Robotics;Notes has a fabulous cast of characters, I'm tossing up between Akiho and Frau.

Yumi has also suggested Misaki-nee as a possibility.

= Components =

I've got less than a week to do this thing, and I've basically not even started. Damn.


== Wig ==

Whether I choose Akiho or Frau, both styles are kinda tough.

Akiho will need a long brown wig, with bits braided around the sides, with a big up-do at the back (hair ties).

Frau will need a long blonde wig (waist length), with hellacious amounts of hairspray and some black ribbons for ties.

Expecting to procure on site at this rate.


== Glasses ==

Take the red Nike glasses if I do Akiho.

== Blouse ==

Fairly standard sort of sailor uniform.

 * Big collar
 * Short sleeves
 * Sleeves turned up at the end
 * Teal/dark blue edging detail on collar, modesty panel and turned-up sleeves
 * Big bright blue bow on the front, just under the collar
 * Appears to button up at the front
 * Summer uniform, so it's a tiny bit short
 * Made from a number of panels, the seam lines are interesting placed

Some official reference art: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1304763/

Got some [[attachment:tanegashima_blouse_material.jpg| material]] for the blouse so far.


== Skirt ==

Basic pleated skirt.

 * Lots of fine knife pleats
 * Same teal/blue colour as the detail on the blouse
 * Lengthwise, it looks like it sits... fairly high up near the waist, and reaches maybe halfway to the knees


== Pokecom belt ==

The belt is an integral part of Akiho's outfit, and not for Frau.

 * Pouch, tan/brown in colour
 * Belt, colour matches the pouch, maybe an inch wide with standard punched holes
 * Little Egyptian cat thing (some [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1286050/| detail]] is visible
 * Dark brown vertical stripe over the buckle of the pouch, rough design can be seen [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1283989/| here]]
  * It's a cheat, I think it's a magnetic clasp underneath the buckle, as is common on women's handbags


== Pokecom ==

Look at borrowing a Nexus 7 or Note2.

Plenty of opportunity for cool AR photos with this.


== Socks ==

Darker than the uniform teal, navy blue, reaching to just below the knees.


== Shoes ==

Plain black loafers, already have some.

 * Can little motor scooters be rented?
