Since I am finished with my civilian Mimete cosplay (and the convention), I thought I would share pictures of it with everybody! I am super proud of how it turned out, especially since it was my first time attempting interfacing, lining, and buttonholes. All of that hard work paid off though because I won my first costume contest ever! I was hoping to have a picture of the dorky pose that Mimete does when she goes out the door, but none of the ones on my friend's camera came out. I know a bunch of Moonies took the same picture, so hopefully some will pop up on the internet in the next few weeks. EDIT: Here is one taken by an artist in the dealer's room.

P.S. I am too lazy to retype what I wrote on DeviantArt, so if you want to know more about the costume, either read the DA description or ask me questions here. Thanks!

Thanks! Yup! And it was a pain in the butt to make, but it was definitely worth the challenge! I had to undo and redo different seams so many times just to get the sleeves and yokes to fit correctly because I was dumb and didn't trim the interfacing to the seam allowance before fusing it on. Lesson definitely learned! OTL; :bunnykonataeye

This is super adorable!!!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I love Mimete and you did such a good job!!!

Congratulations on winning the contest! The costume turned out really great and you look like you are enjoying every moment wearing it. Great job :3

Guys! Andi's cosplay was posted on Viz's Twitter!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Wow this is FAB!! Dat pose tho omg XD.

I really appreciate that you took the time and effort to make your own jacket especially (not to mention dying the wig, making shoe covers, putting wire in the scarf so it sits just so….). There are a surprising variety of styles when it comes to trench coats. You could have just bought (or dyed) a yellow coat from somewhere and the overall effect would appear the same to most but it would inevitably have different buttons, storm flaps, and pockets than Mimete's.

So, kudos! And congrats on the win! Very well-deserved.
