I totally sympathize with making the costume though... especially the piping! Mine had probably 5 miles of 1/4 inch bias tape to make... I do not miss trying to cut those perfectly straight lines out
Everything about this outfit and shot is very flattering to you. The colors of your costume go very well together, it's obviously very well made, the hairpiece is spectacular, and the photography is appealing too. If I make this outfit someday, I will definitely refer to yours!
If you're interested at all, this is my latest Sakura outfit, along with my mom as Queen Nadeshiko. We pair made both outfits; fortunately, we specialize in different parts! Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated! Sakura , Sakura and Nadeshiko
The dark pink skirt underneath is basically an A-line dress to my knees, but with ruffles for the bottom (that's why it looks so much 'ruffly-er' than the light pink on top). The light pink one is A-line (though if I could remake it, I would do full circle skirts for both because its prettier when you are twirling <3). For the hems of the light pink skirt, I used hemming tape (its basically like heat and bond in strips), that's how I got the edges so crisp and clean.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for your comments on mine, also~ The shoes were a pain, but surprisingly comfortable!
When I draw my girls I tend to go all out with mid-victorian epic hoops and ribbons all over. XDD Here, a sample: [link]
But you're right, even a little bit of fullness brings out more charm in a dress, even the shorter ones. And boy does CLAMP know this. I really think they should have been fashion designers instead of manga artists, don't you? x3
