Eyes on Me.

Character: Rinoa Heartilly from Final Fantasy VIII
Seamstress/Model: Tess [cupcake-rufflebutt]
Photography/Editing: Ollie [orobouros.net]
Location: Anime Next 2007

Construction Notes:
My main downfall with Rinoa, and one that commonly plagues Rinoa cosplayers, was my inability to secure the correct ribknit for her duster. You can see in this detailed shot that the weight of the fabric is actually much too thin, though I did manage to find fabric with ribbing semi-comparable in width to hers. I did sponge-paint the skirt myself, since hers has a mottled colouring that I was unable to find pre-existing in denim. Costume and wig constructed/styled by myself.
