Construction Details:: I originally started making this dress out of a very light cotton gauze, but realized I was using an ill-matched pattern and too thin fabric. At the last minute, I bought new fabric and draped it on my dressform. It's bacically an "angel" shape. Medium weight drapery stuff. The orange trim is actually beautifully textured silk I scored a cheap scrap of. I may have enough to line the sleeves or add a bottom hem detail. I really hope so.
Personal Thoughts:: Oringally planned to do a slightly artbook version of Lalah for a Girl's Guide to Gundam panel with Mirai_Noah~ and it was going to be simple and easy and no stress. THEN SUDDENLY IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT TOHRU FURUYA WAS COMING TO FANIME AND I HAD TO KICK IT UP A NOTCH. wore it to his panel and autograph signing :D now I have an Amuro'd Green haro. My Collection is complete, I can die a happy Gundam fangirl~!!

Styling Notes: The "buns" in back were just loose braids pinned up. A very bad way to do it, because the buns kept coming loose, but I wanted a 'temporary stying' for his wig rather than permabuns ^^;
