Created in 2008. Worn to Anime Weekend Atlanta 2008 and Anime South 2008. Won the award "Best Video Game" at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2008 with Yashuntafun.
Everything was made by me except the wig, which was a styling commission from Amanda/Kichara. This costume was constructed over a 3-week period. I used commercial patterns for the skirt and bodice; all others were hand-drafted. The skirt, shawl, head scarf and bodice were made from suede. Sleeves and apron were gabardine, and the black spikey under top was made of a stretch material. It was my first time making a boned bodice, and I used plastic sew-in boning. Mary (vampirate) taught me how to sew the boning and make laceup loops in the back for waist cinching. Various details on the costume were hand sewn and/or painted with acrylics.
