Construction Details:
Small stars/moons are made from foamie; forehead crescent is made from the same, and is secured with eyelash glue and fashion tape. The choker is just a piece of ribbon and resin gems hotglued onto it, and a safety pin in the back to secure it. I cast the brooch from resin and I used candy molds as a last-ditch effort to get them done before the convention, the back is painted and has a super sized safety pin hotglued into it so that it can attach to the collar. The wings on the brooch are made from foamie, and the "pearls" are made from air dry clay. The boots are Funtasma Pleaser brand, and the ribbons around the top are hotglued on there; (I'm scared to cut them into the V shape that they're supposed to be, just in case we use the boots for another cosplay). The gloves were purchased, and for the glove/sleeve rolls, I more or less followed sparklepipsi's tutorial.

The sailor collar attaches to the bodysuit via snaps. The bodysuit was made by me out of swimwear liner and a lyrca/spandex blend; I used the Green Pepper Crystal Lake pattern for it. There are now snaps in the crotch for easy bathroom use. The sailor collar was made by cutting two "collars" out and sewing the ribbons onto the top collar and then sewing the two collars together. (I'm really proud of myself for sewing these fairly straight because they're so gosh-darned tiny!) The skirts are three circle skirts that are knife pleated and then sewn to the lower ribbon belt. The upper ribbon belt is sewn directly on top of the lower belt where the crescent goes. To get the V shape, I just cut the ribbons at an angle and then sewed the two pieces together. The belt ribbons are now attached to the bodysuit with iron-on velcro which is like the coolest thing since sliced bread. For the sleeves, I just patterned out REALLY BIG sleeves and knife pleated them at the top and bottom. For the sleeve rolls, I cut a rectangle into the circumference of the upper arm x 5 inches, folded it the hot-dog way with the pretty sides facing out, sewed the two tunnels for the stuffing and left the top part blank. This is what I sewed the bottom of the sleeves to. I then sewed up the sleeve and rolls (after stuffing) to make the sleeve into a sleeve, and then sewed it directly onto the bodysuit.

Wig Review
Yeah so about this... we never used the chibi, because the wefts we had purchased for it were pretty awful straight out of the bag, and despite our most valiant detangling efforts, remained that way, so we wound up using a wig from ebay with clip in ponytails and just making the buns by wrapping fiber around the clips.
