Yeah I noticed the soul gem and stuff are on the wrong side ;A; for some reason my right curl is screwed up so my left side looks better lskdjfsdl

I will be wearing this at Smash Sydney 2012! Come say hi if you see me guys~!

There isn't a full body shot that I'm happy with but here is a little about the costume:

I made the whole thing from scratch (apart from boots. The guns are borrowed from the beautiful - gonna make my own some day)

The shirt is altered from a blouse paper pattern - It had puffy sleeves and everything so it was perfect. The arm warmers are made like the vocaloid ones but with gathering at the end to make it puffy - its actually way too small on me LOLOL my hands are way too wide to stuff through the armholes ;A;

You can't see it here but the corset is also made from scratch - I drafted up a pattern on illustrator following an underbust corset tutorial i found on the internet and added boning and a zipper down the front... SO PROUD! Will post pictures when I wear it next time~~

Skirt is a simple circle skirt... so dodgy ;A; nothing lines up but it gets covered by the corset thank god.

Shoes I actually bought off taobao (Worked out cheaper than actually buying material and making boot cover/altering an actual pair of boots) they aren't the BEST looking boots but hey, they work, and are cheap. SHHHH.

Soul Gem, beret and the fluff hair pieces are made by me. I had some gems from my matryoshka costume lying around so I made a flower shape (i know, not accurate, but it looks nice. 8D), stuck them onto some wooden flower shapes I had and painted gold. The petals are just cardboard strips (SO CHEAP LOL)

The fluffy bit is just a short section of a feather boa stuck onto a hairclip.
