Rinoa in her Dion Rogers design is so sexy! My first Rinoa cosplay has retired, and I was up for a bigger challenge! I made this cosplay for a cosplay event in my hometown sometime last year and I hand knitted and sewed this costume last minute! This took 4 days to complete considering my work schedule and I finished it just in time for the event! It was very easy to make, though I will admit it was quite tedious, but the hard work certainly paid off!
