Ok, I've decided that I do want to cosplay but there's some things that are keeping me from a decision at the present...First off, I do have a sewing machine and some patterns and such but I'm no pro at sewing. I made that xmas stocking and potholder in school and an okay Sailor Saturn-esque costume one Halloween (pics are evading me tho I can't find them!) Basically I want to do one of these that will be easy enough for me to put together b/c I have a limited amount of time to do it in. Also I guess keep in mind that my boyfriend is going with me too...I dunno if I can convince him to dress up but it'd be easier to convince him if it wasn't something outlandish and maybe related to my costume but I'd be putting it together. I'll put a lil list of pros/cons that I've come up with for each but I still want opinions...and if you don't recognize the characters please just google them lol.

In no particular order:

Yohko from Devil Hunter Yohko. Pros: I have a pattern for a shirt that is exactly like the top of the dress and it shouldn't be terribly hard to put together except for the yin yang. Could maybe dress my bf as the guy she likes b/c it's a normal Japanese school outfit. Cons: I'll need a wig, my hair is too short which means I'll need to style it in the braids. Comfy red high heels.

Hikaru from Angelic Layer. Pros: The cuteness! I have no idea what the pros are... Cons: Emulating the cuteness, this could prove to be difficult to make with nothing to go on...

Ayane from the Dead or Alive fighting game series in the 2nd game's purple costume (purple dress with the butterfly and the red bow). Pros: There's not a whole lot to this costume so it shouldn't be too hard to make. Cons: Can't really think of any except I'm sure that my bf isn't going to dress up as any of the male characters, lol. I found an okay priced purple wig online too....her hair is a little easier...

and for some sort of reference this is my bf and I from last weekend. Also if there's some other characters that you think I'd be better off doing or going as feel free to offer that opinion as well. Thanks!
