Construction Details:

♥~Top~♥
I made the tops from a really nice black cotton-poly blend that matches the hakama and the white is a stretch poplin. They were really simple to make and are very long. The white under-layer shirt was lined.

♥~Sash~♥
A simple sash made from white twill.

♥~Hakama~♥
Purchased because the cost of making them compared to the cost of purchasing them weighed with the time I actually had to make them made this the logical choice.

♥~Tabi Socks & Sandals~♥
The tabi socks were purchased from a local martial arts store. The sandals were found locally although they are not 100% accurate. I tried to make a pair but they came out way too small.

♥~Hair pins~♥
They are official US release merchandise.

Personal Thoughts:

When I was first watching Bleach, I felt a connection to Orihime; she is probably one of the anime characters that I am most similar to, sometimes to the point of being a little freaky. XD

I chose to do the "in-disguise" version since I already had the hakama from my Soi Fong cosplay, and I since I had cosplayed as Hitsugaya, I already had the tops and sash made.
