Personal Thoughts:

This has been one of my dream cosplays for Sakura since I first got into TRC. CLAMP designs are known to be very beautiful (and intricate!) -- but I went for a design more within my skillset. Both Fai and Sakura were made in about a week (right before the con @__@), so Fai has a lot of missing details.
This was my first ball-gown cosplay -- so I was both nervous and excited! I really love the petticoat I bought (~$15 on eBay!) and hope I can make more beautiful princess costumes in the future. :D!
Thank you so much to my friends who helped me finish these costumes, I really wouldn't have been able to wear this without your guys' helping hands and words of encouragement and motivation!!
