Character: Oukouchi Sakuya
Anime: Kaikan Phrase
Worn At: Birthday/Cosplay Party
Status: Active

Introduction:
My friends were begining to form a Kaikan Phrase group and I was asked to be Sakuya. Though my interest in the series is low, and I really don't like the character, I agreed. I already had the fabrics and very little sewing was needed to make the costume.

How it was Made:
- Midrift Shirt: I used a really cheap/think black pleather, but I used the wrong side, which was like spandex. Used a basic shirt pattern and altered it to make it tighter.
- Jacket: Basic shirt pattern, altered to a jacket. The pleather used hates sewing machines, so I had to sew all the hemming by hand. Not fun, definately.
- Pants: Used the same pants as from my Dilandau costume.
- Wrist Band: Used black pleather. It's not too hard to get on, but a bitch to get off.
- Belt: Not done yet.

Hardest Task:
Making the jacket. I had to hand sew all the hemming because the pleather would stick to the sewing machine. That was time consuming, definately.

Favorite Aspect:
The midrift shirt is really comfortable and fits perfectly. ^_^

Flaws:
The jacket itself is a bit too short, and the sleeves are too loose. I'm not willing to fix those issues though, I don't like the costume enough to really do anything with it. I need to find a belt to wear with it, however.

Horror Stories:
When I first made the wrist band, I was able to get it on okay, but when I tried to remove it... I couldn't! I had to cut it off and make a new one that was bigger so I can get it off. XD
