animefanboy, I choose you...

Um, what I'm looking for are costume-helpful pictures of Dio from the anime Last Exile. I have a few, but I'm looking specifically for notes or details on the flight suit underneath the cloaky culottes overthing... and on the collar.

Pleeeeease?

Hee. You should come over. I'm sure Garth has it on DVD somewhere.

It would not hurt to find a cosplayer who has cosplayed as Dio and ask her/him in an email.

What search did you use to find her? Personally, I think I can do better than her cotsume, even on my short time scale ... but a similar search might find me someone else more detail-oriented.

I found her on a regular Google search, using Dio's full name.

Cosplay.com is a very good resource to find characters that people have already made costumes for because they looooove to post photos of themselves in said costumes. I think that site has a search option...

Ya didn't 'choose' me, so I shoulda left ya high and dry. :) If this wasn't for Ben I would have.

Whee! You rock!

Yes, it was a tactless phrasing, and I apologize. But the more pics I have, the better chance I have of pulling this off belivably and well in short time.

Thank you!

I'm honored to be chosen, but as I leap out of the Pokeball I see most of the work has been done. Thus, I will use my special translation power:

The picture of Dio with the Japanese writing on it has cosplay design tips:

-Underneath, Dio wears the Guild Flight Suit.
-The buttons are all metal rivets
-The hand should come out of a slit in the sleeve
-Zippers on the back and neck should bear the guild mark

The text pointing to the metal chuck on Dio's braid is too small for me to look up exactly, but it seems to be nothing more than a closeup of the metal piece on the end of Dio's braid.
