Game: Final Fantasy 8
Worn at: Otakon 2002
Cost: Around $100-$120
Items in Costume: Duster (with angel wings on back), arm warmers, shorts (with zippers on the legs), jean skirt, black ribbon, black tank top, black boots, "Rinoa necklace" and Angel Wing Weapon
Made By: My mom - helped with pinning hems and zippers, helped me find the materials and reading the pattern
My dad - Taught me how to use a scroll saw :), bought the materials, sanded the weapon, helped to paint and glue on the jewels and came up with how to attach it to my arm
Myself - Did the machine sewing ^.^, pinning the pattern, all handsewing
Probably the hardest part about the costume itself was trying to sew the knit on the machine because it kept catching on something and wouldn't go! >_<;
The weapon was cut out of oak ply wood on a scroll saw (like a jig saw ^_~) and then painted with a light yellow paint and goldish and black acrylic paint (for the details). Then plastic jewels were glued to the center and felt was added to the back. It attached to my arm by velcro and an attachment to my arm band.
