I can't help but like Karako's character. She is a strong, independent and reliable woman. She reminds me of Yoruichi ;) A quick and simple costume to make.

The top and pants were made with cotton and the patterns were hand painted with fabric paint. For the top I added darts under the breast since the fabric I used was non stretch.
Necklace charm was made with sculpey.
Collar is a foam floral ring with layers of gesso, paint, and sealer.
