Construction Details:

All the patterns for this outfit were made from scratch. Designing Shion's poofs was quite a challenge, but some modified shoulder pads and batting keep the structure sturdy and lightweight.

Materials:
Shion's bustier and jacket are crafted from various crepe satins, gray flannel, and silver vinyl strips, thinly lined with cotton.

Shion's shorts are made from maroon denim, black twill straps, pink broadcloth, lycra, and reinforced gold satin (for decorative plates). Her stockings were also fashioned from a bit of black nylon and elastic. All jewelry is hand crafted, but Shion's floating necklace was the most fun to create, requiring only a 10" strip of boning and a hair straightener.

Her shield was crafted by my friend Nick in exchange for sewing Chaos' pants and vest together. We're looking forward to testing out warbla for the first time and (hopefully) making an armor one this summer.

Personal Thoughts:

My Nick friend introduced me to Xenosaga over Christmas and we decided to do matching cosplays for Anime Central 2013. After 24+ hours of cut scene research and several thousand crunches, I'm proud to present my hand crafted Shion Uzuki outfit.

Overall, I was surprised by how well video game fans received my cosplay. Showing some skin was a bit nerve wracking for me, but everyone's support (and hugs) helped ease the anxiety. Thanks guys!
