About this Costume
- Personal Thoughts:
- This isn't so much a costume as it is my appreciation for Japanese culture ^_^ Through lots of time and money spent on this little adventure, I have acquired every single piece needed to accurately wear a furisode (of which I have two complete sets ^_^), and I manage to put it on all by myself (including tying the obi O_o)in about 45 minutes ^_^ These pics were taken at Otakon 2003, which was the first time I had ever worn it in public (I was also proposed to while I was wearing it that weekend as well ^_^) My only regret about wearing it then is that I hadn't figured out how to flatten my chest so the collar would rest properly off the back of my neck, but I know how now ^_*) I also have some nice little kanzashi in my hair which can't be seen in the pics. I have plenty of info/advice on wearing a kimono (as well as what the pieces are called and where you might find them) if anyone wants it ^_^ Always willin' to help!!!!!
