Iroha

First convention worn to: Anime Detour 2005
Contruction time: 40hrs

Why I made this costume:
If you haven't realized yet, I love group cosplays. I will cosplay pretty much anything you put infront of me if theres a big group going. So this costume was actually my first group. Paul asked me to sew him an Ereki costume and happened to mention that if I liked Iroha so much I should I should cosplay with him. I did, and this is the handy work.

How I made it:
I'm not going to lie, I wasn't nearly skilled enough to make this costume when I did, and thus I wasted a lot of money when I had to start over. I really should have had a little more experiance, but you know, in the end i learned a lot from this costume just trying to do it on my own. I really like how it turned out and I'm really sad it will never be finished. The skirt for the costume was lost in a move.

Post Convention thoughts:
It was fun to wear, and most people knew who I was! Looking back I probably would have gotten a shorter wig, it looked good, but was just way to tangly all day. I think with the design of the costume a little shorter would have worked better.
