NANA Reira Pose

I used silkessence fabric, which frays easily and had to be double tucked before sewing. The costume was made in three parts: the skirt, the main dress, and the corset middle. The skirt was made in eight ruffled layers, which were sewn to a base with an elastic waistline. The main dress was cut to fall over the skirt and mask the fact that it was done in pieces. Then I added a corset middle piece to tighten my belly and help pull the look together.

The wig was purchased, but altered for the addition of bangs. As I was cosplaying Reira, I chose a wig that matched her hair color and style, as opposed to matching that of Ito Yuna. The shoes were store bought and then dyed by hand with a blue Sharpie marker to match the dress itself.
