/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Natsuki, from Summer Wars, at Anime Boston last month. Finally made my first kimono -- though it's almost completely covered by my (bought) hakama. Ah well. I've wanted to make a kimono for cosplay for years now, so I'm glad I got the chance. And the recognition-by-others to cosplayed-by-others ratio was perfect for me. Feels good for my first time not cosplaying as a matched pair with my con-buddy.

Things I'm proud of:
>fully-lined sleeves
>finding knee-high boots that fit my fat calves
>accuracy (solid colors are great)

Things I need to work on:
>remaking the ears (currently just Sharpie on blue felt, glued onto pink felt. Looks pretty fake)
>lining the rest of the kimono (ran out of time to line more than the sleeves)
>actually remaking the kimono body since I somehow fucked up the measurements the first time around
