Construction Details:
(These details can be applied to all outfits, haha). I began with a leotard as a base and followed the amazing tutorial from Ranma 1-2 on how to do the hip rolls (high density foam and lycra). All the colored fabrics are a dull satin. The uniform (leotard, skirt) is one piece and the sailor collars fit over the head. The tiaras are craft foam spraypainted with a gem added and bobby pins at the ends to pins into either natural hair or a wig weft. The necklaces are ribbons with gems that are painted. The hearts are made from painted craft heart ornaments filled with expandable foam and covered with craft foam (Thank you to aluminumbunny on DA!) Gloves are bought. Hair ornaments for Mini/Sailor Moon are either large gems covered in clay or model magic, each painted. The other set of pins is a combination of half-pearls and feathers.

I write "very hard" on this because of the fact that all seven were constructed in three days. I had no life or sleep haha.
Personal Thoughts:
Oh man, long story... my friends who don't cosplay wanted to do something fun for Halloween and came up with the idea of Sailor Moon. Me, being ever ambitious, deciding to take on the project. Because I had a friend abroad and another away during Halloween, I promised them a photoshoot. Little did I know this photoshoot would be very unexpected and force a sweatshop environment into my room LOL. But regardless of the inaccuracies, I'm really proud of all these looking back. I think that considering budget, time, and the fact that except for me, these won't be worn again, I had an amazing time with my friends. This cosplay was the perfect reminder that cosplay's about fun and making memories, which was exactly what was done.

I won't update the individuals, but know that I made each of these garments. (Mask's will have to be updated though ;])

Wig Review
I feel bad for this wig which earned the "I Survived Through a Frat Party" award. It's a bit frizzled at the ends, but I'm sure some product will fix it. Wig itself is a bit small, but it still works great.
