That's a good idea. ^-^ I hadn't thought of short shorts, that definitely makes me feel better about showing. I was also contemplating the idea of cutting up and adding onto a leotard, and maybe adding startch or something, as well as clear straps for added support. I'm not sure though, about the red areas or the Fluff stuff-I'm not sure what I should make that out of . I'm thinking feathers, but I'm not sure how to do that, or find the right type of feathers for it. Yes, I agree, it is a difficult cosplay, especially when there's really only a couple good refs to go by. I'm thinking of drawing a better version that would be easier to go by for me, or for others. I wish the place in Orange County would talk to me about it for the same reason you mentioned, I prefer it nearby to make sure it fits right. I really wish I could find someone nearby that knew how(Bakersfield California, I'm willing to go to L.A. though). I can't find anybody. ;A; Thanks for your help though, if you get any other ideas, please let me know, I might end up having to make it myself, though I don't know much about sewing other than by hand. >_<
