"I absolutely love this outfit! I was asked to make this when I was auditioning to be an ANX Idol (gogo troupe for anime conventions). I was given short notice to make it but I was able to complete it in two weeks with no major mishaps :)"
"It was faily easy to make since a lot of the outfit was following a simple pattern with no alterations (sans shortening the skirt), and the blouse was able to be purchased and then modified to fit nicer. The only surprising feature with this uniform is that the red bow is actually made from the wrongside of a velvet fabric. I accidentally bought it thinking the wrongside of the fabric was the rightside, but it worked out in my favor because the thickness of the fabric was very stiff so I ended up not needing to use interfacing to keep the bow's shape."
"This uniform makes me feel super adorable and it has become one of my favorite 'downtime' convention outfits!"
