i'm so bored. anyway i've recently remodelled my byakua costume. last time it was handsewn with lame alternate stitches, so i took them off and replaced it with machine stitch, sewing up the edges as well. also replaced my crayon drawn patterns and six symbol with black cloth (which was a pain to stitch on). looks so much better now!
from last year the unchanged objects were the kenseikan,





and the straw sandals,





and the new remodelled stuff!
first the top




a closer view. i replaced the string ties to enzyme buckles.




and the sleeves. made it so that the white stitches doesn't seem so obvious from the iside.




the pants. initially it was sewed on to another real pants, but i separated them and made the waist size much smaller. (it was like waist 50 ahahah overestimated due to the pleats.)
here's the front of it,




and the back of it.




not much difference except the back has this buckle.




also the taichou coat. the inside is black! last time you were able to see a lot of white stitches from the inside. but now i've hidden them all :D




the back of the coat with the six symbol.




a closer look at the six symbol. this was hell. it was not only difficult to sew on but because of the crayon markings previously, it turned my sewing machine black (my hands too). and it made a lot of smudges around. gotta send it for bleaching soon.




same for the patterns.




lastly, the shawl. not much to look at. it is very very long.




same for the obi.
