About this Costume
Construction Details:
Found a pre-styled Gou wig + Iwatobi jacket pack at Amazon Japan and couldn't help buying it since I know a realistic-looking jacket was quite far from what I could do with my skills, time and budget. I then looked for a pair of similar pants. Didn't have much luck the first time I wore this, but I could find better ones after that (only had to remove a purple stripe they had). Due to time constraints (more like rushing) I also had two different yellow t-shirts, but I could modify the last one and paint the official Iwatobi mascots on the back. A stopwatch and red sneakers complete this.
Personal Thoughts:
I'm certainly not the most active and vocal Free! fangirl out there if you compare me to the rest of the fandom, but I really liked both seasons, and when I came to Japan I couldn't help but join the craze. I needed a simple and comfy cosplay for a anikura (anime & cosplay clubbing event), and I choose Gou-chan since she's my favorite character along with Rei (but Japanese cosplayers set the crossplay makeup bar too high for me w).

Styling Notes
After wearing the wig as is a couple of times, I'm now working on redoing the ponytail and styling bangs and sidebangs properly.
Wig Review
Fibers and color are really beautiful and it has a lot of volume... which is actually a little bit problematic now that I'm trying to redo that ponytail XD
