The fabric she used in AC was sheep skin Leather. This particular leather has a neat color effect of black with purple, orange, and red hues. VERY EXPENSIVE. it also stays looking tight and not loose or wrinkled.

If you're looking for a cheaper fabric, you can always go with black satin or other pure blacks. I havn't seen a Tifa wearing leathers yet. If you want to put a shine to it, spray on some weather proofer, this will give it a rather uplifting shine while keeping stains and rain rolling off you.

A friend of mine just did a Tifa made out of fakey leather. It's quite a bit less expensive than real leather, and easier to sew. It looks really good for the Tifa too.
