Welcome to the WIP page for my Kyoko Kirigiri cosplay! I loved this series so much, and Kyoko immediately stole my interest. I'm in love with her as a character and absolutely had to channel her in a cosplay. This page will update with current progress when milestones of its completion are met. Much of the process will be streamed, however due to a variety of factors the streams will not be able to be archived on YouTube.

My goal for this cosplay is to find pieces I can convert rather than sewing it from scratch, particularly the blazer. Frankly put, sleeves just aren't my thing. I have an awful time executing them, so if I can avoid making them I absolutely will. I feel like I should be able to find a blazer that is a good base where I can alter the sleeves and change out buttons.

The skirt would be easy to make, so I likely won't spend much time looking for one to source and will just make that myself. Honestly, the boots are what I am the most nervous about. Ideally I would find actual boots like hers (because let's be honest they're awesome and I want to wear them all the time anyway), but I'm pretty sure I will have to make boot covers like I did for Sailor Jupiter.

The wig is Arda's Venus in Lilac, with extra wefts sewn in on the left side to form the braid (and cover bald spots it creates). In this cos-test picture I hadn't made the braid yet or trimmed up the bangs, so there's still some work to be done!

I am sourcing colored circle lens contacts, and will practice my eyeliner game to fake having the right eye shape. Beyond that, makeup and styling should be pretty simple. Some creative hairspray usage will create the separation I need in the bangs and the front sections of hair, but the rest of the hair will be left to flow naturally. I'm a pale person as it is, so just some light blush and a nude lip will be all that I need to round out that part of the look.
