Debut: Summer GAnime 2015
The wig in early photos are a stand in (I used my Grell wig and put it up in a ponytail using a hair clip.
Hair sticks are a craft dowel cut in half and painted yellow. They were cut by my friend Zandreth.
Hair clip is made out of plywood, cut by my mother on the scroll saw, and then hand painted by me. It's mounted onto a barette clip using hot glue.
The neck piece is broadcloth and inside is solari, used in oven mitts to prevent burns. The details are done in white bias tape and burgundy ribbon.
Bikini top is made out of spandex, with solari inside to help maintain support and comfort. I made the straps wider and thicker to ensure added comfort and make sure nothing would slip or come undone. The flames are hand sewn onto the cups, and the straps are all hand sewn on. This was the most time consuming part of the cosplay.
The gloves are made of similar spandex to the bikini top, and are made to fit my hands only. Updated version will include the pieces at the wrists that I ran out of time to make.
Shorts are made of stretch pleather and fitted to me. Belt is just a stand-in until I get a better one.
The neon pink fishnet tights in debut photos are stand-ins, as the ones I ordered for Yoko did not arrive in time for Summer GAnime. But they worked.
Boots are a pair of Aldo boots I found at a Goodwill in Mississauga in April 2014. I cut down the sides to the appropriate spot. The flames are drawn on with permanent marker and Copics. Zipper pieces and pulls are done with craft foam, spray painted silver and hot glued into place.
