For the body of the outfit, I once again chopped up and used various pieces of Butterick 4929 (that pattern's getting pretty worn out so I bought a new one to use next time ^_^). I used another pattern to get the shape of the cape (which looks a bit odd because I didn't want seams on the shoulder, but unfortunately the shape isn't so nice this way), and I'll post that pattern number when I dig it out. >_>
I put invisible zippers in the front two seams for getting it on - they zip all the way up to the shoulders. It makes putting it on both easy and difficult - the sleeves are attached to the back, so I slip in on over my head and reach back to put the sleeves on.
The thick bias on the cape part is all hand-made. The pin and stupid hair-thing are made from Model Magic and a PVC pipe. It was my first time using Model Magic and I didn't care for it, but upon talking to other people I came to the conclusion that perhaps I got a bad package... >.< There is white bias on the edge of the cuffs because in the manga there is always a distinct line there and some people put another ring of dark bias there, but I think it's to separate the whites, so I made it white.
