Tsuruhime from Sengoku BASARA
Unfortunately mom pretty much went straight to bed, but I gave her a heads up, so hopefully she can help me tomorrow
She suggested the sleeves from a different pattern, but they're too short and aren't right
So I'm prolly gonna end up with making it out of paper first, and save the pattern ones to use later for other, non cosplay, costumes that I might be able to sell
And I have the kimono/yukata pattern in two sizes so I can go US 6-20 (or up to 22, I'd have to check again), and possibly even sell them :D

*went and looked it up* That'll be a really cute cosplay! The sleeves don't look like they'll be too hard to figure out. Good luck with your sewing!

I'm going to sign out a bit early tonight as I have a headache coming on. I'll talk to everyone tomorrow. Goodnight!

They're a bit like flare pants
Straight until the knee/elbow and then flare out
I'll prolly just make it out of paper

Pretty sure I have enough cloth to make the tabi too, but at the same time I don't think I got something stretchy enough to fit. Eh, we'll see

The skirt is a modified hakama
It'll make sense when you know what a hakama looks like
Her entire outfit is a cross between a shrine maiden and a schoolgirl

You can see WIP shots of the skirt I made there

IT WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS TO PUT THOSE PIPE CLEANERS ON IT

Mmn...
Saika Magoichi is more a western style outfit
And Mori Ranmaru's is half old games street fighter, half cowboy

I need help getting it on, so I haven't tried it on completed yet
It was a slight squeeze before the pipe cleaners were added, I'm hoping that with the pipe cleaners it didn't end up impossible x.x

They are
And I still gotta make the vest, which will be the same process, as will be the quiver and armor pieces on the sleeves
I'm making the dress underneath out of cloth, at least, hence pattern modding
No way in hell I'd make that out of pipe cleaners x.x
