Unohana Retsu – Bleach – 4th Division
worn at: Anime Expo 2005
Lindze got me hooked on Bleach and it’s been a downhill slope since. I love a ton of the characters, but I wanted to do one with hakama that I thought I could pull off without looking silly.
I bought the hakama, waraji, hakama-shita, and Jake made the sword for me. The obi and captain’s jacket I made (with Twinkle making the iron-ons for the jacket!) The captain’s jackets were patterned from scratch using the hakama-shita as a reference. It was done for a huge Bleach group at AX! Really had a lot of fun, and I look forward to wearing this in the future!
