Mai - Avatar

Hooray! Another commission finished (well, the costume part of it, at least), and I'm starting to feel like I'm at least getting back on schedule...

This outfit is Mai, from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I have to say, I love all of the costumes from this show, even if I've never seen it. The research for this one yielded a lot of really awesome outfits, simple, but one's that could easily be done wrong (as I've seen a lot of people do, too) because people think that they're too simple, so they cut corners on it.

Anywho, this is a shirt, which zips up the back, a jacket, which snaps on, and fake hakama, which are insanely full like you wouldn't believe (and I'm currently writing a really long tutorial for). They'll look so cool on the commissioner, I know that for sure!

All cottons, by the commissioners request, and was really easy to work with, although I spent more time ironing this than sewing parts of it That stupid collar on the shirt, too, gave me problems, like a collar never has before... I must have just been dumb the past few days XP

Not to mention, my camera decided to hate me, and I had to put this outfit on the dress form... 4 times? Hence the crinklie, I'm sorry! I kept looking and seeing that the pictures were on the card, would undress the form, and then plug in the card, only to find it blank or corrupted -___- Hooray technology

So... yeah! Hooray! New costume, done and done! Gonna work on the wig as soon as the wig base arrives.
