Pictures, yes! We must have pictures!

Looking forward to the results, whenever they happen!

Bad news... it turns out that they are currently unavailable and they will email me if they can get another one.

So I'll continue to keep my eyes peeled.

Of course this means they have my credit card # now... >.<

(ah the horrors of internet shopping).

So just keep an eye on your CC statement then.

Of course I will (I do every month anyways).

It just makes me a bit nervous sometimes, but I've also been in contact with them so I'm not forseeing any issues.

Hmm, most impressive... I had almost forgotten about those Kaname/Sousuke uniforms being sold on eBay... Now they have Tessa's. Interesting. Very interesting.

I saw Kaname's and Tessa's on ebay, but the pic of Kaname's was angled and it was hard to see the details (I happen to be the picky type...

) Tessa's is missing some details (and if you notice, the mithril badge has been erased out of the anime picture and does not appear on the costume, nor does the collar pin).

Although I've had great dealings with ebay sellers, I'm forever a cautious one.

P.S. I was talking about hunny_lee's btw

This me in front of the ADV booth yay! So this is the first time I had ever made a costume or anything really >> but yeash and I didnt have time for a wig or anthing.

This is Vic!! He plays the voice of Kurz in FMP and he does a lot of other voices too. He signed my fan >< How awesome is that? Its on my wall now ^^

This was your first time making a costume?! That's great! I'm really impressed!

Did you use a pattern by chance? Or did you make your own? I love your picture with Vic! I wish I was smart enough to have brought a camera when I met everyone.

I have the materials for Kaname's blue dress, but I wont have a place to put it together until after we move (our area is a wreck with boxes and everything everywhere!

)

Thank you so much for the pictures!

I had a pattern for a skirt and one for a jacket, and then i altered them to the best of my ability. I also measured some stuff wrong and did my best to fix it, but thank you! I learned a lot about sewing and what not and it was a lot of fun ><

I am already excited for next year!

Are you planning on making any more costumes by chance? I think you have some talent brewing here!

Which con were you at by the way?

Umm I was at Anime Expo this past July. I was planning on making more costumes, well, I am trying to make other stuff too. I want to learn to make my own clothing. But things only go so quickly when your in school and trying to teach yourself.

I have a whole line of costumes planned, but I'm in the same boat as you (but instead of school now, it's working for a living). I've found making your own clothes can be cheaper. More power to you and good luck!

Thanks! More power to you too!! ^^
