This a photo Mark took during the Saturday night Higurashi shoot. Really digging this pose :3
There were only two of us Renas and 4 Keiichis. Then I think it was Shion who told us to fight. Us Renas were like "the hell? 2 VS 4?" So we each fought 2. We won =3

Here's the final product for my Ryuugu Rena costume.

Fun facts:

-> Took me 2 days straight to make the dress. Almost no sleeping and I ran to get food and/or ate my friend's food.
-> The wig needs to be re-styled as I did not put enough AquaNet into it. I also need to cut it a bit more in the back.
-> The bangs get in my eats and make them sting Dx
-> The cleaver is VERY flimsy. I had to hold onto the area the handle connected to the blade when posing and carrying it. I also had to wrap brown fabric around it (stylishly of course) to make the handle stay on.
-> The boots are not that dark.
-> My hat falls off all the time. Kept forgetting to pin it to my wig somehow.
-> The sleeves were not done correctly and will be re-done this summer.
-> My arms felt very fat while wearing this
-> The dress is made from a light-weight semi-stretch cotton material; it was the third fabric type I went through after 2 previous prototypes that failed epicly.
-> The purple bows are made of a silky material of win that I can't ever find again D:
-> The hat isn't finished: I didn't sew the blue band all the way down!
-> I based this off of the manga cover with Rena holding a cleaver behind her back.


Thank you Mark!
