So I though I would keep it up and share the making process, since I did it with last one.

This one is pretty simple, two layer of kimono is pretty easy to make as I have done something like it before. Only thing is it require way too much fabric if you are fuss like me and don't want to shoulder seam. Oh, and I forgot that I'm just tiny bit taller then the standard size, which I didn't realize when I finish sewing the body and the sleeve together. After feeling dumb for a second I had to take the sleeve apart and re-cut it. *doh*The hakama I actually bought it with my friends, since after looking at it in detail I decided it's probably wiser to leave it to the people that know what they are doing. In other word it's pretty complicated and I didn't feel like figuring it out. Now, if it's corset or anything like that it's another story. They only came in blue and white, so we bought the white and dyed it. I also had fun doing the gradient dye (There is another word for it but I can't remember for the life of me right now....) for our Chizuru.

Lastly, I did decide to go with a wig, even though my real hair's length probably can get by, but it's not my nature color anymore so I thought it would make more sense to get one and style it. As always it's not easy to get a wig to pony tail but I managed and my goodness Fantasy Sheep SP series wig have a lot of volume. It is shocking, but I think it will be pretty good if you want to do some major styling with it.

I was going to do a photoshoot with the Sakura Blossom, since it is the Sakura Blossom season but I ended up getting sick. *sadness* Hopefully next time.....
