Description This is a preview of my Candy Cane Rumble Roses photoshoot that I held over the weekend.

This costume came about becase I needed something to pair with the Haruhi Suzumiya. I showed my friend some sample ideas and she preferred to do Candy Cane from Konami's video game Rumble Roses XX, in her Superstar Mode.

This is just a preview shot of the shoot. I don't know how many more pictures I will upload here. Thanks for viewing!

For those interested, the skirt and top were commissioned from the same seamstress who did the Bunny Haruhi costume. All other items, I scrounged up from various sources.

Points:
1. I AM NOT THE PERSON IN THE CANDY CANE COSTUME. So please don't ask for details on the costume.
2. My photo subject in the costume is into anime but is NOT a cosplayer. In fact, I am hesitant to tag this Deviation under Cosplay. Also, because of that fact, I will not hand out her contact info but anything you want to say to her, I can pass it along.
3. This outfit is, by my reckoning, maybe only at 60% acceptable since I had more input into having it assembled.
3.1 The boots should have platform soles
3.2 The collar should have been smaller, the collar I picked up was too large for her
3.3 The skulls in the gloves were a nice touch but were too loose for her hands
3.4 She should actually be wearing straps the attach to the collar and reach down to her bra
3.5 There should be a purple cord tied to her thigh
3.6 The boots are too high cut
3.7 There are supposed to be shin guards but the boot cut was too high that we opted not to have it worn
3.8 There is supposed to be a cloth arm cover on her left arm but the one I got was too loose

(Some of you MAY recognize the person I used for this shoot.)

thanks but i need to work on this again, I'm not too happy with it. Wait for the reshoot, maybe next, next month. Myself and my friend will be working on a different set of costumes for next month's photoshoot.

thanks, but i'm sort of a perfectionist so i REALLY need to fix all those items I listed above. Not to mention i need to find a heart pendant and key and padlock to make it more accurate.

Those kind of perfectionism can bring you to the grave
But there's nothing wrong in aiming for the big 100%!
So good luck!

wellllllllll, the cosplayers here in the Philippines, some of them can very particular on costume details... NOT that I'd care, since my friend and I don't mingle with the local cosplay scene.

Still, it'd be better to aspire to do better, right? I'll make the next round of shoots for this costume better. We're negotiating to use a bar as backdrop for a location shoot using this costume and the bunny costume as well.
