Description Best. Weekend. Ever.
From the 20th to the 22nd of April I attended an event called "Spring ball" held in a wonderful castle/villa near Verona, in the north of Italy.
If I had to call it "fantastic"...it wouldn't be enough to describe how awesome it was. The place was beautiful, I've had the chance to talk with people I can't get a chance to see often, I met a lot of new friends, I learned how to dance valzer, I was dressed like a princess for 3 days...Awesome, really awesome.
I want another event like this as soon as possible!

This is the 3rd dress: the queen gown of Garnet Til Alexandros from Final Fantasy 9.
Ff9 is probably my favourite episode of this series, I've played so many times that I remember half of the speeches I had already done Garnet's normal dress, but my dream was...this.
I searched the internet and the shops here in my city in order to find the perfect cloth (it is wonderfully decorated, though it can be seen in this photo), I sewed almost 150 green gems on the dress...and I'm proud of the final result.
Oh, I can also use my hair for this costume, since mine are long and brown like Garnet's

Dress and accessories made by me
Garnet and Final Fantasy 9 are Β© Square soft

That is a lovely real life sewing of Garnet's dress! Can't wait to see the waltz photos! ^^

Thank you very much!
Unfortunately I don't have any photos of me dancing during that event, but I'll surely take some in the near future

I'm a huge fan of FF and played almost every installment in the series while I was a teen back in the 90s. You seem to have a talent for making dresses, maybe you can make good money as a tailor! ^^

Actually, I'm already trying to make money by accepting sewing commissions, but for now I don't receive many requests

Sì sì, Verona ^^
Grazie mille, questo abito era uno dei miei sogni nel cassetto (in memoria del primo FF a cui ho giocato)

In memoria del mio primo Final Fantasy io vorrei fare Kain, ma chi riesce a fare un'armatura del genere a costi contenuti XD

Purtroppo non ho risposta a questa domanda, anche perchè io sono veramente uno zero in quanto ad armature et similia XD (e difatti i miei costumi sono 100% stoffa XD)
