Description
"See, now here is the fearThat you live with every year
And you wonder if you'll make it out alive
A change'll do
A change of scenery'll free you
But there's never one way to roll
So find a way to take a picture of a moment
That you know you can't control..."
-Caleb Kane "In Your Own Way"

INB4--'that's not the only thing that's big *boobs*'
Note: I'd love to do a Soviet siblings shoot/CMV someday. Perhaps to this song.
Another odd moment of "Conta cosplaying her own gender." This dress was the bane of my existence for a few weeks, from finding fabric making a dress for the first time... However, thanks to ~GoldenMochi for helping me with last minute details and *XMoonLilyX for loaning me a wig when mine didn't arrive on time, Ukraine managed to be finished in time.
The pink fabric is hand dyed, dress and apron made without a pattern [horrible idea], red details hand-stitched and the deathtraps attached to my feet [aka heels] were painted white with leather paint. Of course you can't see most of these in this photo. xD
Despite no one recognizing either *XMoonLilyX or myself as Liechtenstein and Ukraine respectfully, we had great fun being super pink and frilly on Sunday at MCM May Expo in London... not to mention our feet slowly being killed by our high heels. We ended up supporting one another most of the day [however oddly enough the pain seemed to vanish when "Winter Wrap Up" from MLP: FiM came on the loudspeakers; cue singing and extreme dancing].
((I even wandered over to the Hetalia gathering looking for =CrimsonGaara and ~CaramelRevolution , and no one identified me as Ukraine xD. I did get asked if I was Hungary, though, LOL!))

I didn't see you! D: I don't remember any Ukraines. >.< ;; I wasn't around the Hetalians for long on Sunday unfortunately... spent most of my time with *Claremon , who kind of prefers to go into the convention and see her different friendship groups.
I wish I got the chance to see you! D: You look awesome here!

Oh dear! I actually made a point to walk over to the Hetalia gathering and look out for you and *Claremon . I was pretty sure I saw you guys, but perhaps it was someone else I said "hello" to!
*Claremon and I have that in common~ I didn't do much besides chill with my friends. Not my favorite con, but pretty similar to American cons such as NYCC/NYAF.

Really? Because I don't remember anyone saying hello to me. I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered you, your dress looks amazing in the picture and I don't remember seeing anything like it on the day. >.<
Ahh, haha. Same goes with me. I really want to go Kitacon a go.

That's mainly due to *RavenBlakh ! I was so surprised at the "doll like" look too, since I'm not very "doll"ish in real life!
I loved cosplaying it since that was the time I got to derp around with you the most! <3

Thank you! I honestly don't care much for the costume, but it was fun cosplaying someone different for a change.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Someone asked if you were Hungary? How does that even make sense? My brain is broken.

Yes. Seriously. I'm not quite sure where it came from. I guess the flower might have been a throw off... or the fact that I was wearing a maid like dress. But from the small line up of Hetalia characters, I'd like to think this costume looks the most like Ukraine. xD;

BARELY! I tried to muscle through as best I couold it so that *XMoonLilyX had someone to lean against... she had higher heels on then me so it was the least I could do xD
