Construction Details:

The dress is made of a cotton knit, which I dyed purple using Rit Dye. All of the white parts (apron, shawl, underskirt, cuffs, headband) are kona cotton and were free-patterned. My tail and ears are fleece, and the tail is stuffed with polyfill and shaped with a floral wire frame. It took two petticoats and a pair of bloomers to get the poof I needed! I made the garters from elastic and buttons.

Personal Thoughts:

Basically, I made this costume because Momoi Haruko was at Anime Boston 2012, and I wanted to cosplay from a show she'd been in. I love Koyori's design, so it was an easy choice.

How was the wig colored?

Styling Notes

See my wig comments, but basically, the wefts are attached funny and made it difficult to cut and style. I'd also really like to darken the wig a little more before I wear it again (if I don't replace it altogether). Two rounds of ink dying darkened it some, but not as much as I'd have liked.

Wig Review

I have to say, I'm really disappointed with the wig. It's from Epic Cosplay, and is wefted very oddly; I think it may be the wig equivalent of a "lemon." The wefts are all off-center and hang funny when the wig is lined up evenly. I didn't realize this until after I'd already dyed the wig; otherwise, I would have returned it. This is the first time I've ever been disappointed with one of their wigs, though, so by no means have I written them off as a company.
