Inspiration: At first I didn't like Lacus at all, but then the more I watched SEED... the more she grew on me. This is my favorite outfit of hers even though you only see it for 2.5 seconds! It was Christmas and my roommate, Richii, said she wanted to whip something up for me and asked what I wanted. I told her "Lacus' poofiest maximus dress" and, well, she just laughed at me lol and said there was no way she could. Then the next thing I know, we're going fabric shopping for it!

Favorite Aspect: My skirt. There's 10 yards of fabric alone on the skirt with around 30 different panels.

Least Favorite Aspect: I really dislike the color pink lol, but I love this dress!! Also I'm far too dark to be cosplaying as pale-little-not-puerto-rican-Lacus, but that's okay lol.

Easiest Task: Wig. Didn't do a single thing to it lol.

Hardest Task: Painting. At one point there were 4 of us painting on it lol.
