anime south 2008 (winner: judge's award)
I won a Judge's Award from Yaya Han for this cosplay. That's my big story. Also, making custom cosplay accessories before the proliferation of 3D printing was ROUGH, y'all don't even know.

Atobe's most effective maneuver is violating the Hay's Code.

I designed this specifically for the Metrocon Masquerade Ball. It's a princess gown based on the Hyotei uniform.

anime south 2009
This one was a real 10-footer. I had no idea how to create body or finish hems on gauzy fabric well. On the other hand, I was very much feeling myself.
2009 - Romana II, "Doctor Who"

I love Romana II so very much.
2010 - Ayumi Hamasaki, Countdown Live 08-09
closet cosplay
I never had any intention of wearing this in public, but I was still very happy with my construction game. This was from the period when I got a new sewing machine and was desperately throwing myself at projects, learning how to pattern, etc.
