So.
Unfortunately the wig I need to fix up my Yayoi costume is... not gonna be happening. As a result, last minute change of plans whoo!
It's a character from a manga that I like. A totally wholesome manga!
Wait no that's a lie
Actually it's this girly:
I had been planning as cosplaying as her a while ago but ended up getting sidetracked by finding THE PERFECT BAKURA SHIRT so I already own those exact boots :3 And although you can't tell from that pic, she's wearing white thigh-high socks which I also already own! Sweet!
And luckily since it's halloween season I can totally hit up a store for a cheap red riding hood costume (especially since I can get a kids' one since I just need the mini-caplet.) And then I can... I dunno sew a buckle onto the hood or something.
For the wig I'm thinking something like
this one... does it seem long enough? I want one that already has the appropriate bang style and this seems pretty perfect.
My main problem is that dress and that apron, but mostly that apron. :| The dress I can probably fake the sleeves onto and although it's supposed to
have a collar I can probably forego that on account of the caplet. Plus, since I have a lacy underskirt I don't necessarily need a dress that has a white frill at the bottom... but that apron! Where do I get a heart-shaped white apron?! Though they seem to be a staple of apron-play ero-manga (fun fact: actually I really hate apron-play), do they actually exist? Do I have to break down and sew ANOTHER one myself?! (I half made one once but uhhh it turned out the wrong size because I suck at measuring cloth proper)
I refuse to shop anywhere crude, guys
EDIT: on second thought I could make things easier on myself and base it off her second outfit... but ouiin the heart-apron is pretty cute. :| Decisions, decisions!
Also: does sumi ink ruin stuffed animals or can I use it to dye some fake fur to make her fluffy litte kitty-cat friend?
By the way,
dragonsofavalon, if you don't cosplay as anything in particular you're gonna accidentally be casplaying as another guy from this same manga... if you don't want that, better think of something! :3
Regardless of whether or not you wanted to read all that, here's a drawing of
Insector Haga that I re-found in My Pictures while looking for those scans. :3
Anyway now I'm gonna go back to enjoy listening to the Buffy "Once More With Feeling" soundtrack... in French! Haha Il faut pas dire is such an amazing song
