Why I chose to make this costume:
A friend of mine suggested for me to be Aya because he thought that I looked like the character. I have always liked Parasite Eve, so I was quickly sold on the idea.

How I made this costume:
I cut and styled the wig and made the fully-lined dress. Don't ask me why the seam is on the wrong side, lol. The shoes and gun were purchased. Simple enough ^_^.

My thoughts on this costume:
I really love this costume, especially the way the wig turned out. Posing with guns is fun :). I recently did a re-shoot of this costume at sunset, with 7 years difference between the photos! I used blue contacts this time and a new, better looking, gun. I also used a different pair of shoes I had laying around. I don't know, I kinda like the peep-toe with the dress! :)
