Raine was a non-playable character in FF8 who had a big impact on the storyline. I loved playing through the flashbacks that told her story in the game. For this second round, I did her really simple outfit.

Sweater - This was bought on E-bay. I was satisfied with the sweater as it was. No alterations here.

Pants - I used an older pair of my own pants that had that matched a bit closer to what showed in the FMV at the end of FF8 versus the in-game pants.

Headband - The only sewing involved in this costume was her yellow headband thing. It was a simple long rectangle shape with a simple seam in the middle. The material was slightly stretchy so this allowed it to fit snuggly on my head.

Accessories - Raine has a pair of earrings that are very similar to a pair I had. She also given a ring in which I made out of a silver ring, spray it gold. I added a silver glitter dot in place to attempt to mimic a diamond. Yes, very ghetto. I used simple black tied up boots. It was very difficult to tell what type of shoes she wears. Raine has blue eyes, so I was able to use the contacts at the time that I got for my future Yuna costume for her.

Total spent - $7.96.
