Name: Sakura
Series (Manga): Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
Worn at: Halloween JPop Dance 2004 & Halloween 2004
Fave Part: finding a good use for my brand new boots X3
Why: I didn't really want to wear an old costume to the dance so I looked for something relatively simple to do. This one seemed simple (though for someone at my low skill level, it really wasn't x_x).
Comments: The costume looks fairly "easy" to do, if I say so myself, but it really wasn't. ~_~ One of the most annoying parts was the collar. I was being nitpicky about how there's no seams shown in the original image and just had to make it that way. I made a mistake when measuring the top part and it also ended up being tighter (in the arms) than it should've been, plus I had no idea how to make puffed sleeves or a full skirt with crinoline. Despite lacking all that and all those errors, I rather love the dress and would love to wear it for a photoshoot with my Syaoran<3 ^_^ When I wore it for Halloween, I also donned a witch hat just to pass myself off as that. The hat fell off countless number of times (I stopped counting after fifteen) so I didn't bother with it after a while. Since I didn't wear my apron that time, I was deemed a pilgrim by practically everyone that saw me after. ^_^*
