Me as Yuuko Ichihara
Source: XXXHolic
Photographed by: ~solartempest at Youmacon 2011

I completely handpainted all the swirly clouds just like the artwork this was based off of. A lot of people were amazed I did that, and some thought I had bought fabric that looked like it. I also upgraded this costume from the first time I wore it at Otakuthon. A lot of the handsewn parts I kept because I figure it looks pretty good, so why rip it apart right? I did resew certain parts where the handsewing was too loose.

Walking in the super tall platform heels I modded was also a challenge. For the con I brought a regular pair of pumps to walk around in, and only wore the platforms for photos or walking short distances.

I redid the wig since it got damaged by American customs, but it looks neater now anyways. I also redid the way all the hair thingies/antlers are attached to the wig. I'm using a grid system of velcro and everything stayed in place all day with no adjustment required :D. It was also incredible balanced so I experienced minimal scalp pain for the most part.

WHY IS MOKONA WHITE? I'm getting this question a lot, and all I have to say is the reference image this costume was based on, had a white mokona by her side. I have both white and black mokonas.

Feel free to ask questions, leave a comment, or even connect with me on my Facebook Cosplay Page. I'm on there A LOT [link]

It's really neat how much a change in background makes the red parts of your costume and your contacts super POP! You've got an awesome Yuuko vibe... like, you channel that sereneness really well. If that makes sense. :S

I haven't kept in contact with the boys anymore. Domeki was maru's boyfriend and "they broke up badly." and the other guy just sorta drifted away. But I don't doubt we can get a full cast again with the amount of people we know XD I will want to remake my kimono since it was one of our first works lol

And noooo too far away! You know i'm in lil kentucky. But I go to both youmacon and Acen! those are the closest ones we get to the border
