Got some progress on the costume to show.

And some on the cabinet.

I know its a kimono, but it just screams pipe to me, with perhaps a haughty "Good eeeeevening."

And now, should you desire to wear your under-kimono to bed, you can say "I sleep with 50 beautiful women every night."

Bonus!

I would just like to say, OH GOD THANK YOU for wrapping the kimono the right way. I have seen waaaay too many people walking around anime conventions blissfully unaware that they are zombies.

Do explain? I don't know the difference, and it's only luck that I haven't become undead.

It's something I had to drill into my wee brain for the sake of getting it right in art. The direction you wrap a kimono in is rather important: left-over-right (so it looks like a 'y' when you're looking *at* it) is for everyday, yes-I'm-alive-and-breathing wear; right-over-left is only used when preparing corpses for burial. There are a few anime series that use this distinction as a way to let the audience know which characters to be wary of, or at least pay attention to. ^^

Spiffy! Good to know.

Now all you need is a black wig in a bun and some face paint and you'll be the prettiest geisha there ever was!
