Last of the Star Driver stuff for a while, I promise!

Just a few episodes into Star Driver, I picked out Ivrogne/Keito to cosplay with our group...mostly because her outfit looked like it'd come straight out of Cirque du Soliel. OTL; I chose well and she ended up being one of my favourite characters of the series...despite her downfalls. 8D;

I think this is now something like my third or fouth bodysuit? Unfortunately, they're not getting easier! This one posed quite a few problems with the diagonal stripes - matching them on the side seams was really the least of my problems. But let's just say I'm REALLY glad the zip in the back is hidden by my bolero-thing? The body of the suit is a double layer of cotton lycra, with the top one having the sewing in detail of black velour stripes and heat-pressed gold vinyl. The weird legging things were also sewn in the suit, and are just a single layer of regular black lycra/spandex. All the gold ruffles are foil lame, and my bolero was made out of a combination of hopespun cotton, vinyl and CARDBOARD. 8D

I really love how the heart-shaped collar turned out, but my favourite part of this outfit is having a scrunchie! 8D Keito's just all scrunchie, all the time.

Many, many, many thanks also to ~JKale for joining me in Bouganvillae as Undine! 8D
