I'd prefer the anime design * [[attachment:ririchiyo_skirt_rear_AICL-2359.jpg| CD cover]] confirms that the fishtail complements the wavy hem * The peak of each pleat continues upwards as a vertical seam, meeting the shoulder strap around bust height(?) * [[attachment:ririchiyo_karuta_pocky.jpg| Where do the front seams meet]], dammit!? * They almost look like they [[attachment:ririchiyo_novel_00_cover_4757535007.01._SX_SCRMZZZZZZZ_V137697528_.jpg| end as darts]] * Not sure what the belt is doing [[attachment:w0kGx.jpg| here]] * Side seams as well * Four gold buttons up each side of the front strip, just inside the vertical seams * Deep V-shape at the back from the straps, plunging at the front but less so * About halfway between sternum and navel? * Belt pieces are sewn into the top of each front pleat * I think a poly-viscose fabric would be correct * Plenty of reference materials: * http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1242496/ * Non-canon reverse side: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1181388/ === Pattern === I sat around in Lincraft for a couple hours and perused their pattern books, I think I'll just have to take something that's vaguely close and work with that, like for Noel. * Vogue [[http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v1265-products-15129.php| V1265]] in E5 sizing - back would need modification, don't think it's close enough to be useful * Vogue [[http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8726-products-14165.php| V8726]] in C5 sizing - a big maybe, probably not * Vogue [[http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v1172-products-11080.php| V1172]] in EE sizing - some vintage stuff there ''may'' have the desired shape * !McCall [[http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m6396-products-14659.php| M6396]] in C5 sizing - skirt's a bit funky there, not sure... * !McCall [[http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m6027-products-10725.php| M6027]] in D5 sizing - best bet I think, let's '''go with this one''' ==== Cosmode ==== OMG Yumi you're amazing! Cosmode published a pattern for the dress, which she has a copy of. It's in Japanese, but I managed to stumble through it with a little help. I've put together a [[/Sewing| rough guide]] for the sewing with minimal translations. === Material === Grabbed a few metres from the end of a roll at the Remnant Warehouse, will see if it's any good and try using it for prototyping. I think it's basically okay, but something better shouldn't be too hard to come across. Also got 3m of Ink-coloured poly-viscose at Spotlight, let's see how that looks. It really does canonically seem to be black, hope I haven't fucked this up. Findings: * The remnant stuff isn't what I'm after, but it should be usable for prototyping * The poly-viscose is absolutely spot-on == Blouse == A plain white blouse should work, will have to find another one. I don't have any spare at the moment, seeing as the last one got modified for Kurisu's outfit. * Got another [[http://www.marcs.com.au/product-detail.html?styl=5568&cat=93| one of the same]], so I guess that's that sorted == Cravat == Put something together, should be fairly easy. == Stockings == Those stockings are amazing, they're sorta ribbed... what's available? * http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GREY-WOOL-RIBBED-ADULT-SCHOOLGIRL-OVER-KNEE-THIGH-SOCKS-VERY-LONG-AND-WARM-/110817153800?pt=UK_Other_Women_s_Clothing&hash=item19cd379308 * http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/THIGH-HIGH-OVER-KNEE-SOCKS-SALE-30-STYLES-UK-4-8-/320708225654?pt=UK_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item76c04e52a4#ht_3688wt_1377 * http://www.sockdreams.com/products/socks/thigh-highs/pinstriped-thigh-highs Need a garter belt. Luckily I have one! == Shoes == Nice mary-janes would be good. The ones I have are a bit too chunky. Consider something that'll match her aesthetic (a little mature and refined). Found something in the right style for $50, but they're size 10 (a bit small). They'll probably be fine. == Wig == Straight purple hair, down to at least the waist, preferably down to the butt. Similar to Yamada (Working!). Straight fringe across forehead, not hime-cut.
