I had found this artwork by bazu at random when I was browsing through pixiv and thought it'd make a nice cosplay. I especially liked the 80s-ish design and the decorative seams. Sewing the dress was a bit tricky - Because it's so tightly fitting, I had to sew very neatly. It also took me some time to figure out the collar, but eventually I made it. I was really proud of the fabric I'd chosen, but when I took a few test shots I realised that the pinstripes were too subtle, so I had to buy fabric paint and retrace them. I also couldn't find nice buttons, so I painted some cheap ones. By now I'm quite experienced with painting buttons...　
I had a lot of pictures taken in these costumes (propably because of the short skirts and my cleavage), the most awesome of which are the photos that Andy-K took when it started raining at the con I wore this costume
