FFX: Water Fury (Lulu reborn!)

Description

Well kinda. But how could I not take a picture in front of this fountain! It was super windy, thus all the braids getting twisted.

This is my redone Lulu. I first made the costume nearly a year and a half ago, then dropped 30 pounds. I love Lulu. The costume is impossible but I love it anyway. And it makes me so happy she's actually my exact height! When do I ever find a chick my height in games?




While it looks pretty much the same, I completely restructured the corset. I pulled it in 3", lightened the weight of the fur, fixed the zipper (hidden front center), and repaired the sleeves so I could actually move my arms.

The skirt is still the same, though as I lost the weight, it sits now on my waist instead of under the bust. (it looks a bit longer here as I'm standing one half step below the skirt) The skirt has gotten some care, including boning underneath the belts to keep it from folding in on itself as well as a repaired plastic underskirt to keep it clean.

Compare to a similar shot last year (frick look at all that lost weight)

I have also made new hairsticks, added clips into the wig so it stops slipping, and put a closure on the necklace as last year, it was held together by a safety pin. The braids have been properly secured into the wig this time. The wig is completely hand braided and weighs about 5lbs.

I will be wearing this cosplay more, though only locally as the cosplay takes up its own damn suitcase. I'll be at fanime! If you see me, come say hi!

Feel free to add to groups. I love groups!

You look fantastic! There's definitely a difference from the previous time you wore the costume. Wear your Lulu proud! :heart:
