Notes: Due to lack of time and procrastination I needed... wait, are we dettecting a pattern here or what? >.> Anyway, this time I decided to have a go at trying to do the crazy vampire crossdressed from MMPPPP. I already had most of the fabrics needed for it, so the costs were reduced. The skirt was my Tifa's skirt; Shirt was made by altering a store-bought shirt and adding it the ruffles and flesh-coloured fabric, and I already owned the red fabric used to build the belt. The wings... erk. Took me 3 days solid of work only to come out craptacular. I had this crazy idea of trying to pass the back part of them under my shirt, so that they'd look more realistic... and as you can probably guess backfired spetaculary on my face. By attempting to do such a fancy thing on my 1st time at building wings I managed to forget the most obvious thing - lack of good back support for the wings will result in wings not holding up by themselves. So I spent the entire time I had the costume on holding the wings by the bottom to keep them up, as pictures show -.- Wings were build by using card, wire, fabric, duct tape, glue and some sewing.
