Description

This is a cosplay of Mana from "Mermaid Saga" (a somewhat old manga written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi).

I originally made this costume in three days before an event and it turned out fairly well.
All the flowers and squiggles are hand painted using regular fabric paint.The kimono is fully lined.
The obi is made using printed cotton and closed with velcro.The floppy bow is hooks into the obi with "U" shaped wire.

Since I initially didn't have much time to make this I only applied one layer of paint.But since then I was able to apply another layer of paint to the flowers to help them "pop".

The final look is somewhat of a mismash of what the costume looks like in the manga vs the anime.
Also since Mana is not a very recognised character ,it gave me some creative liberties and I was able to add and change things as I wanted(while still remaining true to the character).
