vintage-aerith as my lovely and flustered Claus~
So this costume, man...
Mostly it was easy, just a jacket and skirt made out of a vaguely canvas like fabric edged with bias tape.
Except:
- I sewed the sleeves onto the jacket before I put the design on them (and then insisted upon doing it without head and bond).
- I didn't have time to get a zipper for the back of the skirt, so it's held up with bobby pins.
- The collar is too long and I didn't have time to sew a hook to make it sit right.
- The collar is completely undecorated.
Why, you ask? Because I put this little lady off for a long time, for whatever reason, and ended up doing most of this in two nights. *sob*
But I am SO GLAD I did. <3
(Also I really like this hairstyle, and I finally learned how to French braid because of it!)
And poor Claus haha. That cosplayer has the perfect look of horror/confusion
And doesn't she? xD
