 2010 version was made out with of ribbed fabric and wings just drew with white  fabric color.

→ UPDATE: In the 2016 version,  duster was full hand knitted, it takes me a lot (more or less a year). I took a few lessons in knitting by an elderly friend of my aunt , who very patiently taught me various tricks and followed me during various phases of the development and in my panic moments . It  was the most unpleasant work I have made in all these years as cosplayer , but also the more satisfying. As for the skirt , we created a pattern which we printed on fabric. I tried to focus on every detail from hair to boots. I’ve remade my costume also  because of our project: FFVIII The Movie.

I love this version of Rinoa, she wears it the first time she meets Squall at Balamb Garden and ask him to dance with her.

The difficulties in this dress were:

1.Color shades and fabrics. We debated about it a lot.

2. The fabrics we get were very beautiful, expensive,  delicate and damn SLIPPERY, it was a nightmare to work with it.

We learned the choreography in … 3 days? And we won the award for “Best Performance” at Katagames 2014. Although, unfortunately we messed half a step at the end ç_ç (We had widened too much).

→ UPDATE 2015:  I change my wig with a really better one  and we won again as ”Best couple” at Japan Fest cosplay contest. <3
