Here is a preview from the shoot that my buddy and I had at AnimeFest 2012~

I saw the design for these outfits a lot with promotions for the new Tiger & Bunny movie~ From a magazine cover, to little figures, I fell in love with these outfits~ (That and I have a weakness for wearing suits.) With that, I contacted my buddy who does Tiger and we decided to go for it~! Something a little different than the normal outfits~

This was also a night shoot which was very interesting! I've only had one other night shoot so far and this made the second~ Either way it was still a lot of fun!

A Little About The Costume
My Bunny suit jacket was rather fun~ I enjoy adding my own flare of design to the original design of the costume. So I decided to break up the monotone of a normal black suit and added paneled areas using a different material. I also made the blazer collar with the same reflective material. (I did something similar to this with my Sebastian Kuroshitsuji cosplay.) Of course there were plenty of buttons to sew on and buttonholes to make. It is indeed a double-breasted suit jacket~. There is not a button missing as some may think, the design called for one button on the top not to be revealed lol. And the glasses I'm wearing are my actual vision glasses. Yes a little unknown fact. I wear glasses when necessary.

Special Thanks

A big thank you to my buddy for taking time for a cool night shoot~! Great work~!
