Rinoa ~Final Fantasy VIII~
Constructed: Sept 2004

Why I picked this:

I found the perfect fabric for this costume on a trip to the fabric store, I skipped over it the first time thinking I wouldn't want to cosplay as her anyways. Well after working very hard on my Mithra RSE, I decided I need an easy costume to do, so I went back for the fabric

How I made it:

I didn't have a pattern for any of this. I just played it by ear. the duster I cut and modified until it fight right. the skirt was actually a very dark navy which I took the dye out of. I plan on adding the gradiance to the skirt, but I didn't have time to do it before Anime Iowa. The shorts gave me some trouble because the zipper kept stretching the fabric.

Once I was done with the costume I liked it a lot. I think I'll keep it incase any of my friends want to come to a con with me. Cause I never seem to have time to make costume for them.

You'll get pictures as soon as I do a shoot, didn't get any at AI
