Here's my Leafeon gijinka I redid from NYAF '08!
Photo was taken by Mark on the Sunday before we left. I wasn't in the best of moods though >.>;

Fun Facts:

-> The costume was fairly simple, but I kept improvising when I realized it didn't fit over my giant hips >.> The result was me ripping the seams up the sides and re-sewing to makes triangular slits.
-> The triangular slits can make this an innocent or a risque costume: If tights are worn underneath (like I was during the con) it's covering up everything nicely. Without tights or anything, it becomes a 'omg Leafeon's trying to show me some leg' thing (I tried walking around and sitting while at home without the leggings and as long as I kept my legs together while sitting, I could run and stuff without anything showing though it show quite a bit of leg.
-> The leaves were bought from a Michael's craft store and repainted and sewn on. The ears were made by taking 2 of the larger leaves and bending the wired stem to fit on my head. The tail was made similarly by taking 2 giant leaves, cutting the stem off one and gluing it to the other so they overlapped somewhat.
-> There is elastic sewn around the bust area but it does nothing! I sewed it in wrong and it does not stretch as I had intended (I need to wear a certain bra or inserts and that bra so it doesn't slip down) xD
-> I did not plan on what footwear to use. For the Masquerade, I walked around barefoot. The rest of the time I wore my awesome grey and pink&white striped sneakers!
-> AquaNet did not seem to work on my hair, thus it was just a giant mess >.>
-> This costume debuted at the AnimeNext 2009 Masquerade in a Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh skit! [link]


Thanks for the photo Mark!
