime 2006. I hadn't had enough time to do the smaller details, plus the original bow was done VERY roughly.

Here is how it looks now. As you can see, I made a fair number of changes. The brown section was shortened and all the smaller details were added.

Now, it's not completely done, I'm still missing the piece I want for the little thingy in the middle of the bow (to use the technical term), but essentially this costume is now complete!

*refresh flist* yay pics _^^

Very cute ^_^ I like the crest ^_^

Thanks. I'm really happy with how the crest came out. Only issue I'm having now is that the fabric paint is sticky and can get stuck...I'm thinking if I can get my hands on clear nail polish, I might go over it to try and seal things in.

sounds like a plan, though it might make things stiff... but then again the paint pretty much makes things stiff ^_^
Hairspray might also work.... but would wash off easier.

Hmm...I might actually have hairspray already and I don't have clear nailpolish, unless Margaret has some which is possible.
