Case File: Phoenix Wright

Character: Phoenix Wright
Series: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Time: Hundreds of hours.

Because I couldn't find any blue suits (or dyable business suits) I decided to take on the challenge and make one myself. Everything from researching and finding the right pattern, running a prototype for fitting, finding and working with all 47 separate pattern pieces to assemble this suit.

The hardest part really was the darn pants, but pants are hard in general.

I got some great feedback thanks to Animazement's costuming competition. It turns out that the hardest garment to make in the world is a business suit. My execution was far from perfect, and people spend decades of their lives just to be able to make a suit. Every flaw can easily show up later.

Challenge accepted & overcome.
