Lainey --> Utada Hikaru
Source: Utada Hikaru's Sakura Drops music video Hours to Construct: Over 150 hours Worn at: Anime North 2005, Fan Expo 2005 Status: Active Award(s): Best in Show, Best Detail in Artisan division Inspiration: I'm a huge fan of Hikki..and when I saw the music video a few years ago, I fell in love with her dress!! Once I started cosplaying, it was a dream to make this crazy detailed dress..and I've finally accomplished it! Favorite aspect: The fact that no one cosplayed it before lol No one recognized who I was, but everyone still appreciated the beauty of the costume...that meant a lot to me ^_^ Least favorite aspect: Hand sewing EACH FREAKING SEQUIN!!!!! This took HOURS and HOURS of work O_O I probably should have used stiffer wire for the petals as well (petals were wired to hold their shape and give more "poof") Hardest task: I think there were like what..12 layers of those petal thingies?! Wiring them was no fun...neither was hand sewing all of the sequins -_- Comments: It's a really beautiful costume, but it just is not comfortable to wear in the hot weather due to all of the layers in the dress. There is the overdress, main layer, and petticoat layer.
