Cosplayer: Darcy Welling

Character Name: Hope Estheim

Series Name: Final Fanatsy XIII

Comments: This cosplay was hand made by myself. Many elements of it were actually made without a pattern, such as the jacket, bandana, side pouch and tassles on the pants. I had to draw the pattern on the bandana by hand. I also had to dye a pair of pants I already had and add ribbing to the bottom. This is by far one of my favorite costumes and I am so proud of it. I made the entire thing by myself including the wig which I spent hours on. I even tried to go the extra mile by getting circle lenses for the costume. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I truely hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
