Dia So sometime last year, I made a quick little Miwako costume! I had actually bought the boots for it many years ago, because I found them for super cheap, and then I finally got around to making the costume before NYAF 2009. I want to make a bunch of Miwako's outfits, but this was a cute and simple place to start. I ended up knocking off a pair of shorts I already had and turning them into overalls - patternmaking is fun, kids! :D

I was happy to wear this again at Anime Matsuri in Houston, TX this year, where my WCS partner/cosplay and cocktail buddy Elizabeth/Fatwetdog and I were lucky enough to be guests. Our schedule was super busy, so we were barely able to cosplay, but we managed to get a few photos on Sunday. Anna Fischer of Cosclips was kind enough to grab a few shots in the lovely garden behind the hotel. Also, it was Easter, so I felt especially festive in my bright pink!

(Unfortunately, the wig I usually borrow for this costume was being used by its owner at another con, so I had to make do with a random pink wig I had. Oh well!)
