Construction Notes: Body suit was made from a modified ice skater pattern. Skirt of fuku was taked from a ballet patter, bows are my own patterns, collar pattern was from a cheer leaders uniform. Gloves bottoms were bought and then modified to fit me better and the red toppers were made then attached. Lockets are made out of sculpty and plastic jewels. Boots were purchased through Electrique Boutique and then modified. Odango covers were made of styrofoam and glue. Tiara was also made by me and are available for sale in my shop.

My test run of the dye for the skirt and comparing it to my referemce pictures.
Dyn-a-flow was used to create the water color effect. It can be found in
most craft stores. If you do use this, makes sure you add water as it will
not bleed correctly.
More skirt painting samples. Practice makes perfect!
