Another commission. One of those costumes which seem simple enough on the surface but which actually turn out to be a lot trickier than you could ever imagine. The trickiest part of the costume by far was the jacket, which I made from a red suede-like material and which I lined with red satin. I was especially proud of the metal cuffs, which I made from foam and plastic sheeting and painted silver. I made the wrist cuffs out of the same materials and painted them gold. The hair sash I made from the same material as the sundress, and the green "materia" was nothing more than a green plastic Christmas ornament to which I attached a loop of elastic. As a finishing touch, I added a necklace, which was a simple black leather lace tied in a bow. (Don't you wish all costume accessories could be that easy to make?)
