So if all goes according to plan, I will be attending Halcon 2015 as Neo from RWBY.

I am lucky in that some of the patterns needed for this, (the gators, the corset) I already had from other costumes and I'll be making the pants from a commercial pattern as well so that also cuts down on time.

The parasol arrived from China the other day via Snail Mail.

I have the corset already mocked up and fitted. I used the corset from my Rapunzel costume as a base.  I just made the Jacket mock up a few minutes ago.  I just need shoulder pads  before I can fit it properly.

The back spreads out to about 1.5 meters wide when out flat! :)

Stay tuned.
