Construction Details:

All parts of the outfit that required sewing were done by me. I admittedly had no idea how to approach this outfit since there were such limited pictures, but I tried to make do with what was available and I think it came out alright. I used fabrics that were already in my closet and waved it off with the idea that I was doing custom colors LOL.



My favorite part of the outfit was something I decided to add on as a last-minute detail: the clouds that were hand painted on the front and back of the shirt. I guess they could be seen as stylistic clouds, but I messed up with painting them in several spots and I tried to fix it by adding more paint, which came out as my own stylistic clouds in the end, haha.



I was debating on leaving the top unfitted as so many other cosplayers did before, but having the top fitted made it a lot easier to pose in kicks since there was less fabric flapping around.

Personal Thoughts:

This was made for the Ragnarok World Championship 2011 contest! I have a Taekwon Ranker in iRO and I wanted to bring her to life, but rather than buy new fabrics I settled with what was available in the closet, and in doing so I had to veer away from how she looked like already (she has the alternate color in game). Then I had to use my real hair for easier shooting (my character has the pink buns hairstyle), and choose a much simpler hat to wear for practicality (she has a Magistrate Hat, Sigrun Wings, and Pirate Dagger). In the end, it came out to be a far cry from what I intended but I like to think that the spirit is still there!<br />

The skirt proved to be an issue during the kicks since it provided little coverage with the kicks (and it was really lightweight), but BigWhiteBazooka made it work out... ^^;;
