Construction Details:

For the Chicago Cosplay Club picnic, my friend Megan and I decided we wanted to pull together some last minute costumes for the gathering. Thinking that the school uniforms of Kairi and Selphie would be one of our easiest options, I put my love of Selphie before my pride and agreed. Unfortunately, this project was NOT as stress-free as we imagined. Because we're both detail-oriented to a fault, we decided to paint the plaid onto our skirts. Although we had seen warnings from other Kairi and Selphie cosplayers about how much time this took, we did it anyway and spent nearly 10 horus painting 6 yards of blue broadcloth. Never again. I made the shoes using the front of clown shoes as the toe and keds/slippers as the base. I covered the shoes in a really nice black denim and used craft foam to make a more stable bottom. In the end, the shoes were difficult to walk in but very comfortable and held up surprisingly well!
