Fuu, Magic Knight Rayearth

This was a character that made me really happy to cosplay because she’s one who I feel has a very similar personality to me, maybe more than any other character I’ve ever cosplayed. I like how she stays cool under pressure and works to solve problems, most of the time by having a good attitude about it and being nice. Also I just really wanted to make a giant flowy Clamp dress!

Overall this costume was simple to construct but it did take a lot of time just because of how much fabric there is. The skirt has 4 layers of fabric, each of which is 3 yards long – that adds up to a lot of poof! I tried to use a very lightweight fabric for the cloak to give it that drape and flow it needed without getting to heavy or bogged down. I’m really happy with the results and loved how all the fabric moves when I wear it!
