Inspiration: The materials for Lenalee's costume have been sitting in my closet for over a year now. @_@ (somebody's lazy!) Considering this month's contest, though, I figured it would be good to use it as an opportunity for some motivation for her. Phew! Big thankya much to NosebleedIruka for letting me borrow the pigtails she used for her Hiwarimi costume! (expect them in the mail soon!) and my friend Maya for making the collage. I appreciate it so much! I gotta say that this is now my favorite costume without a doubt.

Favorite Aspect: The black-and-white! Man, D.Gray-Man uniforms are super-shnazzy. And black/white's my favorite color combo to be wearing in general!

Least Favorite Aspect: Despite the skirt, this isn't really a comfortable summer costume.. e___e; And it's mostly black, too!

Easiest Task: Making the stockings! I actually thought that would be really hard, so I saved it for last e___e; (not a good idea, usually...) It turned out to be not so bad of a task after all! Thank goodness.

Hardest Task: Making the black stitching on the front collar flap! That took lots of heat-and-bond, tiny stitching, and patience ;_; Also, the shoulderpads were pretty difficult as well.

Awards:
