Princess Ai is a super cute, short manga. I fell in love with Ai's clothing on the cover of Volume 2. I'm fairly pleased with how this costume turned out. If I could change one thing, it would be the wing harness. It leaves rope burns on my arms and throat, and I slowly asphyxiate while I wear them. The feathers are really sharp, so they're continuously stabbing me in the back, too. :\ Other than that, the costume is relatively comfortable. I love all of the little accessories. I'm sad my temporary tattoo doesn't really show in the photos! The wig was cut, dyed, and frizzed out by me. All of the accessories were made by me, including the belts (which aren't actually belts; the buckles are only for decoration ^^;). In the beginning, I was totally torn about the guitar. I did not want to drop $80.00 on a prop I didn't even know how to play. In the end, I'm glad I did because I love it! ♥
