CHIIIIIIIIII!!!
So I'm doing a chobits cosplay.
From Chii 2010 costume progress
This is THE ONLY PICTURE lol. It seems to be from an artbook, and there are no helpful anime pics of it. I've watched about 2/3 of chobits now and flipped through the rest, so I know it ain's in there.
I have completed the DRESS and the TRAIN

I am still working on the sleeves (partially completed), and the garter I haven't started.
The garter should be VERY EASY, I will just make a long tube, topstich the sides flat, and sew a channel for elastic down the middle. I haven't decided if I'll have guide loops or not for the black cord. I already bought the flowers. I have a bouquet, and a single flower of the same type with a clip on it, which will make it easier to attache to the garter. I need one more single flower for the choker, not sure how it will attach yet, as I think the clip will be rather uncomfortable agaisnt my neck.
The sleeves I've started. I have tubes for my arms, and "swimmies" with elastic in the to and bottom. But, I'm going to take out the elastic on the bottom, shorten the sleeve tube appropriately, and gather/pleat them so they look like sleeves and not tubes with swimmies. Still need to shape the bottom and attach the ruffle and black trim. I have black velvet trim, which I originally bought for part of the corsety stuff before deciding it would be better with all cording.
Progress and construction pictures are in my picasa album.
