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 (made by me), as well as I hand-beaded over 100 beads onto this outfit to give it my own added flare of design and elegance.

There's also over 10 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 styled by me and yes, is a tri-wig. There are 3 wigs worth of hair in that monster. Coloring of the wig was also my work. x_x; And there is 3 different kinds of bird feathers weaved into that wig as well!

In front of me here is my buddy and she was kind enough to whip up a Zidane~! Aw~! I thank her so much for doing this~!
We had a lot of fun together and were often picking on each other like quarreling siblings at the con~!

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

Thanks to for the lovely photography and sharing her talent~

And thank you to for being her lovely assistant~!
