This is my planned cosplay for the 2016-17 year. Sakura has been a long time favorite, and her outfit variations have always seemed like a lot of fun to make. It's a bit of a childhood dream come true to be finally making this!
This costume will consist of a petticoat, a red dress with 2 additional white skirts,small wings, a white blouse, the large front bow, a hat, a Kero-chan plushy, and the magic wand. (That's the plan anyways!)
I'm pretty proud of my Kero-chan plushie! I'm still not super good at making plushies, so I was a bit worried. After adjusting where his eyes are sewn, I'm really happy with him! The dress is also really comfy and easy to wear! I added some interfacing to the shoulders and a lining to help give it some support for the 3 skirts, I'm not too worried about the shoulders being over stretched now. The wand is made of 2 connecting pieces of PVC pipe with styrofoam-clay-mache ends. I'm still trying to figure out prop building...
I just need the shoes and gloves now...
