Wooo, one good picture of me as Rufus! 8D



Notes on this cosplay: I made it, yes. The only parts I did not make were the two shirts and the shoes (which you can't even see).

THE FABRIC WAS SUCH A BITCH. If you look carefully, you'll notice that his suit is in fact white with white pinstripes. In an effort to be as accurate as possible, I found a white shirting fabric that had the pinstripes to make the coat out of. It was expensive, but not as expensive as some ACTUAL silk suiting I also found that was a white/cream/silver color with white pinstripes.... THAT fabric was like, 100 a yard, instead of just 20 or however much this stuff was.

In any case, the damn thing wrinkles so easily, and I have discovered in making this that I HATE SEWING SUITS, and I have plans to make at least two more outfits that are suits... orz.

But it's so much fun to walk around in, cuz I get to be snotty and full of it and tell people (my Turks) what to do. I originally made it as a surprise for 's Reno, as we RP them together. She nearly had a heart attack when I walked out, it was wonderful. :3

I love Rufus, he's so badass... I mean, really? HE WIELDS A SHOTGUN ONE-HANDED.

I'll be getting a new wig soon... but. That has to wait til I actually have money.

Also, I want a giant black dog for when I make his FF7 outfit. Cuz Dark Nation is the shit.
