Ahhh, Nitro Plus, all your smexy Boy-Loving games make our sewing fingers itch!!

The costume is in three parts, the top, an obi with the front black panel attached and the red skirt.
All the gold on this costume is hand sewn on, the gold pattern being the single longest part to complete. The obi robes are cut and hand sewn down to form the correct knots, and the gloves have black nails glued into small cuts in the fabric.

The wig is two of the same wig sewn into each other to extend the length and add volume. Horns are constructed from a chicken wire frame, then nearly 10 paper-mache, 2 layers of glue, 2 of paint and one of gloss.

Unfortunatley, side binding had to be done for this outfit, which is always slightly painful no matter how carefully I do it! XD

These cosplays were first worn at Manifest 2008 for which they recieved Runner Up Best Cosplay on the Saturday of the convention. We were also so lucky to be awarded Best Costume Overall for our Lamento cosplays at the Tas Sci Fi Con 2009. It's an award given to the best costume(s) of the entire weekend, so we were pretty blown away that they chose to give it to us! Thank you so much A.C.G!
