My first costume made with a pattern from faerie-fingers.com that we had to play with a bit. It came out really well considering. I got the wig, but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with me wearing it and the costume...hopefully I will find one online (fat chance, only 4 were taken of me at the con) or be able to get one from LadyAmaryllis.

Update 6/21/2004: I finally got pictures up with the wig, great ne? Now I need to fix the boots and get a tiara.

Edit 7/20/04: Wig, tiara, and partially fixed boot photos will be up soon. ^_^

Update 7/20/2005: It's officially retired. I couldn't bear to wear it to Anime Expo because of the boots, but there are so many little things that need to be fixed that I figure if I'm ever going to cosplay Mercury again, I just need to redo the whole dang thing.

It had a good run: Anime Expo 2002, 2003, 2004 and Ani-Magic 2002

It was my first costume and still one of my favorites. It's just time to let it rest and see what I can salvage from it for a new and improved fuku.
