My good friend wanted to cosplay Captain Unohana, so I decided to be her Lieutenant. Then our other friend made Hanataro! So we had a mini Squad 4 group. :)

We bought toy samurai swords at the Halloween store. I made the custom character guards for us all out of cardboard and craft foam and super glue. We painted them then wrapped the hilts with ribbon, using Laitz's tutorial: http://laitz.deviantart.com/gallery/34678348#/d1gzyzs

My lieutenant badge was also made from cardboard and plastic that was hot-glued then hand painted.

I Sewed the hakama pants first, using the Lastwear pattern as a general guide. http://lastwear.deviantart.com/gallery/5355334#/d1h7hlg

For the top(s) we modified a kimono pattern that I borrowed from Carladawn.

The wig and hair clip extensions I bought from wigfashion's ebay. Then trimmed, styled and beaded. Beads were hot-glued onto the hair.

Our Hanataro hand wove our shoes from hemp cord. By now we had run out of time to make the tabi, so we just wore socks.

My earrings were also a last minute effort and were made out of craft foam and wire attached to a clip-on base (since my ears are not pierced).
