Misa Amane

Emerald City Comic Convention is this weekend here in Seattle and I'm putting together a Misa costume from Death Note (one of my favorite animes/mangas). The costume I had been planning fell through because I bleached my hair. This may be a little last minute, but I'm pleased with how it's coming along.

I spent my afternoon adjusting a shirt I already owned. First I sewed lace along the bottom.

Then I sewed the darts in closer since the shirt was always too big for me. Which resulted in a really cute ruffle on the back(Score!):

Finally I sewed more lace to the cuffs and collar. I also made the collar look rounded by using rounded lace sewn to the outside:

Even Mom was impressed by how it looked. She says I'm improving. I hope so.

I got tights for Misa! Looked online on Hottopic.com and Claires.com and Hottopic had them for $6! I also got some chunky heels at Value Village for $4, so my costume is complete. I'm thinking I'll make a new tie after this weekend, but here it is:



I also finished my Death Note, but that'll go in another post.
