Anime: Slayers Next (ep. 14...I think)
Worn At: Katsucon 2002 (sat. and cosplay)
Cost: around $30
Items in Costume: long red chinese style dress, yellow ribbon for trim, 1 green earring (he only wears one o_o;), purple wig, fan, dark blue high heel sandals
Made by: my mom (did all the machine sewing) and myself (did the trim and cut everything)
This costume was a lot harder then it looks. It took a long time to find a pattern that looked right. I don't know why but most of the patterns had long sleeve chinese dresses. This costume took quite a bit of editing. The sleeves had to be edited because they hung about an inch off the shoulder. Then the dress had to be taken up cause...well I'm too short or something and I guess that's it.
It turned out really well and it was fun to wear and imitate Xel all day "sore wa himitsu desu" ^.^
