Description Myself as Lulu from Final Fantasy X. Photo taken by Al [Eurobeat King] at A-Kon 2008. You can definitely tell how much detailing work my belts still need here [they were such a rush job], but I rather enjoy my expression. You can also tell that the corset actually does its job, LOL. My poor little mog got a dirty bottom from sitting on the parking garage pavement.

Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! :3

Lovely Lulu~! I actually like how the belts look here because some Lulu costumes have very haphazardly arranged belts. @_@;

Moogle~ >w< did you make it yourself or is that the official Moogle plush?

cupcake-rufflebutt In reply to KeeleZeibel [2009-08-29 01:13:59 +0000 UTC]

The belts are indeed one of the most difficult parts of the costume. They deserved much more time than I was able to put into them, so hopefully next time I will do them justice. ^__^ And that is the official Square Enix plush, all $42 of him. I hated spending so much, but the others I was finding online looked so cheap and questionable.

KeeleZeibel In reply to cupcake-rufflebutt [2009-08-29 15:45:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh goodness... $42 is quite a heavy price tag... @_@; it looks good though.
Can't wait to see more photos! ^_^

Thanks, but it would be almost impossible to remain decent in this costume if the corset and fur were made to sit as low in the bust as hers. I'd rather not make an exhibition of myself.

He [I like to think it's a he] still has a smudged bottom, but it's not noticeable at all. ^__^ Thank you for the comment!

I really love your Lulu! Even if the belts are not finished, I give you props for trying to get them exact and not just using randome belts.

Well, yeah, I tried, LOL. I put them together in all of MAYBE 4 hours, so I didn't get too far.

RydiaValentine In reply to ??? [2009-08-23 09:48:15 +0000 UTC]

I think your belts are really good! Very few people put effort enough to make them and just buy some random heavy metal belts but I love yours! And the Mog is sooo cute!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

cupcake-rufflebutt In reply to RydiaValentine [2009-08-27 21:00:41 +0000 UTC]

Lulu's design is so incredibly deceptive because a lot of people assume, "Oh, this will be easy! I'll just buy a bunch of belts and throw them on the dress!" but it obviously doesn't work because the belts are so heavy that they droop and drag on the floor. ^__^; Thankfully I had been cosplaying long enough to know that another route was necessary.

RydiaValentine In reply to cupcake-rufflebutt [2009-08-28 07:26:18 +0000 UTC]

You are right. And it's more accurate to make the belts yourself, since it's imposible to find the same belts in a shop o.O

Oh jeez, Grayson, are you trying to kill me? LOL. I'm going to remake it one day, but it will literally mean starting from scratch, and it makes me cry a little on the inside to think about doing all of this over again, except better. Effing Lulu.
