Here is a shot from the small photoshoot I had at AnimeFest 2012 of my Tahno cosplay~ I had too much fun in this costume~
This one comes with a bit of a story.
A very sweet Tahno fan and artist decided to give me a print of Tahno she drew after seeing my cosplay. I promised her that I would pose like in the print as thanks to her. Wherever she is, thank you so much for the print~. I'm glad I could make you smile~! :heart:

:bulletpurple: A Little About The Costume :bulletpurple:
This costume was more difficult than I thought it would be Lol!. Not only that, but I had only 2 months to make this outfit as well as work on some other outfits. The jacket in itself was time consuming with the paneling of a mix of different kinds of fabrics. Everything had to be measured out accordingly to another piece so it would all be mostly in proportion. And of course there was a gravity defying collar~ Then there were the pants and boot covers I had to make as well! The wig itself I had to add wefts to and style. The curling area in itself took about 3 hours of straight work to style. All it all it ended up being one of the cosplays I had the most fun in~ ♥

:star: Special Thanks :star:

:bulletpurple: Thank you as always to :iconapertureashley: for sharing her time and managing to snag a few photos of this outfit~! Thank you girly~ :heart:

Great Tahno cosplay. LOL the title and all that made me giggle a bit. XD
But seriously, the jacket, the amount of details and all that looks amazing. Well done.
