Description
From the moment I saw Lulu's character, I just had to make her outfit. It's so unique and original, and looked like such a promising challenge...and it was! It took me three tries to design a successfully working belt skirt, and after painting her trim, I decided I didn't like it and went for embroidery instead. I put a lot of time into this costume (it was my pet project for nearly a year), but I'm very happy with how it turned out. It wears like normal clothing; I can easily move, climb, sit, even run in it, and it's sturdy and washable to boot.I had the most fun adding my own artistic touches to make my Lulu costume stand out from all the others, as she's a frequently cosplayed character. There's the hand dyed, brightly colored embroidery and sequins I used as trim, as well as the beading on her corset and the beaded braidfall I made. Although it's not 100% accurate to her character art, it is 100% unique, and is one of my favorite costumes to wear...especially since Lulu's quiet, mysterious demeanor is so much fun to play. ^_^

Awesome job! I've wanted to cosplay as Lulu from the first moment I saw her, but I don't have the skills to make an awesome costume. I can't sew to save my life. Lol! I love this costume, and while it may not be 100% accurate, it's the best Lulu costume I've seen.

Wow How does the belt skirt work? One would think it'd be impossible to walk around with all of them hanging around.
