My fourth Karen Kasumi variant. My previous Karen Kasumi variants:
1) artbook "bridal" gown
2) artbook red shoe gown
3) Volume 18 Ginza civillian clothes
And now I do the TV variant. I made this in the course of two days. All the fabric is from the Los Angeles Fabric District. I picked up the main fabric at Maple and the lining at the $1 store. Not a bad deal, eh? Of course, I get all my notions at Kashcool's. It took me an afternoon to cut the fabric while I tried watching Queen of the Damned, but realized how bad it was, so I ended up watching 1408 instead. Samuel L. Jackson makes everything better.
I'm very proud with how this turned out. Lesson learned? Interface not once, but twice when it comes to collars that have to stand up. I'll remember that for my Twilight project (next on the list...wait for it!).
We're hardly into 2009, and this is my fourth costume done for the year. Might as well get some stuff done before school starts.
Fourth variant inspired by Hitori because she's the only other X/1999 fangirl I know aside from me. Sometimes Sarah. Sometimes.
So...who's up for X/1999 times?
