The Kenshin costume I made

[sonjajade]

Okay, this was my first attempt at sewing a kimono and hakama, so bite my shiny metal ass if it doesn't look 100% authentic.


I was doing a final fit on him to be sure the side vents weren't too long (I made the outer kimono from a tablecloth I got at goodwill and it was only so long... not nearly long enough but I made it work) and one of the sleeves was longer than the other. Need to work on the wig a little, but short of the final adjustments and the sandals, Himura Kenshin is ready to go to the con!  (of course that's provided Cliff shaves first so I can draw the scar on...)

The hakama was EASY. The best part is that I made those to fit me, but they fit him just as perfect. That's uber cool.

That's good to hear in case I ever need to make them! How nice!
