Also ordered my hat today. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find the right hat in the right size?
(No, not cosplaying from Girl Genius. Yet. One of these days, Gil, one of these days)

Just need to close up the waistband!
And then add the lettering - "Physicist" on my left, "Magician" on my right, and "Physicist is Magician" center back

Got the lining sewn on, all the seams serged, and the zipper installed. Next up is the bips near the hem of the skirt and some other decorations, at which point what the cosolay is should be clear :)
(Probably press the hem and install the waistband at the same time because why not?)

Started on a new cosplay this weekend.
Progress thus far: outer layer, liner, and mockup on one piece, mockup of a second (hence the scribbled note to give myself another 3" or so on the final)

"She looked in need of rescuing..." - Eliwood (Devoted Love), Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword
When we first meet Eliwood, he has just finished sneaking into a den of assassins - by himself! - to rescue a woman he has never met, because she looked like she might need help. Yet Hector is the badass...?

For all that Gilgamesh gets the Ham Master award for FFV (and every other game he is in), let us not forget that Sass Sage Ghido is pretty much made of amazing lines, too!

And, this game was *already* beautiful, and one of the few from that era that still looks good on modern high-definition TVs. Almost certainly due to the art style.
It looks even better now. Pretty sure they took the art and scanned it back in, rather than just upscaling.

So, uh, they definitely added back in stuff that got left out of the original (due to time/budget constraints).
I can't wait to get into the second half of the game.
