Etoile Rosenqueen - Rhapsody a musical adventure
Inspiration: I love the game Rhapsody and because the villain costumes were so...how should I say..skanky I picked the next best character. Etoile! She is just so cool, rich and funny! How could I not want to cosplay as her? Mew Pudding was planning to dress up as Juri from Utena I figured Etoile looked Utena enough so why not right?
Completed: June 7, 2005
Worn At: Anime Next 2005
Costume Pluses: It was fairly comfortable and I felt so awesomely stuck up, rich and just plain cool!
Costume Misuses:
1. I think the slit was a bit too high but no one really noticed and my underwear didn’t show.
2. Also my hair we didn’t get a wig so of course I had to straighten mine for it to work. I mean I did good on some level but in some photos it just looks messy.
3. The fan and the boots were not accurate.
4. Mew Pudding never finished her Juri costume in time >_<
Cost: 30$
Fave Aspect: The full thing. How could I not love it all? It juts made me feel so awsome and evil...even though the character was not intentionally evil.
Least Fave aspect:
1. That fabric I had to carry around. It kept slipping out of my fingers..
2. The fabric she carried around. It got in the way most of time >__<
3. No one really knew who I was. They said I looked familiar but really no one knew. I had to have a cornet or something related for anyone to even recognize me. But I did have about three recognize me ^_^;
4. I had to hand sew this whole costume so really I did not enjoy it too much >_<
NOTES: The shirts were bought and modified everything else was just made by hand sewing. The costume consisted of -1. Tuxedo shirt
2. Red tank top (modified)
3. The cuffs
4. Pink headband
5. Neck thing
6. Brooch
7. The skirt
8. Both pieces of fabric
9. The fan
10. The boots
