Some construction notes:

Both costumes were constructed in a three-week timeframe before Anime North 2009 and debuted at the masquerade. We won Best Detailing in the Journeyman division. Everything other than the pants, footwear and dress shirts were self-made, with some help from each other. Both my cape and jacket are fully lined in duchess satin. The black parts are made of stretch twill. All gold detailing is made from metallic spandex; most of the applique was done with heat-and-bond. My cuffs are made of red taffeta. My red "wings" were handpainted in acrylics. Suzaku's gold designs are done in acrylics, and the blue wings were done in oil pastels. [livejournal.com profile] sew_creative drafted the patterns for the jacket and vest herself. Her wig in these photos is a backup - she had a perfect one that was commissioned, but it got lost during the convention, unfortunately.

Random facts: my costume weighs 15 pounds in total, and an extra two people can easily hide under my cape. :>

This was a huge challenge, but we were very happy to have brought this beautiful artbook cover to life. Special thanks to the photographer Zero for the photos, and [livejournal.com profile] the_major for styling my wig.

*whistles* Excellent work! I can imagine how much time and work you must have put into your costumes! Definitely worth the challenge!

oh my! wow lol I had a tight deadline I had to make a full length gown for a play being preformed by my friend. it was absolute macbeth and I had two weeks to make it plus I only had two fitting plus twentyish minutes before she went on stage to finish it... Ugh lots and lots of swearing was done. Plus the one day I ordered some fabric a black roll they sent me white. But that's awesome your turn out was great.

My 2 cents:

I draped and drafted both my jacket and coat. I helped Angathol with changing the pattern to allow for the gold. I self-lined both the jacket and coat. I would say that the drafting / draping time overall was roughly 4-5 hours total. (Though I spread it out over time since I still had my Fashion classes to finish up). Over all I think they turned out nicely.

Haha I reply late and no one is going to see this XD
