Description

Been wanting to upload this for ages since I completed the costume last week, but didn't have the time to do so until today. =A=

Anyway, This is my second attempt at making my own costume... I used alot of modifying as a method for Neku's costume.

Costume: Top and Pants
The top was originally a white sleeveless round collar top, and I attached a long funnel/cone-looking piece onto it as a collar. I wanted to get the layered+folded look that the collar has in the game art, so that's why it's this weird shape LOL.

Then I dyed the entire thing together. The dyeing process probably took the longest, since it took around three times for me to get it to the colour I wanted. After that, I attached the purple+yellow strip thing at the front and I'm done~

For the pants, I modified it from an existing white bermudas (you have no idea how hard it is for me to find one that doesn't have the side bottom pockets =A=), and attached the pockets on. The huge side pockets on Neku's pants took me a while to figure out, cause of it's weird shape and how it pops out of the pants in that manner. ._.

The shoes

Oh, i was so desperate when I was making the shoes, cause I was running out of time. T_T I might remake the entire thing if we are shooting TWEWY again. Anyway, it's modified from another shoe i had (which I used for Raimei's cosplay LOL). Pasted cloth directly onto the shoe, then used black foam to line the bottom edge of the shoe. I forgot to take photo for the 'buckle' part of the shoe, but I used buttons and white elastic band for it. XD;; It's really unorthodox.

Headphones

This thing is hilarious to talk about. I had the idea to use metal containers from this brand of herbal sweets, so I cleared up two containers worth of sweets to get the containers, then attach them to a hair band. Credits to Osaka for helping me do the attaching!! ( I needed help in cutting the metal container =A=) After that, I stuck craft foam all over it and it's done~

MP3 player

I went looking around for a plain white strap thingy for the player, but i couldn't find it! =_= So I ended up buying a pair of shoe lace and made the strap myself LOL. The entire mp3 player is made of jumping clay, and it's pretty much straight forward.

Pins

I vectored out the simpler pins that are in the entire series and got them made at a printing shop~ 8D

First of all...I must congratulate you on a very awesome looking costume ;D I love it!! I was trying to make a Neku costume for Halloween, but had just about given up hope till I ran into this page ^o^ Could you perhaps be a little more specific on the cone piece that you added to the shirt to make it look like the collar in the game? And the dying? I've never dyed anything before >.< I appreciate it!!!
