Just under a month to go until the expo (29th-30th May) and my Sakura Haruno costume is almost completed. Having bought a little make up, some better shorts (I didn't like the shorts that came with the costume. Too baggy and wrong colour, they look like Kakashi's shorts tbh) and a face waxing kit (not looking forward to that) i now have all the components required.
All that's left is to have the dress/top taken in a bit. I do find it funny that I had to take the time to measure myself all over (and weigh myself) so they could create a costume tailored to my exact size, only for them to send me what I can only assume is approximately a UK14! I'm a UK10 all over! (I believe that's a US6, I'm quite skinny anyway!) I can't be sending it back to China for alterations, it may not return in time so a local alteration shop is required.
My friend who invited me to the expo is going as Altair from Assassin's Creed 1, I've seen his costume, it's ace! I cannot wait to go and experience my first expo and crossplay! It will be epic!
