Inspiration: Sailor Moon is THE anime that got me into anime, so I knew I had to pay homage one day to this great series. I've always thought I looked like Sailor Jupiter, since middle school (because let's face it, I've ALWAYS been the tallest out of all my friends... all my life. Oh, and I'm a brunette with green eyes.) but have never really had any desire to make her fuku. That is, until Diana informed me that she would be making Eternal Sailor Mars. Then I thought "Why not ETERNAL Sailor Jupiter?" since that meant I wouldn't have to purchase green lace-up ankle boots. XDDD I still want to cosplay PGSM Moon one day, though. Yeah, I know I'm too tall, but hey, let me have my childhood dreams and I'll let you have yours. ;D
Favorite Aspect: The boot covers turned out REALLY well, I was pleasantly surprised! In most pictures, you can't even see the seams! :3
Least Favorite Aspect: The back bow was rushed, the front bow was limp, the sleeves were TOO big and poofy, the sleeve tubes were too tight, the wig was poorly styled, and the gloves were missing their V-accent ribbon. Let's just say she's in need of a revamp or retirement.
Easiest Task: Hohoho~, buying the leotard (CHEAP, I know :3) and instructing my aunt on how to make the earrings (which I then painted green). :DDD
Hardest Task: Finishing the costume. XD I was literally still sewing AS I put in on.
