Lina Inverse
Character:
Lina Inverse
Version: TV - Next Season
Series: Slayers
When Completed: January 2008
Reason: Slayers is one of my favorite animes EVER. I simply love it. If you haven't watched it yet go do it. Lina is a character I identify a LOT with, plus she is bad ass. I was so so happy to finally be able to do this. I was even more lucky to have my boyfriend, Sozokureed, be my Gourry!

Construction
notes:
This costume is super comfy since it is made out of yummy stretch velour. The tunic was done using a heavily altered jacket pattern and dress pattern. I would have been better off not using one! The bra and undines are also made out of stretch material for comfort and ease. All the gems were casted out of resin and took forever! The cape is made out of taffeta and a purple lining fabric, and was made using my own pattern. My armor is made out of foam, and the dagger was by Sozokureed.
