This is my most difficult costume to date. I had never made wings before, so that was a trial that nearly made me quit the costume a few times. ^^;; They took about 30 hours to make. Tutorials online are for feathered wings, so I was kind of on my own (along with the help of my Athena, of course) since my wings were not supposed to be feathered. It was also hard getting the wings to fold properly like in the artwork. The costume is 80% pleather, so that was another pain in the ass. Because the pleather is so stiff, I can hardly move in the costume. Also, the wig makes me blind because of the bangs. I am a walking hazard in this cosplay. XD Even though it was terrible to make (and wear), it is still my favorite costume. <3
