Costume completed – Feb. 9, 2005
Version 2 completed - Dec. 21, 2010

Top – I used my Tifa AC top as a guide to make this. I made the size a little bigger because I had planned on cutting the fabric into strips and sewing them together to get the lines on the top. The top was lined with gray bias tape after the collar was added.

Sleeves – I used a vinyl material for the black and the maroon. I used a strip of maroon and sewed it to the top middle of the shoulder.

Gloves – This was the same leather gloves used from Squall as Rinoa.

Belts – The waist one was found at thrift store and painted. I added four silver tassels and the chain to each side. The belt that lies across the hip was made by hand using PVC leather.

Skirt – I made this using my Tifa Nibelheim skirt as a pattern. Again, I added a bit more space to enable me to cut the fabric in strips and sew together to get the lines.

Pants – These were the same pants that I had used with Rinoa as Squall.

Shoes – These were brown ankle boots that I had previously owned.

Whip – This was made from a wooden dowel, a chain purchased at Hobby Lobby, and craft foam. On my second attempt at making this, I tried a different method. I used a wooden dowel, rope, cable, paperclay, and the end of my naruto kunai for the sharp end. I made this whip based on what it looked like in the Qusistis cold cast statue with Selphie and Leviathan.

Hair Barrette – This was made from craft foam.

Total Money Spent - $56.71
