***I wore the eyepatch over the wrong eye for this photoshoot ***

I loved the Rozen Maiden series, and after reading the manga, I fell in love with the character and look of Kirakishou. I copied the design from the dollfie doll and loved how it came out. Unfortunately, this is one of those costumes where I get asked "who is your character?" a lot, but I still love it.

Kirakishou Costume: From the top down....The wig (style named Rose)was purchased from Cosworx, and maaay need a few wefts added to it. The white color makes it slightly translucent and is kinda distracting in the back where you can see the wefts...I took two fabric roses, popped off the stems and stitched them onto two silver barrettes. (I reinforced the roses with hot glue, just in case they decided to fall apart without their stems). The eyepatch was hotglued onto a satin patch that had two holes poked into it. I threaded clear fishing wire through those holes and used those and hair pins to secure the rose to my wig, thus covering my right eye. I freedrafted the choker and lattice styled chestpiece myself. (the lattice is attached to the corset with velcro. Velcro is also what holds the choker closed) The corset was made from a Burda patten (style #8601), and is made from 2 layers of bridal satin (one layer being too see through). It's boned with featherweight boning, and lined with costume satin. The ruffles were two seperate premade strips, I just sewed them together and inserted them into the seams before I stitched everything closed. The sleeves were drafted from a Simplicity pattern (#2832), and are also two laters of bridal satin (with the exception of the chiffon sleeve). The skirt was from a Burda pattern (style #8175), modified to reflect the petaling of the skirt. (I wanted it to look like the Kirakishou dolls at:[[link] ). I ordered the boots online, from Amazon.com, but am on the lookout for ones without the large stiletto and platform heel.....
