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. And there is 3 different kinds of bird feathers weaved into that wig as well!

Here we had some fun with some illusion work all thought up by :iconapertureashley:~! It was a very neat idea~!

And as grey pointed out to me the other day, it reminds me of the part where Zidane is in Memoria and Zidane is stuck seeing all sorts of memories~. I'm sure Kuja was watching~ Mwahaha~
Or perhaps Zidane's merely thinking of Kuja? Who knows~!

Once again my float boots give the allusion that I'm floating~
It's fun when they do that~

Hope you enjoy~! :heart:

Thanks to :iconapertureashley: for the lovely photography and sharing her talent~ :heart:

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