I decided to do a Hinata costume for Halloween 2009 and during the inspiration process of looking at other costumes, I stumbled upon these amazing elaborate Naruto cosplays that pushed embellishments and originality into the cosplay itself.
So I separated out the top into two pieces: hoodie and vest. I added kimono fabric accents and created fabric flowers for a headpiece to be clipped to the side of the wig.
Basically, I got carried away. XD
