(
Construction Notes ) This
was Ashley's very first sailor senshi fuku and I wanted to do an
original design different from any other sailor senshi costume.
I was heavily inspired from Naoko's Sailor Cosmos design, hence
the reason for the cape, feathers, and abundance of ribbons. I
did not know how to use a sewing machine at this time, so my
mother made the core of the costume while I finished it off with
all the accents, props, and cape. I used a flimsy lycra for the
bodice and high quality satin for the skirts, sleeves, and
collar. The mirror was purchased at a local drug store and I
added jewels and the Neptune symbol to the back. |
