aimeekittyweeeell, this is what about a day and a half of work looks like. This is Noriko from From Far Away. (PS, No, I will not be using a wig for this costume... as her hair is longer sometimes. I think I will give myself some epic 80's bangs, though.)
The only thing left is the closure on the front of the red outer gown and Mitch's tunic, both sets of shoes, ... and perhaps some pants for Mitch. I like the Heidi-esque trim I picked for the red dress. It was pretty fabulous, too, that I had enough fabric and wigs lying around that the only thing I bought was the trim, pretty much. (Even those gold triangles are left over from some Utena costume...)
... Pretty happy with the fit of the bodice, I think...? I might use it as a basis for some of the sundresses I've been meaning to make. We'll see. There are a few rough patches.
I think we can be entirely sure that pretty much no one will know who we are. Haha, whatever. From Far Away is a great manga.

Date: 2010-03-14 06:13 am (UTC)I don't cosplay but I once made myself a couple stuffed animal Chimo I filled with beans and would pin to my shoulder for cons.

I'm hoping to pull a similar "let's see who knows this manga" thing for Y-Con, but I have to convince D that it's good idea XD
