Your beauty truly does suit Zelda's character Your amazing ability to capture all the intricate details in her design (particularly in her dress and the hair). Your face is perfect for this character as well; it is delicate and ethereal - an immaculate match for the elven princess. I suggest you do some characters from Lord of the Rings as well - your beauty would flawlessly capture the described ethereal majesticness of the characters as well

But besides your obviously attractive appearance, your ability to identify and create the details of this character's garb is astounding. The trim work (on both the dress bodice and the bottom of the skirt that is ridiculously intricate and delicate) is flawless almost inhumanely so. You've melticulously selected the exact shades and colours of the character's design (the dress, her hair and armour). Also, your wig is perfect; the color, highlights, heaviness and braid-work.

It truly is astounding how you have replicated the armour and details and, me being the critical person I am, their measurements. You are probably curious by measurements. You have managed to size the pieces correctly as they appear in the official artwork for Twilight Princess for Zelda. My only critique for this costume is that you have no Link of matching excellence to complete it

Sorry, I know it's been nearly a year since you left me this comment, but it's so touching that I had a hard time coming up with an adequate response. I want you to know that I truly appreciate it. So thank you! I did work very hard on this costume, and this comment makes me feel like all the long hours and hard work spent was well worth it.

Thank you. ^ ^ Well, there's this photo [link] , but that's the closest I've got. I'm wondering if you just want to see what the back of Toon Zelda's costume looks like? If that's the case, and you own Wind Waker, you can get the figure guy to make you a figure of Princess Zelda. That's what I ended up using as one of my main references.
