Rinoa Heartlily
Series:
Final fantasy VIII
hours spent:
40
First Worn to:
Sugoicon 2007
Why I did this cosplay:
I can relate to Rinoa by her outgoing spunky cuteness. Indeed. I love her character, its so close to mine. I've heard people say that I look like her and shes just awesome. I really do love the character Rinoa.
Attire:
This outfit was very time consuming. The hardest part was creating the duster and armwarmers from scratch. It took a long time but it was well worth it. I don't like taking short cuts. Shoes, black tank and ribbon were pre-owned. I had trouble with the pants but I plan on working on it. The black ribbon belongs to one of my friends and the necklace is a special chain with a designed ring and actual Squall ring.
For the actual first time wearing this costume out at an event I decided to make the boots more accurate but stringing the laces only up til the ankle then adding the buckles at the bottom. The pants are now tighter and have the lines going down them.
Anything else?
The shorts// bike pants whatever... KILL ME. I hate that style. That has to be one of the worst things in the world. O well, I'll have to tighten them. I'll probably add silver zippers in the near future.
Because of when I first debuted it, I wanted it to be as accurate as possible, I did work on the pants and changed them. I am soo proud of the end result!
