Made this costume for my friend and then she did all the embroidery by hand for both of our costumes. We wanted a challenge for Anime North this year because competition is getting really steep in costumes now.
Had a basic pattern for the beginning but it did not include the poofy sleeves, bows, triangle shirt shape, scalloping or bow trains so had to make that all up myself. Also the first time I had to extend a pattern size and alter it so much by hand.
