This cosplay was another duo with my friend Kirra - she did Kanata. We sourced materials together and sewed nearly everything together, just doing finishing touches on our own. This is one of my biggest sewing projects to date, and I would not have finished if not for Kirra! While the costume is straightforward all the trims, layers and details made it a very big build and fortunately with two of us we were able to production line things. For example, Kirra painted the small flowers for us and I constructed the tricolour ribbons.

For reference, this costume consists of:

• White top, which is a cheap singlet top with added handmade tricolour ribbon, chiffon ruffles, neck ribbon, buttons and flowers.

• Three layer orange skirt with gold ribbon trimmed rainbow tulle overlay

• Flower belt with hanging ribbons, once again constructed from multiple ribbons

• Beaded belt (bless Kirra, she made these for both of us)

• Hair clip, wristcuffs and garters (not pictured because they wouldn't stay up!)

• Customised shoes (painted and flowered) with handmade straps with flower decorations

• White thigh-highs - the only thing we just purchased and wore
