Harder work than expected. Could have used more time and concentration on this costume. Was finished in a hurry and looks awful from inside.
Right bracelet was lost and the entire costume wouldn't stay on.
Good looking, but still not enough.

Project START! 22/02/2012Today we went to a fabric shop to gather all the fabrics I need in order to make this costume. Turned out that only things I need now is the feathers and wristbands & hairbands.
Today I went to the shop again with my mother and we bought the last things I needed and which also could be bought from there. There's still one or two things that need to be bought from somewhere else; like from Tiimari, Suomalainen Kirjakauppa or INFO.
I'm gonna have to wait just a little longer now, because mother took the sewing machine with her in order to shorten her new jeans. I also can buy that paper after 4th of March since I'm all broke now and there's no budget on this month to use for this costume xD So, I'll be back with this costume, when its time comes. 'till then, Take care you guys! o/
~Raura Long time no see! 13/05/2012Sorry for not updating this page and project information, but it is going and going good~! See? It's already abou 70% done!It's been over a year when I bought that orange satin, but now I finally managed to use it in a purpose I planned. The costume itself has now only a few hard parts, but I hope I'll manage to beat those up in some point soon.
First off I'm going to start with the problem I saw before even starting the sewing: the bracelets and those ponytail-hair-piece-thingies. Where the F am I going to find them? Well, the hair thingaly thingies I've found! By luck!
I'm still looking for the bracelets.. If you have any idea how to find or make these bracelets, PLEASE let me know! Every time I see this version of Ling's costume, they always make the bracelets from something weird stuff, that completely doesn't look what it should look like. Those ponytails were just luck... I wonder will lady luck help me twice.
The second problem I came across was the chest thingy. Nobody has posted any ready-to-use pictures of it, so I had to re-do it from a scratch. And I somewhat did it! And since I'm kind enough, I let you guys have the full-sized picture of it :3 Click to see it in real size! And here's some pictures during the time of sewing and progress~
Next thing to do after finishing sewing was to transfer that picture from computer to my costume. How did I do that? I bet you all already know.
Aaand after I had ironed it, I think the picture went a bit too high... see for yourself or have I been with this costume for too long? XD
Still have to work on those feathers, pants, bracelets and shoes! And time is running out T___T Desucon is right behind the corner! Wish me luck though, and help me to figure out those bracelets!
Love yah! ~Raura Way too long time period between these updates! 25/06/2012The costume was finally finished and I'm not happy with the result. I really didn't get any pictures of the costume before I dyed my hair from black to something else. Only some random photographers in Desucon wanted to have my picture and here's one of them.

...my eyes are derping, right shoe falling off, right bracelet missing and hairdo failing. Pretty much everything was awful, but I was lucky enough so there was nobody else cosplaying this costume but me :3
