So last week I restored a wig for the first ever time, that was a fun new experience! Took about two hours, when I started this was a tangled mess but i'm happy with how it turned out. Now it's *safely* packed until next time, as opposed to just being in a knotted mess with two other wigs.. :P

Today i'm going to try to do my purple wig, because I want to use it for my Yuri cosplay! Let's see how this goes...

Thank you so much! I'm really happy with how it came out

I also sent it to a group chat i'm in that have been helping me out with tips for wigs and two people said it looked perfect for Yuri before I even told them that's what it was for XD <3 So i'm very happy

~Current Progress~

Miku Senbonzakura: I want to get some new gloves for this, need to find some purple thigh highs too.. but I think i'll stick to wearing leggings for cons as the skirt is VERY short lol

Mettaton EX: No real progress SORRY

Leaf: The one wig I need to restore still aaaa soon I swear

Yuri: Wig is restored, cut the bangs a little bit but i'll probably make some more adjustments! Looking forward to getting the uniform

Roxy Lalonde: I know she's not in my plans but seeing how I still have her wig i'm hoping to maybe pull together a casual outfit for her for 4/13!


Just kinda saving up now, Yuri's uniform will be my next priority, and i'm hoping at some point I can get a wig for Monika or Natsuki too so I can do those as well!

Thank chu~

I was nervous about taking pictures without my lenses (Had to take them out as they were hurting) but luckily in this lighting my eyes looked more green which kinda matched~ Sometimes they can look very blue and I think that would of looked a little more odd lol
I know it's a small detail to worry about but ah that's just me

Bought my DDLC uniform! Can't wait for it to get here aaaa
Next character to focus on erm.. probably leaf? I already have a skirt that works so I just need to get the vest together and then work out the hat and bag!

I'll probably do Roxy before then as even though she isn't on my plans I already have the wig and it's literally just a shirt and skirt LOL

Cirno i'm hoping maybe I can make myself because a lot of the versions I found are either extremely overpriced or the hips would be too small for me (big hips life) but i'm not confident enough in my sewing skills yet so that'll definitely be in a few months lol
If I love my DDLC uniform I may do Monika as well too
