'Prisoner Usagi'

costume that I made last year fro ACEN. "prisoner Usagi" from Bishoujo senshi sailor moon.

this was about an hour before the masquerade.
the pic was taken by absolutely wonderful Lady Utena. Thank you~!!!!!

only thing I didn't have finished in time was the sleeve beading.

these pics don't do justice the the INTENSE beading I did *sigh* it looks really bad in most of my pics...
here is an upclose of the beading so you can see what it REALLY looks like!

each outer circle has around 50 beads *ouch*

the whole costume has around or maybe even over 4,000 beads. oh yeah....you read that right, 4,000.....

it was HARD~ don't think I will be doing another costume with beading for a while *_*

this dress about killed me. I barely got to wear it Saturday before the masq b/c I was frantically finishing (I don't know WHY it took me SO long! I had been working on it for 10 months!).
Well I would have to say this is definitely my favorite cosutme by FAR now!! I am SO proud of it~!!
and it is actually light blue....(I have always interpreted the color as light blue....)

video of me in the masq. also...(thanks to ACparadise!!)
