Yukirin
AKB0048 is one of my favorite idol shows, and Yukirin is my favorite of the successors! Creating this costume as a part of a collaborative AKB0048 group was tons of fun, and I brought it with me to many different cons over the years.
Many of the foundational pieces for this costume were purchased (such s the petticoat and dress shirt, as well as the half-gloves). The jacket pattern was drafted by Melvinopolis. We used cotton sateen for the navy sections, red poplin for the burgundy sections, and gold lamé bias tape for the edges. Our plaid was found at JoAnn Fabrics (but has since been discontinued).
