Costume completed - July 31, 2005

Garnet or Dagger, is the main heroine of FF9. Yet another one I loved. She's a princess, but at least it's not your spoiled typical one.

Jumpsuit - I actually used a real pattern this time. I used the KwikSew 3052 and made adjustments to the pattern. Creating this jumpsuit was a really challenging experience. It was my first time to use eyelets on a costume too.

Choker - The choker was made from black stretchy fabric.

White Shirt - I made this using one of my shirts as a guide. I used some elastic on each piece of the arms to create the bunched up look.

Shoes - This was made from an old pair of boots I found at a thrift store. Using vinyl, I added some pieces to the shoe to match garnets. I used white yarn to sew the white lines across the shoe.

Necklace - This was made using paperclay, a fake crystal bought off e-bay, and clear cord. The chain was bought from Hobby Lobby.

Hair Tie - The hair tie was made from a piece of belt and a chopstick.  

Gloves - The gloves were found off e-bay and painted with acrylics. For the belt buckles on the jumpsuit and the gloves, I used craft foam.

Total spent - $164.75
