It was super fun to finally do a Card Captor Sakura costume, it was a childhood dream come true. I feel like this was perfect because I wasn't really confident in my abilities to make one of her dresses at the time, so I purchased the school uniform from taobao and made the sealing staff myself. The staff was the first prop I have ever made, I love the way it turned out and I learned so much from it. It was also amazing to get my photos taken at a Sakura Matsuri with the cherry blossoms in full bloom! I can definitely say there will be many more Sakura cosplays, she has so many outfits to choose from!
