OMG FINALLY!!!!! It's about time I got to do Yuna. I'll get the most common outfits done first and then go from there.

Cosplay Construction: Here's her Gunner outfit. The shirt itself was a huge challenge, but I got it together. It's a stretch material that was a solid color, but had a texture on the front side, so I had to reverse it to get a plain side. The hot pink aspect is made from fleece fabric. The shirt was a handmade tube top that was modified into the actual shirt and had small elastic cord to tie it on me. The Zanarkand symbol made of layered masking tape that was painted black and then hot glued to the center of her shirt. Lastly, the yellow part is actually ribbon carefully sewn onto it. It literally took me 5-6 hours and the symbol by itself took 2-3 hours. So a total of 9 hours, just for the shirt.
     In terms of the hood, I used an online tutrial to create a hood by itself and is made of hot pink fleece fabric, just like the bottom part of my shirt. It took me, 5-6 to create.

     When It came to the belt and pouch, I had to create those separately. I first created the pouch, It's made of fake suede fabric. Then I used cardboard and painted some Model Magic for it's little decoration. When that was done, I then started on the belt. Since it hung off her hip a little bit, I had to go a little below my belly button it measured 35". I used that measurement and used 18 gauge craft wire to create the rings. The pieces of the belt was then hot glued to the rings and I created my own belt buckle out of 16 gauge wire. I lastly used felt fabric and hot glue pieces for the decoration of the belt. The pouch by itself took 2 hours to make and the belt by itself took 3 hours to make. So they both together took 5 hours to make.

     The half-skirt was relatively difficult to deal with, but not that bad. It's made of baby blue cotton fabric that the top parts of each section was dyed in Royal Blue Rit Dye fabric dye, the liquid version. It measures to a 37" waist, but it fits my size 30 1/2" waist perfectly. The top strap part of the half skirt was also dyed in Royal Blue Rit Dye fabric dye. It took me a total of 10 1/2 to 11 hours to make.

     In terms of the shorts..... ugh! Those dreaded boy shorts. It took me 2 to 3 trys and still didn't fit me right because it kept showing bits of my butt cheeks and I didn't like it. They took me 5 hours each to create and I unfortunately had to make do with JC Penney bought boy shorts that had to be hemmed up to where they were visually correct without my butt cheeks showing.

     For my guns, I originally used a tutorial that was provided at Cosplay.com, but I had to tweek the materials little bit. They're made of cardboard and modeling clay. Lastly they were painted with acrylic paints. Each gun took a total of 4 hours to make, which gives them a total of 8 hours for the both guns.

    For the earrings, I don't have peirced ears so I bought some clip ons when you create clip on earrings and the beads themselves are made out of Model Magic, with some them painted. Each earrring took 2-3 hours to make, which in total is up to 6 hours. For the arm bands, they are yellow broadcloth cotton fabric and I had some leftover black ribbon for the ties. they each fit at 10 1/2" arm circumfrence and they each took an 1 hour to create, which is 2 hours in total.

     The braclet that she wears only took 2-3 seconds and was made out of leftover boy short material with velcro to attach. Lastly, the pony tail was commissioned the the lovely caineyamiyasha, whose actually at Cosplay.com. In terms of her necklace, it was bought over Amazon.com and her boots were bought over HotTopic.com

So the overall time for the construction of Gunner Yuna is 47 hours and 3 seconds
