Date Made: End of April 2001
Time to make: Around a little over 1 month
Cost: $220
Worn to: A-kon 2001, 2002, 2004; Onicon 2004
This was my first costume and obviously from the above statement, you can kind of tell that I did not make on my own. I had it commissioned for me from a person on Ebay. The order came with Dejiko's wig, hat, apron, dress, tail, and shoe covers. Due to the custome ordering, I figured that $220 was a fairly decent price to pay for such a big order.
I had many complications with the girl that I ordered from and when I received my costume, I had found it over sized... So, unfortunately, they shipped it so late that I had no time to ask the person about altering the costume; however, I did try and ask for a partial refund afterward...but, they ran out on me....stupid people.
Even though it was too big for me, I decided that I HAD bought it, so I would wear it anyways because I really wanted to cosplay >o<...
It was a really great success all and all, everyone really liked how cute my costume was and it was so puffy and well fit my personality I gather. After the convention, I worked on my sewing skills and altered the dress and apron to fit me better.
Overall, because it was my first costume, the process of getting it was a tad hair pulling, but it was worth making it my first costume. ^^
