Piiictures.

There's one of me after drawing, but the angle is not of the good, mainly because of my complete and utter lack of sword skills. Although I'm getting better at sheathing. ^_^

Now for the wig.

It was weird to put onto the mannequin too. I think it's just the style of clothing. :/

If you really want crispy pleats, ironing it may be your best bet. I tend not to iron things unless it's interfacing to fabric because I'm so bad at it. ^^;;;

I realize Kenshin was drawn with crisp pleats, but the guy wandered for 10 years. This kimono could be seen as the "Wandering Rurouni, Year One", but I hate ironing with a passion, so there. It's not like anyone in THIS neighborhood's gonna recognize me.

:) Excellent.

If you manage to make it to a con (you're always invited with my crew to Comic Con, Otakon, Anime Boston, exc) you can wear it then. :) I was actually scoping out Kenshin cosplayers at Otakon and your costume is better then at least half of the costumes there. :P ('Course, I'm assuming that a good portion of them are professional tailors / seamstresses or bought their costume from one.)
