I had a lot of fun with this costume! I got to learn something new which is something I strive for in every costume. I'd never done anything to a wig before except for butcher the bangs and add a braid or two. So going into this costume knowing I was going to be cutting long wefts in half, creating wefts from the loose fibers, sew them back in, and have to curl the wig into oblivion I was a little daunted. I'm really pleased with out the wig came out, it makes her a load of fun to wear and everyone really seemed to like how big the hair is.

At first I thought I would use store bought items for the shirt and cardigan but, after further reflection on the characters shape, I realized that I did that I'd be adding too much bulk to myself and wouldn't be able to achieve the smooth shape she has. So I made the cardigan and shirt myself, as one piece. I didn't even bother to draft a pattern for the cardigan, I just chalked it out directly onto the knit fabric. The collar, collar stand, and cuffs were made as if I were going to sew them onto an actual button up shirt but, I sewed them into the cardigan itself.

The skirt and the tie were a breeze. I wish I had measured out my shoelaces properly the first time but I'll correct that before Junko rides again at Anime Expo 2015.
