Construction Details:

I got some discounted fabric at Joanns with Rufflebutt XD. I was like hey.. this would be perfect material for Shanoa. SO that's when that started. I got the material. I started patterning out a huge circle skirt. Alas I didn't have a lot of fabric to play around with so I changed my pattern and lined it.

The top was tricky and I still hate it. I want to change it like no other but for the time being it is what it is.

All the armor is made from foam. I'm cool.
I used bronze pleather for the trim on the armor and detailing. I added puffy paint because thats what you do with armor.

Personal Thoughts:

So I've had my eye on this costume FOREVER. With all caps. I've always wanted to dress as Shanoa. I finally got my chance this year (2014) when I thought I was going to make her costume for Anime Los Angeles. NOPE. I'm an idiot. I didn't get it done in time. Luckily the Pleasure Renaissance Fair was coming up. I finished it asap and went with my friends. I didn't realize it was going to be windy though�

I don't make armor.

Finally.. I can take her off of my to-do-list.
