ReferencePicturesStanding, with seemsChapter Splash, b/wMeeting Misao, vol.8(I'll also be studying the manga for this costume) Previous CosplayersI'm pulling mostly from MasqB's cosplay site, though I don't agree with exactly how she decided on the costume. I think I'm at the point where I just like seeing tips from previous cosplayers, but otherwise I can figure it out myself. PatternsFor this costume, I'm modifying a pattern found at JoAnn's - McCall's 2940. It looks like I'm going with view A - there are five patterns in this set, including two Geisha style kimono and a ninja looking thing. I'll be modifying the Karate robe and pants by shortening the pants into shorts and the sleeves into something more like Misao's look.

Process
2/16/09 - I've got four and a half months to do this, so I'm not particularly anxious. Bought fabric and some materials - Icy Blue Symphony Solid for the light blue ($4.83), Quilter's Solid New Navy for the dark blue ($19.95) and Flamingo Symphony for the sash ($5.37). We found shoulder pads which we're going to use for the handpiece ($4.29), along with the light blue edging ($1.89).
Time - 30 minutes, probably less (We also spent a lot of time on another project I'm working on)
Cost - $44.10 (With the pattern)
