Debut: Anime Central 2006
Hours: 20-40

Notes: Hyung Tae Kim was definitely 'IN' at the time. I was a bit stuck on what costume to do for Acen '06, and ultimately decided on this pretty design. At the time I was kind of stuck in a rut of cosplaying gun-toting badass chicks. I wanted to be something pretty and graceful for a change.

This was my first experience with gradient dyeing. Not fun! Every piece of fabric you see started off as being the lightest pink, seen in the top and top of the skirt. Even the black was once light pink. After all of my dyeing dillemas were over, I got to handpaint everything :D Since the top was designed as so gravity-defying, I used foamies as a support and to give stiffness.
