At long last! Gen has been working on her Lolita Mulan cosplay costume for Anime Central for months. And it's finally finished! There's an amazing amount of detail, mostly including tiny beads and lace trim and braided ribbon, and I'm just so impressed that she could create this out of the neatly folded--and precisely chosen--pieces of fabric that found their way home from JoAnn's all those weeks ago. I had one heck of a time just *altering* the infant shirt I had to make smaller to fit Clark!Bear; I can't imagine making an entire costume to wear.
I wish we'd been able to take the picture in the daylight, if not to at least be able to see the cute little purple parasol, but she's leaving straight from work tomorrow so it was now or never.
She also made a Mushu costume for one of her friends, but it's currently being packed. We'll just have to ask for pictures of the whole group (Lolita Disney characters, the lot of 'em) when she gets back. ;)
