So, this outfit is 2 years in the making. 8'D It was meant to be for Rika's CF Dissidia group (and then the Wai-Con Dissidia group...), and look at what has happened now! :3

I will be remaking parts of this outfit (NEEDS MOAR LINING AND BIAS TAPE) and making the staff for a proper shoot, but I feel I must put something up now so I can have a proper crediting and thanking post.

Thank you very much to :iconwakaleo: for letting me join you in your (sort of) last cosplay! *honoured* Best Judge Gabranth ever. \o/ And thank you :iconamenokitarou: for cosplaying tiems and for keeping me company while I finished last-minute stuffs and giving me tips on doing things better. :)

Thank you also to:
:iconowiegunyah: for her lovely wig THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY ASS OTL
:iconpsycho-kyugurl: for drafting and cutting my coat patterns and shoe covers!
:iconzuzumoo: for altering my inner coat to make it fit me better!
:iconsorceressmoonblader: for drafting and cutting out my shoe covers! And all the lovely photography <3
:iconrisachantag: for Lisatography goodness! \o/
:iconraspipop: for bobby pin and hair bits attaching!


If I forgot to credit you for something or some part please let me know so I can edit it in. OTL I apologise for my oversight, lack of sleep has made me forgetful! @@a

I made everything else myself. :) So I'm pretty chuffed about that! First time working with craft foam (DON'T LAUGH AT ME PLS) and I handsewed a lot of it together, so I am satisfied. Less UHU glue used than you would expect.

The main blue and white cloth and all the bias tape were bought in 2009. The top coat and pants were cut out then and I made the cuffs back then too, but I had a lot of altering to do this year. @@ Apparently back then I didn't know about scaling proportions?! So my sleeve cuffs were twice as long as they are in the picture. Lots of unpicking... I also had to recut the actual sleeves since I made them too short.

I'm particularly proud of my pants, which you can't see in this pic. 8') Yay. They're lined with separated compartments for my thighs and calves so I can put bubblewrap into them. 8D THICK TREETRUNK LEGS FTW. I can bend my knees in them! Although I walk like a duck. I am also wearing a petticoat underneath the striped coat... Yeah, Shantotto's pretty floofy. I'm still a bit too tall for her, but such is life. XD;

In all, I'm actually glad I took so long to get round to doing her. I don't think I would have done her justice two years back. :)
