Thanks! She definitely looks gorgeous! We just need to get the kenshin Tomoe thing to work! We never seem to hit the snow just right!

By the way, what cons are you going too?

Augh, it just makes me so happy to see the character done so well. I know that sounds corny, but it's true.

I'm planning on going to Fanime Con next summer and also hope to attend Wonder Con, and then there's always the chance of going to smaller cons, such as Sac Con. I stick to Californian cons because my job/school makes it hard to travel.

Not sure if I should ask you or xXbrokenmemoriesXx (depends who made the clothing)... Did you use a pattern for the clothes, or did you make them on your own? If you made them from scratch, I bow to your sewing talent.

...Heck, I bow to it anyway.

If you used a pattern though, where might I find a copy of that pattern? I'm looking at cosplaying Kenshin at a con next year, and I vastly prefer making my costumes to purchasing them.

Feel free to note me or just reply. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Elrowiel In reply to Usei [2009-12-26 03:36:48 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I made the Kenshin costume. It's acutally very basic. Japanese clothing is just a series of rectangles. I base most of my Kimono things (FGi, Furisode, and underkimono) on a simplicuty pattern (4080). I alter it depending on what I will be using it for. But for a quick and cheap base it's the best (you can get a more acurate one from Folk Patterns). For the Hakama (Pants) I used a pattern from Folk Patterns. Hakama, are basicly rectangles that you mark for pleating and such. The marks are done in accordance with your measurements and there is not much of a paper patern for it.

Awwww...You're making me blush! Thank you!
If you need more details, or instructions...let me know!

I'm glad you like it so much! It was a very spontaneous picture (We were walking across the bridge to get to somewhere else, I turned and snapped the picture. I'm amazed it turned out so well!).
