Notes:While I like BLEACH, Orihime isn't my favourite character. However I have the assets to pull her off, so I decided to do her instead of Rukia (as i'd look very strange as Rukia). This costume was made to go along Inehime's Ichigo and Sissy's Rukia costumes for FUPO, a small cosplay gathering that has as its main theme anime couples. However Sissy never managed to complete her costume on time, so it ended up being a 2-person group. The hardest part of this costume was oddly the shirt. It turned out to be impossible to find a store-bought shirt that looked remotedly like Orihime's, so I just bought one and altered it to make it look like Orihime's, by modifying its sleeves and adding the pocket. The bow is supposed to be the anime-style one, and it was remade the second time I wore the costume as the first time it came out looking rather odd. The wig is my old Gogo wig then turned Asuka wig... multi-function wig she is. I had to use her as the wig I originaly bought for Orihime turned out to be a far more bright orange shade than I expected. The fringe is style according to the style she wears later on in the series.
