time completed: End of May 2001
hours spent: 10
worn at: Animazement 2001, Ohayocon 2002, Valentine's Day 2003

Why I chose this character:
This costume came to be as a last-minute fun little thing to wear for the con as a gothic j-rock inspired Fox.

How I made this costume:
Except for the vinyl gloves and boots, everything was homemade by me. I used purple velvet for the bodice, black vinyl for the skirt, and fluffy fake fur for the tail and stole. Black lace decorated the bodice and skirt :), and I made purple Fox ears to go with everything.

Thoughts on this costume:
I enjoyed wearing this around just for fun and was surprised at how many asked for my picture. For the Valentine’s Day Bash at eleven50 Michiru wore this costume and looked fantastic in it. I would like to use it again in a promo soon.
