Why I chose
to make this costume:
For eleven50's big New Year's Eve Bash
I wanted to create a new outfit for the stage show. I've been
planning a more futuristic costume in hot pink for a while and
thought that it would really work well with the club's elegant
yet modern look.
How I made this costume:
I used remnant materials purchased
over the time and fun pink and white extensions attached to a
multicolored pink wig. The costume ended up costing me hardly
anything and was created over a period of two weeks. It consists
of a lace up corset with front zipper, short mini-skirt with spandex
sides (UV-reactive), and a split undershirt with obnoxious pink
sleeves. I wanted it to be cute, sexy and "loud" at the same time.
Details like boot flaps, ribbons and a gigantic pink bow completed
the look. I also wore my Yuna light up wings for the club and
finally got to utilize their "glow" feature since Katsucon.
My thoughts on this costume:
I had a great time with this fun futuristic
costume and would use it again in a heartbeat. Sewing the vinyl
was surprisingly easy and it felt wonderful to design something
again.
