Himeno Ice Pretear from Pretear

Debut: Anime USA 2010

 

 

Construction notes:
My first costume after having a baby. I had to cut so many corners and say the dreaded "good enough." The skirt stretched down due to the weight of the hula hoop. If I have time again, I'll raise the skirt.

Anyhow! It is made from fleece. The sleeves are a lighter fleece. The white is faux fur, glued on (another shortcut). The pink design is made with a stencil and floral spray.

The wig (Leslie style) was originally 613/24B mix (so a dirty blonde with very light blonde highlights). I sharpie/fw ink dyed it. The mixture of colored fibers gave it a more natural effect. Well, as natural as pink can be! The headband had fur hotglued to it and sculpy was used for the center.
