Because I can't get enough aidorus. Maki quickly became one of my favorite anime characters ever, and is definitely one I relate to very much. Super excited to represent Love Live at Anime Expo this summer!

This was overall pretty easy to pattern out, it was just tricky figuring out exactly how long I wanted the shirt and where the skirt waist should sit. The skirt has a weird inside waistband since all of the art of the girls shows NO waistband. Half of the ruffles I made by hand and half were bought pre-made ruffles (that are admittedly too white for the shirt fabric but oh well). I for some reason made the suspenders out of vinyl and while one came out ok the second I just could not get to work. I almost ditched them but they match my cute gloves (which were purchased). The bows I made using leet skills I picked up doing several sailor fukus with Sparklepipsi the bow master.
