Matsumoto rangiku - Bleach

Matsumoto Rangiku one of my favorite characters! I have a thing for strong ladies who can hold their liquor! I made this costume to present at Jacon '06. Unfortunately, I didn't do any sort of right up at the time....so this is vague as I remember very little of the specific issues I ran into. So, it will be what I can remember. You can always contact me if you have any questions!
I made the Hakamas from reading an online tutorial. I kept them as close to accurate as I could.
I modified the opening on the top to be larger to show cleavage since Matsumoto has a lot of it.
I bought some really cheap shoes at Target, cut them up, and glued burlap to them for the look of the sandals they wore.
The necklace was made from dog chain accessories at Home Depot.
The bow in the front was plastic that I covered, so that the bow would keep it's shape.
