Shimakaze

Shimakaze is cute and DFC and risque, but interesting covers all the most problematic spots. So why not!

Components

Sailor shirt

I can modify a regular seifuku pattern for this, albeit slightly shorter than normal. It nominally comes down to the top of the navel, but I reckon it should come down a little lower because it'll naturally rise up if my arms (and thus shoulders) are raised a bit.

Sleeveless is a massive boon, that makes it much easier to sew.

The front has a sorta double-breasted(?) front panel rather than opening in the middle. That might make it ideal to hide a zipper.

Roughly: Front left side, front right side, front, back (in two parts? one piece is likely to be easy enough).

Six big brass/gold buttons on the front, two rows of three.

Inverted V-shaped notch on the side seams.

Strappy underwear

This will be completely faked up, seeing as underwear like that is unlikely to be useful for my purposes anyway. Invisible double-sided fashion tape can hold the straps in place over my pelvis bones.

Very short skirt

Should be easy to make, straight pleated skirt with waistband. Sits very low, will just cover buttocks depending on modesty requirements. Will definitely be a bad idea to bend over.

Elbow gloves

Wig

Anchor hair ornament

A little anchor and short length of chain, hangs off the left front strand of hair. Easiest to buy, probably.

Bunny ears

Rudder boots

These could be hard to make or adapt, might be worth buying.
