Well here it is~ The pretty much finished version of my Kuja cosplay. It took 6 months of straight hard work to get this costume to where it is in the photo. Actual metal pieces were used and crafted by me. Places such as the metal detailing lining the out portion of the skirt, those were constructed out of over 150 pieces. I also hand-beaded over 100 beads onto this outfit to give it my own added flare of design and elegance.

There's also over 13 yards of chord that went into this costume. I also had to draw up a lot of patterns for various pieces of the outfit. Dying the fabric in some areas was also done by me.

The wig was cut and styled by me and yes, is a tri-wig. There are 3 wigs worth of hair in that monster. Coloring/Dying of the wig was also my work. x_x; And there is 3 different kinds of bird feathers weaved into that wig as well!

So yes! Here it is~! Hope you enjoy~! :heart:

Thanks to :iconapertureashley: for the lovely photography and patience as well as sharing her talent~

And thank you to :icon10thmuse: for being her lovely assistant~!

Sweet bippy. It's you!

I remember seeing you at AFest and your Kuja is still one of the most elegant that I have ever witnessed. You did an amazing job with this costume.
