The following costume and narrative of such is by Bunny-chan:
"I decided to go with the Juuban High School variation because I found the dark blue pleated skirt at a second-hand store for about three dollars."
"A few weeks later, I found the Sailor shirt at a Army-Navy surplus shop for six dollars. The shirt itself is very old, as I found out by the materials used and how it was put together. I tucked the excess length under and hemmed it up, while using velcro to hold together where the zipper was. I filled in the white pinstripes on the sailor flap with a red marker."
"The front bow was made from a dark blue material I found in a bargin bin at Wal-Mart. The material is a little lighter than it should be, but it will do."
"I made the red bow out of scrap material and an extra hair clip. I bleached my hair, which took about three packets of bleacher from Hot Topic to get to that shade."
"I would say that the total cost of putting this together was about $12-15, not counting hair bleach."
A very accurate and beautiful costume.
