I did a fair amount of stuff I’m pretty happy with this year! I’d wanted a regency, specifically one out of saree fabric for a while. Went to my first Regency event. Cosplayed in an amazing location (Hanfu cosplay at the Summer Palace in China!) which was a dream come true for me! Made my first historical handsewn dress and attended the amazing GBACG Petit Trianon Evening. Finally wore the oiran-esque hair extensions I got in Tokyo a few years ago for another Yuuko cosplay, with full sakura action! Yay! Annie took awesome Doctor Who photos of me in an abandoned oil refinery! And Mitch and I had way too much fun wearing Rapunzel and Flynn any chance we could get. I think Rapunzel is my favorite costume I made this year, which is funny because I was very hesitant to make it because I don’t think I look that much like Rapunzel and I’m really too tall for the character! But I had so much fun making it and I really enjoyed twirling around in a pink dress in a wig with flowers all over it.
STUFF I’D LIKE TO GET PHOTOS OF:
– Kitsune mask with a pile of kimonos. 🙂
– Fujimoto
– Doomsday Doctor Who
– More Oil Refinery fun!
