I walked around for a bit at BishieCon in 2010 as Saionji, but I wore pants that were beige/almost white. I found an actual white pair of pants that I plan to dye so I can start showing up at future cons in full force.

FANTASTIC!

I cosplayed as Anthy a year ago!  Here's a picture: http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos- … 3079_n.jpg

That's actually probably the best Akio I've ever seen.

Not that a lot of people cosplay him. What possessed you, huh?

I think I make a decent Saionji. I'll do my best to angst it up as traditionally as possible at RoseCon this year

I'm beginning work nowwww~



Coming soooooon~

For the record -- I kept searching, and i'm going to post the chronicles here I guess. Utena Tenjou's Shoes! (as if we need more google utena redirects, amirite?)

I used base white keds with black spray paint. Sadly, the spray paint bled a bit -- so i was forced to use some acrylic paint --then decided to paint the entire white part ... more white.
I used some standard red ribbon i found at the craft store and sewed them onto the shoes proper. This picture is before the bow was sewn!

My advice? Get a female jacket pattern that's relatively close and wing it. I hand-sewed Duo Maxwell back in the day, and I had just modified the shit out of a black dress shirt. And I did a pretty good job--second best of like eight Duo's, and the only reason someone beat me is because she had bought an actual priest collar. Also, you're not bad at Google, there are seriously no female military jacket patterns. I have also looked. Extensively.

Remember that the fabric comes together in the center of the upturned collar, so you're going to need to have plenty of room so they can still join together even after it's been hemmed. Collars can be attached later, so if you screw it up, it's not a big deal until you attach it. And for the bottom, really, you just need it to flare out in a box shape for each side, more or less. Really, I'd find a pattern for a "princess cut" jacket or shirt and work from there. It'll have the outward flare, and make your shape gorgeous(seriously, princess-cut your whole wardrobe omg). And the main difference between jackets and shirts is just the thickness of the fabric, use of interfacing to make it even thicker, and making accommodations therein(i.e. you can't have teeny buttons and buttonholes on thickass fabric).

I'm actually planning to cosplay as Utena at the next upcoming convention in Glasgow.
Since my hair is already pink and short, you can probably guess which outfit I'll be wearing.
I'll hopefully have some pictures to show for it later but right now, I'm in the middle of sewing the suit together. >_<

Sure thing! I cosplayed the manga, series and movie version and also the ohtori school uniform. Currently planning a shoot of her series version in front of a white school building and in a rose garden.

Hmm, that wig makes me think more of Juri than Utena, with how curly it is, but great job otherwise.

Well, Utena's hair in the movie is at least wavy, but yeah, I love making curly wig styles ^.- Thanks!
