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!

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!!!
I wish I could make my own outfits like you 🙁 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 ……)
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
