Third costume I made. I got a lot of help with the sewing on this one but never got to finish it. As you can tell in the photos, the ears and wings were Photoshopped on… and so was the tail. But ANYWAYS! That’s all technicalities. This character is Meroko from Full Moon wo Sagashite, a shojo-type anime which I’m surprised that some guys have watched it! I was very impressed.
Moving along, there are two Merokos. In the anime she appears as she is in the picture, but in the manga her outfit is black. I think the red one suits her personality and purpose better. She’s just so lighthearted and carefree, black doesn’t do her justice. The costume was never debuted other than to hand out Halloween candy, maybe one day I’ll truly finish it. This was back in 2006, so I was… 18. I’ve changed a lot since these pics, it’s shocking! Can’t wait to post the next costume up! 
So, how is all of this assembled? The boots are just boots I had and I Photoshopped them as red 
, the outfit is mostly a satiny material, with the exception of the red section on the top. That was an altered sports bra. Bought a nice over-sized zipper and cut it down to fit. Didn’t bother with putting stoppers on the top so it tends to fly off if you zip it up to the very top. Definitely begging for a wardrobe malfunction if I did debut it at a convention. Disaaassterrr… Bought the wig online, tried to style it. The bangs worked beautifully, but the side curls were ultra fail. Not much more I could do other than melt it. I’m thinking I’m gunna try a glue mix if I ever come back to this costume.
Meroko Cosplay, it was a quick Photoshop cut out so you may notice some of the background is still attached to me… >.>
