1. Chobits: Chi's Bakery Uniform
As seen in anime
Front:
Back:
*
Bust: Anywhere from about 30 - 40
Waist: 26-30
Pieces Included: Jumper, shirt, apron, hat, leg warmers, collar, ears.
Fabric: This is an all-cotton piece!
Construction: The jumper is a combination of two different patterns along with my own modifications. It is closed with a zipper in the front that is hidden by the apron. The shirt is another pattern modification and has elastic in the bottom of the sleeves but a drawstring neckline. The leg warmers are held up by elastic. The hat has a wire through it to keep its shape. The collar buttons closed and the lace bit snaps on. The apron just ties in the back. Overall this is a very easy costume to wear!
Price: $70
Status: Worn twice, washed since, in excellent condition
2. Chobits: Chi's dress from Ms. Hibiya

Size: This piece has a free hip size, 26" waist (can be adjusted up to 28" or down to 24" if requested), and can accommodate any bust size from 34" to 38"
Pieces Included: hoopskirt, overskirt, bustle, bow, corset, ears, armbands
Fabrics: There are lots of different fabrics, but all of them have a sheen. The hoop is a stretchy polyester, the overskirt and armbands are a polyester sateen, as is the bow. The corset is an interesting polyester studded with little silver beads that are difficult to see in the pictures. The bustle is cotton. All of these are lightweight fabrics, making this costume easy to wear and neither hot nor heavy.
Construction: This entire costume was sewn by me. The only part not sew is the ears, which is hot glued. Otherwise I created this entire costume from scratch. The only pattern used was for the corset, though even that was heavily modified to suit my needs. All trims and hems were hand-sewn.
Notes: This costume was worn once in prototype form, but never in finished form. It is in perfect condition. It will take some practice walking around with such a large bow and skirt, but it won't drag you down at cons. The hoop is collapsible for easy transportation and storage. The corset is a fashion corset and is not strong enough to actually modify the figure.
Price: $250
3. Scarlet and Black Taffeta Circle Skirt
Front, skirt held out:
Back:
Bow detail on hem:
Waist: 35-36"
Pieces Included: skirt
Fabric: Red taffeta with black weave, sateen ribbon, stiff netting trim.
Construction: This is a circle skirt, 21" long, 23" including trim, with a 3" waistband. The trim is applied with the ribbon over it. The bow is on the left front of the skirt and has a button in the center. It has a zipper back.
Price: $35
Status: Never worn
Notes: This skirt is a very good piece for someone who wants something easy to iron that will stay crisp for the evening. It's rather dressy, being taffeta (this was a common fabric for ballgowns in the Victorian era) but can be dressed down with the right accessories. It is not pictured with a petticoat, but could easily be worn with one. I can make a headdress or another bow for the hair upon request.
