Yay! The finished products 
I think like every other cosplayer, I can see the flaws and I just hope you guys can’t! I haven’t had an official shoot with either costume, so for now they won’t be appearing in their own gallery on Extreme Motion. I need to wait for warmer weather because I was literally freezing in all these photos hehe.

I can’t wait for warmer weather for this photo! I have a ton of ideas! But more importantly, I can’t wait till my Fuu and Umi are with me to do our official shoot!
Xiao Qiao
The fans! Oh, the relentless “fan” puns I got that day <3 There is a ton of detail missing from this costume, I really hope I finish it off before I get to my shoot~ These fans are not wind friendly (they hit me in the face several times), but they are very light and sturdy! Let's face it, awesome fans -made- this costume =D
Hope you enjoyed my costumes for Manifest 2010! Will annouce it here when I get my galleries for them on Extreme Motion up! Now it’s pretty much back to work for me, and hopefully once I have some time to recover (and catch up at work), I’ll be back on the sewing machine to bring you some new costumes 
Seriously, why can’t making costumes BE my job!?
compliments to the photographer on the last photo, that’s amazing depth-of-field use =)
Aww! Thank you ~~ much love and credit goes to Toby
Wow, you look beautiful! Both of your costumes are amazing! What sort of fabric did you use for Xiao Qiao? Silk? I really love the dyed effect.
Thanks so much!! Must get started on my plugsuit soon
I used something called Cotton Sateen, a blend of cotton and satin. It has a slight sheen from the satin and the cotton keeps it breathable and allows it to hold the dye 
I like that it has some thickness to it too for a bit of warmth 
You look so awesome!!!
And I also wish that I could’ve seen you at Manifest so that I could’ve gotten photos with/of you xD ! I was lazy and just bought my outfits >< I might try and make mine next year (? hopefully it isn't a disaster ……)
I wish I could make my own outfits like you
Aww thank you! I would have loved to have met you
Making costumes is so much fun, I’m sure you’ll be great at it! <3
Late on the commenting yet again but I love love love them!
You’ve been busy! Writing this book I’m dying to read
Thank you so much <3
