A photo (of my Maylene cosplay) that my friend took at Kumoricon that I liked. I made the costume from scratch with some help from ~Kaseopaya and ~RikkuGrape .

To the comment above, it's suppose to be spelled "Mey-Rin." However, if you were to spell it in Japanese, it is spelled "Meirin." If you were to romanize the name, it will be known as Maylene. So either way, the names are correct and there is no right or wrong. I rest my case.

Anyways, you are so cute as Maylene, Christy! I wish I have the skills of making costumes from scratch. xD But I would seriously mess up if I even tried. xD

Thank you for the wonderful explanation! It's always bugged me about what her official name should be, since it's different in the manga, the Japanese anime, and the English-dubbed anime. I just go by Maylene, though, because I read the manga first, and as far as I know, Maylene seems to fit England a bit more than the Japanese-sounding versions of her name. ^^

Ah, thank you!! You probably could, if you had Petra and Gina to help you figure out things. I'm not that experienced with sewing either.

Ha ha, that's what I thought as well. Maylene fits the Victorian era more than Mey-Rin. I haven't sewn for a long time, so even knowing the basics will be a bit difficult for me. xD;

Exactly! Well, if you've got Petra and Gina and a sewing machine to use, you can do it. That's what I did. *w* You can also hand-sew; that's how Céilí made her part of her costumes!

Ha ha, I hand sew too. xD But so time consuming.

I know, right? Sewing machines are great! You should definitely invest in one if you are considering making your own cosplays in the future.

As ~Yami-Tsubasa-Ookami explained, her name can either be Mey-Rin, Meirin, or Maylene. I go by what her name should be in the manga, not the anime. You would understand why her name has so many versions if you were able to read katakana.
